Day 3

Food

1 bowl of cornflakes and 1 piece of toast with lurpak spread (300)

Pasta Pesto Salad (280)
Sausage Roll (360) need to buy a snack that isn't so bad, damn you greggs. I need a find a way of stopping my blood sugar dropping so low in the afternoon.
Breaded chicken, oven chips and baked beans (550)
2 pieces of watermelon


1490 total

...then staying up late for mum and hunger pangs kicked in, I ate a large apple which is great since I don't count fruit and veg in my calorie intake however it then struck about 11:30 and I had a baked beans and cheese toastie...which is around 400 calories followed by a packet of crisps another 100.

So my total is now 1990, so I'm under 2000 but only 10 under what I should be eating to maintain my weight and 490 what I was aiming for...not good at all.

I'm so angry at myself I was hungry so I ate but I tried the healthy and when that didn't satisfy me I went for the unhealthy from tomorrow I need to eat more calories when I'm at work...do 5 small meals a day rather than 3 big ones and feel bad if I have a snack.

Tomorrow

1. Breakfast (300)

Mid morning snack (100)

Lunch (300)

Midafternoon snack (100)

Dinner (300)

above would be fantastic but I think I should aim for 1500 calories instead, 1200 I lose weight faster but I can't survive a full day at work and the gym on 1200!

2. Breakfast (300)

Mid morning snack (100)

Lunch (400)

Midafternoon snack (100)

Dinner (500)

Late night snack (100)

That's 1500 total and I'm getting to have the late night snack which is a part of my problem I can't stop eating, I don't have much of an appetite when I first get up but force myself to have breakfast because I need it to start my day but then when I get home from work I just want to eat and eat. I know part of it is comfort eating but I don't think I'm eating calories in the right way.

3. Mid morning snack (250)

Lunch (300)

Midafternoon snack (250)

Dinner (500)

Late night snack (200)

Or the above option 3 could work, skip breakfast and eat later but larger snacks more like small meals in the morning and afternoon so I don't feel like I'm forcing myself to eat.

...
As long as I keep my food total roughly under 1500 calories I should be on the right track :)

Exercise: none besides running round the office and 20mins of walking which is about 180 calories at my pace :)

Will go to the gym either tomorrow evening or friday after work. Went a bit mad on the weights and my inner thighs and chest muscles are quite achey today, if they're feeling better by tomorrow I'll go but if not I shall rest until friday and then go friday and saturday, possibly sunday to make it 5 times this week.
