Food Diary

LBG wanted to know what I was eating so I'll update this post each day with what I eat. I'm by no means the healthiest eater and I know there's things I can do better but at the same time this is a lifestyle change and not a diet and I love food!

Monday 20th July

8.30am-11am - 300ml light iced coffee (PB'd)
9.30am - 1 mint choc biscuit
1pm - 1 sm tin tuna with sundried tomatoes and onion
2.30pm - 1 crunchie
7pm - grilled chicken thigh & vermicilli noodle salad

Exercise: 30mins bike; 15mins weights at gym

Tuesday 21st July

10am - Banana buzz boost juice
12.30pm - 3 Premium high fibre crackers with vegemite
2.30pm - Nestle peppermint crisp
6.30pm - Canneloni
8.30pm - small glass of coke
9.30pm - handful of shapes

Exercise: 20mins bike, 10mins treadmill (both using the HR zone trainer); 1 hr dancing class

Wednesday 22nd July

9.30am - Skinny hot chocolate
1pm - Nestle diet yoghurt
2.30pm - violet crumble
8pm - LBG's mushroom risotto (PB'd)

Exercise: 10mins treadmill (incl 4mins jogging at 8.5km/hr); 20mins bike on HR Zone

I had a migraine, reflux, night cough, PB/vomit and the works on Wednesday night, which led to no sleep at all. Really hoping it's related to TTOM and  not a band slip.

Thursday 23rd July
(due to night before didn't eat much of anything)

11.30am - cold milo
3pm - handful of potato chips (PB'd)
5.30pm - crunchie
8pm - 4 oven chips (PB'd)

Had the night cough/PB about midnight but slept through rest of night thank goodness

Friday 24th July

9am - 11am - 100ml (if that) of light iced coffee (think I need to PB it too)

Crazy bandlife

So I'm still living in a little place I like to call PB city. I'm also visiting night cough town each night too. How I can suddenly have too much restriction is seriously beyond me. This will be my 3rd fill removal this year (no extra fill in). I've got an appointment at 9.30am tomorrow. Last night was the kicker for me. After barely eating anything all day (mostly due to having a workshop), I ate a piece of ham and reheated about 4 leftover ravioli in a bowl when I got home. I then proceeded to PB for the next 3 hours. So much so (and you may want to skip over this piece as it's TMI), that it was coming out of my nose in the end. GROSS. Then, yet again, I awoke in the middle of the night coughing (have found my bricanyl inhaler for asthma helps) for about 30mins before I could go back to sleep. The nexium has seemed to help the reflux which is good. But I am SO over this. I was in such a good spot. Yeah my weight loss was slow but at least I could eat with appropriate restriction and no PBing and sleep through the night!

I'm so so so tired and I have had a headache for 2 days. I'm not in a good place right now.

On the positive side, it's Westie's birthday today - she turned 3! Or 21 in dog years! Here's some pics of her opening her pressies today.

Not happy

It's back. The night reflux, waking up choking, too scared to go back to sleep. Was seeing my GP yesterday anyway so he has put me on Nexium. Hope it kicks in soon. Don't want any more fill out as I felt I was in THE zone (until this week anyway, I have been living in PB city).

Will give it a couple days and see if everything goes back to normal. Fingers crossed.
