Not a great day today got breakfast late so we decided not to have dinner till this evening,bad idea i went for my 6k walk around 2 and got very light headed and weak half way around so i had to cut it short.I think my sugar levels were low or something got home and a diet 7-up and then i started to pick at different foods, slices of cheese,nuts,a mini Mars bar and even a pint of milk dont know what came over me.
I wont be missing a meal again i can tell you that, luckily i still had some of my weeklys left and i had a very low point egg salad for my dinner.
It just goes to show how important 3 good meals a day is.0 -

0pp wow will be giving that a try, is the knorr one no points as well do you know?
not sure i've never used the knorr ones but check the tesco.ie they have the nutritional information for most products. Most those sachet seasoning things are about 2 or 3 points for the whole sachet...so if you were using it between 2 or three people...would be 1pp at the most
Like the Maggi ones do 4 chicken breasts per sachet...but i'm cooking for one...so one sachet will do me 4 dinners!

saw the C25K program mentioned on here (but can't find who posted it again) and was wondering if there are many people doing it???
I am looking for something to motivate me to get on the treadmill and looking at the website the workouts look pretty do-able but am wondering what other people think?

Hi Everyone! Am very tired today - was studying all day for an exam next Sat and I'm so out of practise of studying, I'm wrecked after only fiver hours of study
Went for dinner today and there was three options - beef, chicken or fish. So I went for the chicken thinking it was Roast Chicken (there was no menu) and it came out as Chicken Kiev :mad::mad: Can anyone help me with the points? I couldn't find it in the Eat Out Guide. It was basically a large chicken breast, covered in breadcrumbs and garlic butter. I scrapped off all the breadcrumbs and most of the butter, so I was reckoning about 9pp - does that sound right?
I managed to resist dessert too - big thing for me 0 -

Hey, I'm on my 5th week of it and I love it (it takes 9 weeks to reach the target)
Do you have an I-phone? If so you can download an app called Get Running. Its amazing! I find it alot better than the actual C25k app.. You have your own personal trainer. You can play your itunes and she will just speak over your music to motivate you. Its very achievable and is taken in small steps.. totally worth doing!
Alternatively, Im pretty sure there is another method on the C25k website.
Good Luck x0 -

cool, thanks for that.....I don't have an iPhone....yet but hoping to get one in the next few weeks :cool: I like the idea of small steps towards a big goal (tis why me likes WW as well) and the workouts seem to be broken down nicely....I get bored walking for 30 mins on the treadmill so like the idea of mixing it up with a bit of running.....off to google again 0 -

Quote from myself, earlier on today, might help...There are some couch to 5k IPOD and MP3 podcasts on the internet. If you don't want to be timing yourself, they tell you or make a distinctive noise when it is time to start jogging or walking.
This one has some general chart music but is not that recent. And also has a rock version.
Robert Ulrey's podcast is mainly trance/dance music and can get real boring after a while unless you're into it.
This one has a mixture of songs.
This website can help you make your own podcasts for C25K. It is a bit tricky and you need to read the instructions and download a bit of software. I did it for week 3 and 4 as it is easy enough to do when there are only a few runs but for week 1 and 2, you spend quite a long time trying to make the podcast.0 -
thanks Monife, thats great I knew I had seen some posts on C25K and ipod stuff but just couldn't find it think its time I went to spec savers :eek:
gonna print off the training plan and re-organise my bizarre playlist and get my lazy self up on the treadmill tomorrow evening for a work out!!!:cool:0 -

Last night was the first Sunday night in AGES where I didn't go nuts on chocolate I really want to do well this week and I've decided that it's when I'm tired and sitting on the couch that I find myself reaching for it. So last night, I just took myself off to bed - feel great now! :D 0

Gave ReadyBrek a try today, and a bit disappointed to be honest. Really wanted to like it as you all say how fab and filling it is. I think it's just the texture, I don't like sloppy things. Annoyed now, have a whole box of it and nothing else for breakfast for the week 0

I don't like readybrek at all i would prefer to have porridge in mornings i have tried it a few times but it doesn't keep me as full as the porridge.Gave ReadyBrek a try today, and a bit disappointed to be honest.

