Carolyn's come to the conclusion that exercise plays a big
part in her dieting success - here's her diary for May.
Carolyn's Diet Diary For May
May 1st
Bank holiday weekend and lots of plans starting with a meal
out as a belated birthday treat with my best friend. Saved up
lots of calories for meal out and all went really well until
back at her house she offered me a vodka & coke....in a pint
glass. Would be rude to refuse.......
May 2nd
Woke up regretting the mega vodka and coke(s) ...ok so
after the first one I figured that the damage was already done
and had another. Had to have a cooked breakfast in the hope
that it would make me feel better (it didn't) went back to
bed. This is the first day in months that I had no exercise -
but just couldn't face the thought of all of yesterday's
alcohol being forced to move around my stomach. I really will
never drink again.......
May 3rd - 12 stone 5
Monday - weigh in day - first thing in the morning after my
bath. 1lb loss. (much more than I deserved!!) - 4 stone 9
since I started, 3 stone 1lb since starting WLR Feel Ok today
(well enough to take the dog out who hasn't forgiven me for
going back to bed yesterday after breakfast instead of
trotting round West London with her)
May 6th
Badminton night. Too late home so instead of nice healthy
pasta bake grabbed a pasty from Victoria station. Played
badminton for an hour with the old man who is on a "mission"
to hit the shuttlecock as far away from my racket as possible
so he can watch me run (?) across the court. He is, he says,
doing it for my own good.
May 10th - 12 stone 3
Good week last week - no major blow outs. Cooked a superb
Vegetable Korma over the weekend with spinach in as well as a
mixture of every other vegetable I could find in the market
(it was on special offer). Ate a mountain of it and still less
than 400 cals - now that is a good meal choice. Today is a big
day as the treadmill (pressie from hubbie) arrives today.
Cannot wait to get home from work to start training for the
Race for Life
May 11th
Am knackered. Didn't know it was so hard to run. It was
only 1 minute at a time and I came off the treadmill dripping
in sweat and legs (arms and whole body) like jelly. Thought I
was averagely fit - but guess not. Is it really possible that
I will get round a 5k course in only 11 weeks.
May 13th
Hate running....hate the treadmill
May 15th
Eurovision Song Contest and husband away watching his
beloved Manchester City. Have decided to paint the lounge.
9pm
Lounge, me and dog painted. Am celebrating with Pizza and
glass of wine - shouldn't have ordered garlic bread - will
only have 1 slice
May 17th - 12 stone
Have lost 3 lb this week - must be the running. Good couple
of weeks - have stuck to the calories (even with Saturday -
but figured that could have Pizza and enjoy it with no problem
with all of the painting exercise calories)
May 24th - 11 stone 12
May 26th
Love running - managed 4 minutes for the first time. I
think I'm getting the hang of this
May 28th
Have just entered contents of my packed lunch on WLR. There
must be a way to enter it quicker or else I have too many
things to eat (and as the diary builds up and the number of
foods increase) it takes longer. Can't I just have asparagus
every day?? Am away for the weekend so hopefully will manage
to balance diet and exercise - how can I do without the
treadmill... Carolyn intends to share her
diet diary with us until she reaches her goal weight, so watch
this space! Her June diary will be online around the end of
July. Carolyn's Diet Diary
