Re: International Army February 2020

It was gorgeous Jacks - but won't eat much again today -- stuffed!

I think brunch has become a 'thing' here - I remember when I was in Canada with Jilly some years ago - brunch was huge at the weekends - but noticed in town last week just how many people here seemed to be buying into it... it's a nice meal - lighter than lunch but richer than breakfast I s'pose… if I didn't go to work I would deffo eat two meals a day - one mid-morning and one in the evening.. but work dictates that I'm STARVED 3 times a day :happy2:

Re: International Army February 2020

Molls a lot are on to IF Intermittent fasting 12/8 .
Where you fast from the night before (easy cos you're asleep) for 12 hours and condense your eating into 8 hours. So Brunch / Dinner.
I like it cos I'm never hungry first thing.
Mistake I made was to eat & snack for the 8 hours :haha:

I would very rarely eat after 6pm or before 9am the next day so that'd be automatically 15 hours? Usually just grab a slice of toast going out the door in the morning - and truly don't like eating late... but I guess most people are like that no??

Edit.... says she eating big pack of tayto as we speak ;-)

Re: International Army February 2020

Ah FFS!

But seriously 15 hours is brilliant - giving your system a rest - that's why you can control your weight.
I'm a divil for eating at night.
Not big meals - but bars & fruit.

I think I lost my brain to belly 'FULL' function years ago..

Delighted we are back up and running. I can stop chewing JC's ear off on FB messenger. Security blanket is exactly how Id put it Rustop, plus Id miss everyone here, the chat and the nightly updates.
That 'Fuck it' moment could happen any time - I dont want to take any chances :nightmare:

Few hangover on the run this morning. Another reminder of what I am NOT missing. I remember trying not to vomit on runs, they were my pay back for being so stupid again.

Re: International Army February 2020

I have done IF too and think its very sensible. Try to weave it into my days now, finish eating at 6 etc. But anyone I know who does the 2 days fasting (myself included) always loses weight and finds it very easy.

Re: International Army February 2020

Lying on the couch in front of the fire watching the rugby. A bit achey today after a half marathon yesterday. We had to run into a gale force wind which was tough, it is a course I do not like much but actually I loved the day.

Grateful for being sober. Grateful for being able to do all the running and grateful for you lot!!

Re: International Army February 2020

evening... I dunno bout fasting or dieting.. I've said it before, but has any one of you ever looked at photo's of self even 10 years ago - or 15 and thought we looked worse?(well except for drink laden ones obviously) -- we waste half our lives thinking we are fat or chubby or chunky or some equally dismissively horrible description... should we not be glad of how we are instead of 'if only'... 'if only I was a stone lighter/had a smaller waist/bum/hips/could stop eating/ could do dieting/fasting..... etc. etc... -- just be confident and happy how we are? We are alive -- and probably healthy - and MAKING ourselves less happy with discontent with ourselves and our image?

Nowadays -- I am what I AM.... and that's it... truly

Re: International Army February 2020

Re: International Army February 2020

Evening everyone. I tried the 5-2 but have to admit I was too hungry on it. My problem is snacking and portion size and that is why I am a stone overweight. Don’t feel good with the excess weight and feel better to be doing something about it but love the new WW program. Did a lovely walk again today and had a roast chicken dinner. Feet up now watching Dancing with the stars.

Re: International Army February 2020

Think the reason I love this programme is because it’s just healthy eating so I don’t feel I am dieting. Good food is free it’s the junk and not so good you point. It does not mean you can’t have it, you can but you have to have the points.