What were you having for breakfast before you tried the readybrek ?0 -

Yeah I always have a half a banana on top of my cereal. Do you think I would like Wheatabix if I don't like readybrek or porridge? Don't want to waste any more money. I have fruit salad and yoghurt on the weeks I am trying to be super good but it can get boring after a while, need some form of carb ha ha and also, sometimes I find it is too much for the morning, you know when your not that hungry but you're forcing yourself to eat because you know you will be hungry later, and I often dont finish it.
hiya, I am not a Readybrek fan either, it reminds me of the glue I use when I do crafty stuff with my kids :eek: I love oats and I am a big fan of weetabix.....I know some of the supermarkets like Tesco sell a single portion pack of weetabix (normally where you find the tiny boxes of rice crispies etc) so you could maybe sample it before you buy it?
I try to vary my brekkies as well cause its soooo boring otherwise, I switch between oats, weetabix, rice crispies and corn flakes and then have yougurt and fruit as well.
after fudgegate over the weekend I am on the straight and narrow today......brought in my already pointed brekkie and lunch to work and have printed off the C25K workout so I am gonna give that a whirl tonite :cool: 0 -

lol reading all the readybrek posts...while eating a big bowl of it....i love the stuff :P to make it less goopy just use less milk...
40g readybrek + 150ml skimmed milk + dash of cinnemon = 5pp
I switched to readybrek cos its much cheaper than the particular flavhans I like. The one in the round tube....dont care what anyone says....its a different texture to flavhans in the bag...the oats are rolled/crushed in a different way.
but its like 3 euro a tube....and i pay 3 euro for the readybrek but it lasts twice as long lol0 -

Hi Monife, I agree, don't like readybrek. Porridge too, I used to eat but gone off it totally. Weatbix is a better option. 2 biscuits is 3pp and quite filling, I top it with banana, sweetener and a few raisins.
Toast with an egg is a good option. If you want to try a porridge option , the Aldi harvest morn instant oat sachets ( the orange box with Syrup) is lovely. If I remember correctly it is 3pp per sachet, and very nice!0 -
Downloaded a podcast for this couch to 5k ...is it achievable?i can't imagine me managing it
i think it is cause it starts you off slow and builds you up to the 'big event' I am gonna give it a go and am starting tonite, it gives me a goal to work towards which will motivate me to get up on the old treadmill!!! 0 -

Monife, I was the exact same at first. I had a total mental block about ready break/porridge or anything with that kinda consistency.
But 30g of corn flakes was just too miserable and I was hungry again by 11.
We had loads of sachets of porridge in work, left over from a promotion so I decided to try it and I'm hooked now. I crave it on the weekends even.
I use loads of milk and just half a teaspoon of sugar on mine and I find it grand. I can't eat it if it's too dry. I can't add fruit to it, it just doesn't seem right to me, but my sis adds everything under the sun and my mum adds seeds and stuff.
Maybe try a few different combinations this week as you have the box anyway and don't want to waste it.
Me too! haha! Have a boring meeting that will probably go on till lunch time now so needed something that will keep me going.Lady Lainy wrote: »lol reading all the readybrek posts...while eating a big bowl of it....i love the stuff :P to make it less goopy just use less milk...

Happy Monday everyone.
Very nervous about weigh in today, though I have been drinkings LOTS of water on the advice from here so I'll be devasted if I don't see some sorta loss.
I've realigned my expectations. I'm not even looking for a HUGE loss after the last 2 weeks, I'd settle for a half a pound
Best of luck to everyone for a good week!!!0 -
Treasa good luck today at WI
Ha all this talk about porridge! I thought I be smart and as I was supper hungry this morning, make it in the microwave while jiggling a crying baby on my hip! ruined two bowls of it
so back to the old way in a pot managed to burn the pot as well! oh well but it was worth it! made it with water and normally I add milk and I didn't bother with milk this morning and had it with just a bit or maple syrup and strawberries
yummy
does any one use a pedometer thing to count your steps, how many do you aim for! I surprised my self using one this morning Ive clocked up 10,000 this morning alone , had to ring the doc over baby arm his BCG is horrible it burst pus every were and hole in his arm looks worse than it is though! they had a cancellation and I had 22 minutes to get kids dressed and walk the 15 minute walk to doctor! I made it to the surgery in 10 minutes pushing a double buggy and its a 1km walk not bad for me prob crap really
I felt fine after it though! even the receptionist said I was very quick!
have a new DVD for Zumba going to give that a go!
Lainy Im so going to try the MAGGI thing! sounds yummy!0 -
Just re the breakfast cereals - have you tried the bran flakes? I use that and now bulk it out with strawberries and raspberries as they are all in season! Yum! (Though bran flakes not for everyone)
I was thinking of trying bran flakes I like saltana bran so im sure i would like them if i put chopped banana in with them cos i do that with corn flakes yummy and fills me up0 -
