Food Diary: Monday Noms!

Hey guys!! I thought in order to get me out of my 'Octobers' and get me blogging again I'd try to do daily food diaries (plus if I remember to take photos it might help my diet -_-' ) So here is the first one! I only got three photos cause dinner smelt so good I was eating it before I realised...and you don't need to know about that half a pack of ASDA cookies I consumed...hurrrr

BREAKFAST:

I was really hungry and decided to indulge in a big breakfast. It was weird, but oh so delicious and in my opinion, the best way to start Monday! Small tin of baked beans plus two bubble and squeak veggie sausages with mozzarella cheese sprinkled on top!

MID MORNING SNACK:

Handful of chilli coated peanuts and a glass of squash (I drink this glass full of water, but sometimes I indulge in squash)

LUNCH:

For some reason I fancied some sort of leafy salad concoction for lunch (probably my body drowning in carbs going NO MORE PLEASE) so I went for a peppery salad bag (half), feta cheese, mozzarella sprinkles and a hard boiled eggy. Plus a small squeeze of mayo. It was delicious. And cheesy

For my very delicious dinner, I made fried potato slices with garlic and red onion (and more cheese. I am cheese obsessed) loads of peas and battered fish fillets. Diet...whut?

TOMORROW....I shall be more successful, I swear *clutches the air and falls to knees*

STAY BEAUTIFUL

Weight Diary Week 1 Day 1

Hello every one! As I said in my recent update, I will be documenting my weight loss and how I am getting on each week! The days may differ, due to my location, so updates will either be Monday or Tuesdays for the main 'weigh' in, and every day I will try and post a 'food diary' entry (plus photos if I remember).

This week will be the first updates! Hello! I suppose I best start with the embarrassing bit: my measurements ToT These will be updated each week!


Weight: 14 stone 1 pounds/ 89Kg (urrrggggg -_-')


Bust: 37 inches/94 cms
Waist: 34 inches/86 cms
Hips: 49 inches/124.5 cms


My height is 5 foot 4 inches/162.56 cms, so that means I need to lose weight and soon, because I am walking into a whole host of health problems if I don't! I recently lost half a stone, but put it all back on -_-' Annoyed with myself doesn't cover it!


My problem areas are generally my arms, belleh and legs, though I don't mind having big legs/hips/butt, as long as they are toned, which they are not! Plus I have back fat, which I really don't want and it makes me cry.


SO, in order to lose that half a stone again, and more, I am putting myself on a diet. And today was day one. And I don't feel too bad :D I have had cravings for sugar/chocolate all day, but I have been like NO, MONDAYS IS NOT A TREAT DAY. Plus when I think I want something (like earlier on, I wanted an ice lolly cause its HOT) I think to myself; what will I gain from the food? Has it any benefits to my health? If it don't (which ice lollies don't, baw!) then I won't have it! 

I recently won a box of Skinny Sprinkles the other Friday and I got them on last Friday, so I decided to start them today! You are mean't to drink 3 a day, but I am too busy to have my lunch time one, so I did 2 today! They sure do work! I felt more awake and alert, and I felt fuller too! I barely managed to finish my dinner, which was a small portion (though it was so nice, I HAD to finish it, I just had too ;D ) So hopefully, these guys will help! 

You basically pour the mixture in and stir it in water till its about right, then drink! It smells like strawberries and tastes like strawberry medicine. It's not really a meal replacement (more like a snack one) or you drink it 20 minutes before your meal so you feel more full up. The fibre in it expands in your stomach! And its got good stuff in it too, as well as caffeine (so don't have it too late!) 


Food Diary time! Now, bare in mind this isn't a 'diet' diet, its a healthy eating plan, to sort out my sugar cravings and make sure I eat proper food and get my daily intakes. I will be trying to keep up with tracking stuff on My Fitness Pal, but sometimes I am lazy and don't update things, pahahaha!


Skinny Sprinkles as soon as I get up


Breakfast: Tesco Pomegranate and Raspberry Wheats with rice milk, and a small glass of cranberry juice. I know it sounds like a lot of sugar, but its not that bad :P And its low fat, and keeps me full for aaages!


Snacked on grapes


Lunch: home made salad; tuna, rocket, red onion, carrot, spinach and spring onion with a boiled egg. This was DELICIOUS OHM NOM NOM. I love home making salads cause you can put what ever the hell you want in it!


Snacked on 3 cracker breads with a thin coating of Vitalite and Philadelphia Sweet Chilli spreadable cheese.


Dinner: home made pasta with prawns, mushrooms and red onions in a home made cheese sauce (Chilli Philly) topped with a sprinkling of cheese. It was a small portion so it wasn't too bad :P AND IT WAS SO NICE


Snacked on an apple


Drank: multiple cups/bottles of water, 2 x Green teas, 1 x Ginger and lemon tea, 1 x Peppermint tea


Because I was out and about today, I generally wasn't still for that long. I had college for a couple of hours in the morning, then walked round town, before going to my dads for lunch then heading home, where I did some washing and sorted out my drawers. I also started the day with 10 squats so I wasn't too sedentary!


