Today was supposed to be my weigh-in day but I didn't get up til late and forgot to weigh until after I had eaten a lot of porridge and drunk a pint of water so it can wait til tomorrow! (fingers crossed)
Breakfast: Porridge and a fruit cup
Lunch: Low fat carrot and coriander soup and one slice of bread
Dinner: Prawns with red and green peppers and mushrooms and pasta, 1 tablespoon Hellmans extra light mayo to "wet it"
Activities: DIY, scrubbing floors, washing up and went for a 35 minute walk Burned: 283
So today's sums are:
BMR 2308 + 283 Activities - 1751 food = 840 less 500 for weight loss leaves me 340 within budget
Back on track...will report on my weigh in in the morning. I have done tons of exercise this week so hopefully that will have balanced out the serious cheating.
My goal is to lose 5 pounds by April 30th. I have already lost 2 in my first week so 3 to go.
I am off home next weekend, away at a hen weekend the following one, and away for Padhraig's birthday the following one and then back home for my brother's confirmation the following one (23rd April)and they are all events based on food and lead right up to the weekend of the wedding!
I will need to do most of my losing in the next two weeks and then just work on maintaining it before the wedding on 30th. The weekend of the confirmation will be involve a ridiculous calorie intake as my aunts will all bring their traditional speciiality desserts, completely unsafe things like pavlova, banoffee and raspberry cheesecake...mmm, but I will have to get exercise in or there is no way that dress will look respectable on me on 30th! *BTW do not even suggest abstaining from my Auntie Maura's banoffee. It is the yummiest thing ever!
