new plan

I can not loose weight. I am making plans, doing diet, walk, climb, etc but i can not. mostly because of long sitting hours at work, in front of computer and returning home to a 2 year old without being able to do any excercise. But at least i was walking up the stairs instead of using elevator and i was not gaining any. Last month, suddenly, my knee started to hurt for no reason at all. I had to stop using stairs. And that was the turning point. I started gaining again. So, I have to come up with a plan, and stick to it which is the difficult part. For some reason I can not stick to diets at night anymore. Every night, i feel like i am this person who havent ate anything all day (except that i eat a lot) and finding myself in front of the fridge all the time. And, this is the critical part, at those moments i cant remember why i should not eat. It seems clearly logical at the time. I really cant remember my reasons for over eating. So I need a start to put an end  to this. I checked my posts here. How easy it was to loose weight without having a child at home, walking around 8 miles a day... Now i have to do it the hard way. Maybe exercise videos or something, i don't now. Any advice?
My previous eating plan was like this (no work, no baby plan  =])
10:30: breakfast
12:00: snack
13:30: lunch
16:30: snack
19:00: supper
sleep in between 1 and 3 am
this was working quite good. every morning after breakfast, i was going out to a mild walk for a 1 or 1.5 miles. And during the day I was again walking 1 or 2 miles. Every evening after dinner, i was at least walking 3 to 5 miles.
So here is a new plan:
09:20 breakfast-  sandwich or egg&musli - 150cal to 240cal
11:00 snack- 3 corn&rice or  fruit - 100 cal
12:30 lunch- soup and vegetable and/or chicken (or meet or fish) and yoghurt - 530 cal
15:00 snack- 3 corn&rice or  fruit - 100 cal
17:00 snack- 3 corn&rice or  fruit - 100-150 cal
20:00 supper- vegetable salad & yoghurt 160 cal
TOTAL  1140 cal to 1285
sleep at 00:00
Normally, eating that late, around 20:00 is not advisable. But I couldn't find a way around since I am returning home late from work. And it is very important for me to sit as a family and eat altogether. So I can not change that time. I took the snack after dinner to before it cause there is this big interval between lunch and supper. Anyway, without any sports, I ll see if this plan is working or not. At least I have a plan now  =]


Finally started to loose wight

You know what they say, do not eat the last 4 hours before you go to sleep which is fair I guess. But now I have a baby, who wakes up very early, I can not stand after 10pm. I have to go to sleep. And sleeping at 10, and arriving home from work at 7pm and eat around 7:30ish means I am sleeping right after dinner.

I guess this was the weakest chain at my diet. So I stopped eating after 6pm which seems like a wise decision at the moment. I finally started to loose weight. yay   =].

And one more suggestion, if you, like me, do not have the time for exercise, WALK UP the stairs. Don't use the lift (or elevator, maybe I should say =]). It helps.

back to square 1

useitorloseit has left me a message saying not to give up. I appriciate it a lot. Made me feel that I am not alone. So, I am back again starting from 65.8kg. I'll again plan my meals to see if I can come up with something more healthy than my last diet and see where it goes from there. Thank u again anna  =]

a new diet, a new plan

 ok. I am getting worse and worse. I need a plan. It seems i can't diet without a plan, can you? In these past few months, I learned that I can't although it was easy to loose weight when I was younger. I only needed to be careful about what i eat. Now, if i don't have a plan and suddenly got hungry, i start eating whatever comes handy at the time. Mostly very high calories. Not nice  =]. I guess it is about blood sugar. So I need a plan to stick to. Besides, i don't have time to do any exercise at the moment. My great plan, which has been tested many times, works with walking daily. 

====  at this very second i got a call to learn that one of my friends had just given birth to a baby boy, yayyy   =]

Anyways, i was saying, i need a plan

So here it goes:

first, i need a bottle to drink more water at work. Those tiny paper cups do not get much water, and I am very lazy to fill it countinuously. So, first things first, i need another starbucks plastic water bottle, which was very handy as i remember from my previous job. Twice or three times will do the trick throughout the day.

Secondly, my breakfast. I don't like eating as soon as i get up. So that means i can not eat cereal at home. I usually buy a sandwich when i arrive at work from the patissera just across the street. Well, that is not a good choice for a diet. And i cant eat cereal at work, cause i hate cereal without cold milk. And i do not have a refrigirator here. So, i have to find sth else. I am thinking of corn&rice pops which is not a bad choice until I find a better idea. I want sth healthier and testier naturally.

Lunch. I have eat out for lunch. And i do not like salad a lot. I don't feel full afterwards. So i ll go for vegetables and diet chichken type of thing. I need a backup plan here, since I can't go out to eat everyday. Maybe i shouldnt be lazy and bring sth from home. But that is the most dangerous decision, cause when i got home i am always very tired and I have a baby to look after. And anyway, the evening meals are the most dangerous ones.

Evenings. As i said, this is the most dangerous meal of the day. I arrive home at around 7:30 ish, which is a very late time for a propr meal. I mostly do not have time to cook. So there is food if the nanny cooked us that day. So, here is a quick plan, until I come up with something better. I will buy vegetable bags to boil. I know lots of people do not like them that way. But fotunately, it is not like that for me. So, i can ask nanny to boil them daily, which will be ready as soon as i arrive home. And most importantly, if i need a snack at night i ll go for the vegetables or cereals.

Ok. This is the plan now. Not a very good one but still it is a plan. And for the big weekend breakfasts, I ll find a solution. And i will convince myself to cook at the weekends. We ll see.

My goal is to loose 1kg every week, which is a highly ambitious plan. It will work easily for the first 2 weeks until I got to 65. Cause this is mostly water weight. And we ll see after that. I guess all of you know by now that 1kg is 7000 calories. Which basically means I have to get 1000 calories less than I use during the day. I have a very sedentary life at the moment without exercise. So I probably need 1800calories most during the day. Which means, daily I have to get no more than 800 calories. Wow, that is difficult. I need a calori calculator and have to keep track of the food I eat so that i can see how i am doing and come up with a better plan that can be applicable to my life style at the moment.

So, good luck to you all.  Hugs  =]

square 1

It is obvious that I can do it again after that last diet when I was in UK. But somehow I couldn't manage it in the last couple of months. But i shouldn't be complaining anyway. I gave nearly 20kg (44lbs) after the birth. Well anyway, back to square1. I am where i was when i started dieting in UK with 141lbs and my goal is still the same, 110lbs, some day, one day  =] I ll get things easier this time. With this new post i am starting on the 6th and the baby i wont be able to do much. But just loosing a couple of pounds every month until christmas is enough for now. And after christmas i'll start a very strict diet all with the exercise and everything. And i should write to this diary from time to time to be focused.
Wish me luck...
