Healthy New You: Your Change For Life #2

I know it's fab! Almost finished 3 years back but went off to uni and never got round to getting there. Just had a two hour lesson now and it went well. Didn't stall at least!

It makes life so much more convenient. Haven't driven in about 7-8 months but thinking when I get back behind the wheel it will feel natural.

Lost a pound! And totally ready to kick this week's ass after a week without my now usual exercise routine.

EDIT: Also Matalan have a new colossal mag that they send free to existing online shoppers (£2 in store) and I soooo want to buy like 3-5 things, Im waiting to drop a full dress size before buying anything and then only one or two cos I cant buy the stuff for my September holiday now when I hope to be a different size. Ah if only I could know the future and buy now for then or know whatll be about in the shops right before I go - hope they still have holiday stuff.

Well done :-).

I went to Matalan the other day; I've always loved it there tbh! Even when I was huge it was one of my favourite shops.

I love Asda reduced section. Got myself a quiche(which I cut into 4 bits working out at 255 calories a piece) 6 wholemeal rolls, 8 sachets of cup-a-soup and a pot of fresh mango and pineapple for 2.95 Keeping in mind the cup a soups alone were 1.50 I'm very pleased with that.
I put them into sandwich bags and stuck them in the freezer, that's lunch/dinner for three nights sorted then

I'm a girl and I want to start doing strength exercises and build muscle mass but I don't eat a lot, I'm just not hungry and I get full really really easily. If I force myself to eat, I end up feeling sick and I'd rather just not.

I was wondering what would happen if i started strength training? Lifting weights etc without upping my intake

Lost 2.9 pounds this week. Getting slightly annoying that no weight seems to be budging from my stomach/hips, it seems to just be coming off areas I'm already relatively ok with! It looks like I'll probably reach my weight goal for Lanzarote and graduation, but not my goal of how I wanted my body to look. Exams FINALLY finish this week, and while words cannot express how excited I am to rejoin life outside of the library, also slightly nervous of ruining all the progress I've made in the last few weeks. Social eating has always been my downfall, and from when I finish (Friday 5pm!) I seem to be eating out constantly for the weekend..Then on Sunday after work I'm going to Alton Towers, and we'll be staying in a hotel without access to a kitchen so eating out there as well, really hope I can manage to at least mantain next week! Going to try go to the gym/for a run on Saturday and Sunday to try balance things out, but given we're all going out on Friday not entirely sure how realistic Saturday morning is. I guess I'll find out!

PinkyPurply's advice is right stick to 1400 calories. In fact I think you need to increase it a bit more to 1600 calories especially as you exercise a lot too. unfortunately because its the last few pounds and your body is already at a very healthy weight its gonna take a really long time to get rid of the last few pounds so patience is key

Well done :-). All the weight I have left is around that area as well so maybe it's just the way it goes.

I've just had the nicest (but probably very calorific) dinner ever. Oh well. I have all week to exercise!

Thanks! Hopefully for both of us the last bit of weight leaves from where we want it to! What did you have for tea? Had a rubbish one because I came in from work starving and ate loads, so didn't have many calories left to play with :P

Braised steak with gravy and lots of veg, some potatoes with cheesy stuff on top, slice of garlic bread, slice of tomato/cheese garlic bread, activia yoghurt, piece of fruit cake, and half a bag of maltesers. Oops!