Thus ends the round up for today. I feel full and content and not having cravings any more, so a good start! Oh, it looks like my fitness pal just crashed, so I don't know if I can put all my food diary in today, but I think I hit my targets!!


For a bit of visual, here is a recent photo of what I look like. Obligatory scenery to detract from fat person:

Life Update

Hello every one!

I know I know, I have been away for sooooo looooong, but I am making another attempt at this blogging thing ;)

This is just a quick blog post to say hi, I am still alive! And to let you know what I have been up too!

I am nearly finished with my first year of college now! I have finished most things, except waxing, which I am not keen on, because I love relaxing people and making them feel better with massage and manicure, things like that! I want to have my own spa resort later on in life, named The Lazy Cat Resort! I still have a year left after this though!

I have a jobby! It's only a part time jobby at Primarni (Primark/Pennys), but its awesome and I love it, and it brings in the money! I started early May and it is a permanent job, and I have also applied for a second job at another place, but that's a secret shhhhhh

In weight terms, I have lost about half a stone! I say about because I recently went to Crete, then the week after I saw Nate and the week after that I had PMS soooooo, I have probably put weight back on but I am working out this week and eating less again and I will be weighing myself Friday and restarting my journey with you guys! That will be on Fridays!

I am also going to my first festival in August too! WOO, READING FESTIVAL HERE I COME!!

Now, I must go to bed as I have to be up in the morning for college!

STAY BEAUTIFUL~<3

Weight Loss Diary: Day 1

Hello there! Welcome to the first edition of my Fatties Diary!! This is not a diet diary, as diets and me aren't friends. However, exercise is my friend! For Lent I have given up chocolate, so hopefully, this should help! Though I have to try and reduce the amount of other crap I eat too ;D

So lets start this off with some stats:

First Name: Kitty
Starting Date: 18/03/2011
Starting Weight: 13 stones 5 and a half pounds/ 187.5 pounds/ 85.1 KG
Goal Weight: 12 stone 5
Today's Weight: 13 stone 5.5 pounds
Change from last week: N/A
Total Weight Lost so far: N/A
Other Victories over the last week: N/A
Things to focus on for the next week: Eat less cake!


Today, I started the day with a scrummy breakfast. Now, my way of "dieting" is eating what ever the hell I want, as long as I am eating healthily, three meals a day and not eating lots of crap. So you may gasp at some of my meal choices and go, "But thats full of sugar!". Remember, I am not dieting, I am changing a lifestyle ;D
SO back to today. I might start taking photos of my noms. Just to show you portion sizes I do. Today, for breakfast was:
Tescos Strawberry Crisp

Rice milk
Cranberry juice
Thats generally my breakfast most days; cran juice, rice or soy or oat milk over flakes or clusters of cereal with dried fruit. I love red berries dried in cereals. Its like my more grown up version of Lucky Charms or something!


I am aiming to exercise every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and since today was Friday I did 30 minutes of Core Stability. Some of it was reaaally hard, but luckily a lot was lying down. My muscles wouldn't respond to some of the exercises though, so I had to do really lazy ways!
I didn't eat again till four hours later, which is good, because I am one of these people who need to eat every few hours or so! So I had my daily Go Ahead Forest Fruits Yogurt Breaks, which I love so much I can eat a whole box if I am not careful! So I limit myself to one pack a day ;D I was at college so that was all I had time to eat, until 2pm when I had my prawn sammich, whole meal bread and sweet chili mayo inside! Mmmmmmmm


I had an apple around 3pm, and was doing really well TILL I WENT HOME
I bought popcorn in the Costcutter cause I am PMSing and I CRAVE sugar when I am PMSing! And obviously I can't have chocolate, so I had a small bag of toffee popcorn, which isn't too bad. IT WAS THE THIRD OF A VICTORIA SPONGE I DEVOURED BECAUSE MY MUM HAD BOUGHT ONE CURSE HER. And I can help myself to it D:


At least my dinner kinda filled me up so I haven't had any cake since 7pm (its 22:40pm now). Wholegrain rice mixed with veg, salmon and veggie fingers!! Mmmmmm so nice and so filling!


The last thing I ate today was a pack of crisps my mum gave me cause she and my step dad didn't want to eat them! MY MUM IS MAKING ME FAT XD I don't normally eat crisps though, so its not TOO bad! Just need to eat less cake ;D

Well, with my weight, I did get down to about 13 stones 2 pounds, but where I got ill again and did no exercise I put back on 3 and a half pounds! But if I can loose that from 13 stone 8 pounds, then its all good! I might update during the week, but my weigh in days will be Fridays, so check back next Friday to see if I lost anything!
