Had a very self-indulgent weekend without much cycling, and am now laid up not riding much, so I've put some weight back on

Fairly static for January, which I suppose is better than a rise. Must move more and eat less.

Fat's winning. So far.

(Could do without the 'backlog' issues though

)

Note to self: more flax seed required.

Slightly up but had a big weekend eating out twice a day for three days so frankly a small gain is probably a good result. When I weighed myself on Saturday I was down so I guess I just need to focus again now this week.

I've found a low cal breakfast that I'm happy with that doesn't involve toast with lashings of butter. I'm not really a cereal person so toast was always my default option.

As I'm not really a snacker anyway I am trying to eat smaller portions, which I find quite hard and sometimes I just don't manage it. In order not to pick at any leftovers after dinner I'm making adamski eat everything

Up by way too much.

I'm back on the bike after too long a break. With that discipline returning I'm hoping others will fall into place again. Thinking I may return to MFP for a bit.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #3755 on:** 30 January, 2013, 10:27:08 am »

Same as last week, although I was more at the weekend.

crowriver · « **Reply #3756 on:** 30 January, 2013, 11:56:24 am »

Back up to where I started at the beginning of the month.

Too much snacking, not enough exercise this past week. I could blame the weather but in reality it's sheer laziness. Must do better in February!

hellymedic · « **Reply #3757 on:** 30 January, 2013, 12:46:05 pm »

Same again for fourth week BUT
My January kilo is still off
I had a Big Meal Out on Monday
There are backlogs.
See what next week brings.

David has lost a little weight having been static since the start of November. We started around 75kg last January and he stuck around 64kg till last week.

We're aiming for 60kg.

Mum noticed I'd lost weight when I saw her today.

Quite surprisingly I'm down a bit having had a weekend including caik, pizza and a fry-up and not a massive amount of cycling.

Hopefully the ice dissappearing should allow me to get more riding in now which should help.

LindaG · « **Reply #3759 on:** 30 January, 2013, 05:30:43 pm »

Oh dear.

Oh very dear.

Oh well, I have had the same weekend as mcshroom and also a moderately big birthday. And tomorrow is another day.

Given Feline’s birthday was yesterday and mine the day before (Yo Sushi for lunch, cinema trip with bucket of popcorn and pepsi, and trip to Franky and Benny’s to follow) , plus we had haggis neaps and ~~tattoos~~* tatties on Saturday, and went to the Lamb for Sunday lunch as well (plus I made a highly calorific leek and potato soup on Sunday) only gaining 1kg this week is quite a result.

(And I’ve not been on a bike since Friday!)

I'm curious now... I always assumed it was "neeps". Is "neaps":

1. The one true spelling, and "neeps" is a figment of my imagination?
2. An alternative to "neeps"?
3. Also an autocorrection?

simonp · « **Reply #3762 on:** 30 January, 2013, 11:36:18 pm »

I think you're correct. Neaps was me not autocorrect though. iPhone does not correct neeps.

Up 0.1 kg this week. Not been a Good Dog with the Diet and exercise, as in not much of either in an "Easiest Option" sort of way!

hellymedic · « **Reply #3764 on:** 30 January, 2013, 11:58:23 pm »

Mum visited today and brought a Danish pastry that she'd cut in half.
I had one half earlier today and David and I shared the remainder.

Suddenly, David feels full and I feel bouncier than I have for a long time.
CAEK and pastries are addictive. Good thing no more are available...

I've always thought it was neeps too. Tasty either way.

My Scottish mother-in-law hosted a Burns Night for us on Saturday, during which much haggis, tatties, neeps, whisky, cranachan and Edinburgh fog were consumed. (Amazing how all the poems seem to make perfect sense after a few "wee drams".

)

Thing is, she made rather a lot of haggis, so we've been eating the leftovers all week. Which may be one of the reasons why my weight is back up.

Really need to get back into the habit of doing the long cycle commute. No excuse not to now the snow has gone.

From the weights reports thread:

Quote from: Caerau on 31 January, 2013, 06:00:01 pm

Am I too late for this?

Nope. The weights graphs are (usually) updated weekly, and the data scraping code doesn't care if you join in late. If you have weights recorded elsewhere from previous weeks then you can add them also, they will be picked up. You could even fill in data for 2012 in the 2012 thread - the graphs show the previous 6 months. It mainly fusses over you putting stuff in the expected place and format, so if it doesn't work for you then PM me and I can investigate.

Well I hit my first mini-target for the year today.

I now weigh the same as I did on 1st January 2012

Well I must lose some this year and get some distances in. So boozahol may see a dramatic reduction and even the delightful bacon sarnies may have to be reduced in number (except at YACF camping week ends of course) thereby inducing withdrawal symptons. Now then gruels I have known......

Wowbagger · « **Reply #3770 on:** 01 February, 2013, 10:42:42 pm »

I had a measurable weight loss between yesterday morning and today - around a kg. I don't think it was water either as I consumed lots of tea yesterday evening and had to get up twice in the night for a piss. I think the bulk of it was 50 miles of sloggage on a very windy day. I probably burned a couple of thousand calories more than usual.

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #3771 on:** 02 February, 2013, 02:41:27 pm »

I had a 1 to 1 shrinking thinking coaching session this morning. It was really tough and I cried A LOT but I think it will be helpful in the long run. It was about timelines, the timeline of my life and looking at painful events from my past which weren't fully resolved at the time and helping me to release the lingering emotions now. My primary unresolved emotion was anger and we looked at three specific events one from childhood and two from adulthood and my coach helped me to release myself from the unconscious emotions I still had relating to those events. The theory is that I need to be able to let the angerhurtshamesadnessangerresentmentfearanger go before I can stop punishing/comforting myself with chocolate. It's too hard and too personal to explain here but it was very powerful stuff.

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #3772 on:** 02 February, 2013, 02:44:37 pm »

Also, I am surprised by how frequently some of you weigh yourselves. My weight can fluctuate by several pounds in a day. I weigh myself once or twice a month and pay attention to the trend rather than every day.

mcshroom · « **Reply #3773 on:** 02 February, 2013, 02:49:11 pm »

I only weigh myself every day to give a good trend line. The numbers can move up and down over a kilo from day to day so there's no massive value in those, but the 10-day average is more representative.

came across this movie yesterday, (apologies if it's been posted before)
