The day has moved like a snail, but i've been making progress that's not at all sluggish!

'Another good day, another saved dollar, another inch gone, another bit hollower.'


Today has been a slow day without much interesting news to report. I must confess that i weighed myself yesterday and have done so today and i am already only 2lbs off my pre-holiday weight! yipee!

I love the first few days where the weight just slips off, but i know it will get harder as the days go on. Back to losing 2lbs again! lol.

Back to today... heres a list in order of all my uninteresting pieces of news and comings-and-goings for today:

1st news) MUSCLE CRAMPS CAUSE GIRL TROUBLE ON LOO

Yes...its true! That workout was uber tough last night, and i can certainly tell it this morning. I woke up to achy legs and hips, i couldnt squat without horrible pain. So when i was at work i had to sit really quickly on the seat so it didnt hurt too much. I cursed my boss when she made me do the floor sweeping with the hand brush!

- I woke up as per usual and forced myself out of bed. As my planned lunch was 5 olives I had to be downstairs a little earlier. I first dabbed all the excess oil away with paper towel, then washed them of all the grease, then put them on another towel to dry. I was then satisfied that i got 99.9% of the oil out.

2nd news) WOMAN SHOWS WEAKNESS AS SHE BOWS OUT FROM SECOND EXERCISE OF THE DAY

The first exercise was my walk to work in the morning which was always a guaranteed. The 40 minute walk burns off around 100kcals. However, i had also planned to visit the gym later after work. However, after a long day with achy feet and sore hammies, I was feeling a bit rough. However i was still going to go until my boss gave me some free frozen food to take home for the family. As i couldnt let it defrost in my bag, i had to get a lift home. And thus my exercise plan was pulled out fo whack. By the time tea had gone it was too late to go. I wish i had but knowing i will do some tomorrow comforts me.

3rd news) GIRL MANAGES NARROW ESCAPE FROM AN AVALANCHE...OF FOOD!

Oh yes! The dreaded teatime! On my planner i had arranged to eat 1/2 my soup today (which would have been 155kcal), however when arriving home my mum had already cooked tea. My heart gave a jolt when she told me she had made tea. I knew the recipe she was making was low fat however i was still not sure of the calorific values.

I sidled into the kitchen and slyly phrased some of my questions so i found out what ingredients were actually in it. To my relief i found no banned or terribly dreaded substances like cheese in it (it only contained chicken, onions, tomato ketchup and soy sauce). After fumbling around for the recipe i was mortified to find no cals on it. So i searched the internet and can finally put my mind at rest knowing that the coke chicken was only 150kcal. phew!

There are two counts today in which i could have 'slid down in the abyss' of food. One was at work, i managed to avoid all tasters. My resolution slightly tipped in the afternoon as i put a piece of shortbread in my mouth but i was soon to come to my senses and spit it out! The second time was at tea. I proudly left my rice in a little pile on my plate and didnt eat it. I was off alot of carbs before the holiday, so i had to get back on track. I also refused pudding.
Lastly and probably should be the news at the BOTTOM:

I took some more laxitives today to clear my bowel before i weighed myself. I have been so afraid of starting on the ducolax again after i had a bad experience with them. The last time i took them i had excruciating stomach pains and woke up with my body lying at a strange angle, i realised i must've blacked out. So now i just take the stimulatory suppository ones. It works, but not if you want to get rid of cals...

Heres some info on laxitives i found which might prove useful i helping you make up your mind for or against them:

I cannot find the site now, but read in depth about a study in which both bulimics (predominant in laxitives) and non-bulimics had to eat a large amount of food in a short period of time. This amount was around 3000kcal. Then the bulimics were asked to use the laxitive they usually use. Both samples from the non-bulimic group and the bulimic group were analysed. It was found that if taken at high doses, the laxitives only relieved the bulimics to the maxuimum of 100kcal.

No other new news to report so it just leaves me to sum up for the day...
