Hi Ness đź‘‹
Not wasting food is a big issue for me too. And clearing stuff out of the house before I get back to healthy eating. So yesterday I ate far more than I needed or wanted in a bid to get rid of stuff. I didn't sleep very well and feel fat this morning as a result. I have to remind myself that it can go in the bin if that will help me achieve my goals, but it rankles and I rarely think about that until after...

As I am going to run commute all 4 days now this is 4 days were I will "burn" 1000 cals approx
So I am aiming for 2000 a day knowing full well that at least 2 or the other 3 days when I am at home I won't hit that goal.
This allows me wiggle room - I think that restriction causes the "fuckits" and me falling off the wagon
It also allows me to have those treats - so 1 thing I am saying is totally fine is Sunday roast will include wine (I am aiming for this to be the only wine day although I have alcohol free G&T if I want) and a pudding
I'm focusing more on getting the protein in (at least 100g a day)

Hi Ness

Alice,GM EP I think it is an age thing something our parents instilled in us(starving kids in Africa comes to mind) BUT we can change our mindset.
When I go away at hotel I have porridge and then beans and egg no toast or extra toast they put on table.
Dinner Usually a starter which is soup or a fruit salad and main meal no dessert.

Once you are at your holiday place it will be easier so don't be too harsh on yourself.

I binned chocolate nuts that Mr Wp bought me as one is never enough.I don't like binning food BUT rather the bin than on my body.My body is a temple a crappy one at the moment but a work in progress;-)

PT session today and loved being back in routine mind you 6am alarm was harsh.
We changed things around so no trap bar back to barbell down to 32k but more reps so 15 x3 sets,each week it will be heavier weights but less reps untill we are down to 3 reps(that must be a huge amount to lift)
Weighted squats x15 x 3 sets
bent over row with barbell(new to me) 18kg 15 reps x 3 sets
Squats same as above
finish with my favorite sit ups!

That sounds like an interesting way to progress with weights. WP. It will be good to see how heavy you can lift when you are down to 3 reps!

I have just got weighed and put even more weight on whilst travelling. We’re here now and the health regime starts now! Today is the first day etc etc etc.
