I am missing my carbs...50 measly grams for dinner???! I kid you not, that's one slightly large new potato OR abt 14 pasta spirals ( I counted). And only 80g of protein for dinner - dreadful! I am so weak from hunger!
Patrick, you sure you got the numbers right? 170g of protein + 1 egg a day - seriously?! I feel positively faint from hunger. Not to mention a tad cranky...tried to sneak in a few extra pasta spirals, but my helper piped up "ONLY 50 GRAMS!!!". Spoil sport.
Safe to say, my thoughts have been drifting to our first indulgence day. Note, Patrick has not even mentioned it to our group yet, so it's clearly not anytime close but I've read it on the other blogs...gosh to be able to tuck into grilled sausages, chocolate chip cookies, fried chicken...sigh...
On a more positive note, a different set of numbers are cause for some cheer - am now 53kg. Started the program at 55, so Yay!
And have found my groove re working out - between 3-4pm is my sweet spot. I'm just not a morning person and evening's way too tough...too tempting to just bail.
So nipped into the gym today at 4 and slayed it - 35mins, done!
Patrick's email today on keeping the sets close made a huge difference - no sense in prolonging the pain so just went for it. Hopefully i'll be able to maintain this over the next few weeks.
And doing the sets at the gym was helpful - not the busiest time obviously so had one of the trainers help by keeping an eye on my form.
Think they were thinking, who's this weird chick with her resistance bands....oh, just you wait till day 90.
Did you bring your own skipping rope too? Know what you mean about the night time carb grams! Seems wrong, but actually, if I eat slowly without wolfing it down, I am perfectly full. Hasn't stopped me thinking about tucking into some chocolate- but have resisted, although had a couple of biscuits yesterday.....
ReplyDeleteI have felt a bit hungry too at times. Nights mainly right after I have fed the baby and put him to bed. I have broken down and had a bit more fruit but resisted the piece of bedtime toast that I have been craving but carbs at night are really not good I know.
ReplyDeleteGood that you have a helper overseeing your food.
But your progress is great - 2 kgs. Go Elaine!!
Great Going Elaine...2 kgs..Good Work..
ReplyDeleteWell, i think Carb content is fine if you eat it slowly..Your helper is keeping watch on your food..Dnt't sneak in some more carb..;)
