Off to circuits - carb intake today - 1 small piece of toasted wholemeal bread. 🙂
are you sure it wasn't a normal sized piece of bread?
Ive just found that lots of cadbury's celebrations and some cake equates to a decentish pace on the road bike, even with 20mph head winds.
Think I've overdone the nuts today - pecans, puistachios, cashews. Tasted good though
It was a normal size piece cut in half 🙂
Dahl on toast for me tonight (post workout). I found it really hard doing my (albeit lightweight) weight routine tonight, but then i worked out what i ate today and realised i'd only had piece of blackpudding/2 fried eggs/small portion of quinoa for breakfast, half a bag of salad/a tomato/half a chicken breast for lunch, and some almonds as snacks.
Oh well, that felt better than last time 🙂
Me no likee burpees 😐
What to put with my chilli 😕
If you've worked out you can have toast... or rice... or ice cream...
What's good with chilli - can't really manage mashed butter beanz - there are too many beans in there already. I had to do all my exercises at the back this evening due to last night's chilli 😳
Got any quinoa? That's my new favourite.

Yesterday i cracked at lunch time, but it wasn't my fault... ok it was, but i'd had an incredibly **** morning due to idiots. The chicken caesar baguette and chocolate brownie from M&S did make me feel better though.
I was back on track last night and i've just made some onion bhajis for dinner later.
Well it's my day off and i'm having Maltesers for tea 🙂 Lots & Lots of them.
Day off, has involved bread, crisps , cake, curry and now beer.
I had my 2 days off (after a long weekend in Spain where I had a few days off, but I was doing a lot of windsurfing and biking) and expected to be way over.
But no. 89kg. Down from 98kg in May. Which is lighter than I've been at any time in the last 20 years plus. And my ability to get to the top of the hill first is increasing too. Good man iDave for cajoling me to start.
Yeah I am still on board, and losing it steadily (doing 95% slow carb as still having muesli). I enjoy my cooking and find this works really well, tonight I had cauliflower and cannelinii bean mash with garlic and paprika and a big fat steak.
Been on the slo-carb/iDave for 4 weeks as from tomorrow. Weigh-in this morning, lost a total of 5.5 KG, 4 cm round my belly. Due to domestic stuff and work shifts, only ridden once in the month and bugger all else, so will see how month 2 goes. Feel generally better, not really craving bread, pasta etc. Cheat day today, but don't seem bothered about sweet stuff etc. Happy days!
I'm living off Dorset cereal muesli at the minute (especially orgasmically yummy with strawberry yoghurt) Is it iDave diet approved?
Museli No, yoghurt No. Apart from that, all ok.
shit
Not that either.
😆
walked into that.
need something that is yummy (see above) that I don't need to cook, will fill me up, and is ready in a minute.
thanks
A can of mixed beanz.
Butter.
Kidney, even.
Cherry tomatoes, salami/chorizo, coleslaw, pistachios. A glass of V8 juice with worcester sauce (special edition) salt and tabasco,
A pleasing side effect of the diet for me is that I don't feel the constant urge to clear my throat which had been a lifelong thing and people had assumed was some nervous thing. Which I always knew wasn't the case. I'm also finding a surprising number of endurance athletes are only taking med/high GI carbs before during and after training now.
I abandoned the iDiet for 9 days and lost over a kg and an inch off my waist.
I ate at least a baguette a day, tons of dried fruit and nuts, energy bars, crisps and chocolate. A three course meal every evening with seconds or thirds of each course. Before eating an iDiet compliant breakfast of eggs I tried to eat muesli topped with porridge... I did do an awful lot of exercise though.
TSY - was this during transalps or something?
Trans Provence iDave. A truly fantastic event 🙂
That changes 'a little' the slant of your weight-loss post then 🙂
Sounds fantastic, dead envious me.
iDave - it was! Now for the next challenge... or look in the coin jar and enter next year 🙂
Anyway... a friend has decided it's time to iDiet... can someone put up a link to the fact sheet? I forgot to attach it to the e-mail I sent from work. Thanks.
Now for the next challenge
How about a sub five minute mile. 🙂
😀 That's on the list Darcy... I want something a bit more epic though 🙂
I want something a bit more epic though
Given the near impossibility of you achieving it, I'd say it's fairly epic 🙂
Ha... is it really that hard then?
I drunkenly told someone (a good runner) one day years ago that any old eejit could do a five minute mile..."I mean how hard can it be?"...he laughed at my youthful stupidity and bet me a tenner I wouldn't do one in six minutes, let alone five. So, we arranged a meeting at a running track, he told me that I should probably use a pace maker. Off we went for four laps + the extra bit for the mile.
I swear, I balls-out sprinted for four laps - at least that's what it felt like - with my housemate (also a handy runner) pacing me for two and a bit of them. The last lap went by in some kind of delirium. I crossed the line at 5.50.
Then I puked.
Then I collapsed.
Lay there for around 5 minutes before I could even speak.
Could hardly walk for a few days afterwards.
So, yeah, I reckon a sub five-minute mile (for a non-running type person) would be damn difficult, yeah. 🙂
Hmmm... so you're saying I shouldn't even try? I've done a tad over 6 mins with no training.
I might have to have a run with the super-fit iron man at work and see if he thinks he can train me up for it.
You can try it if you want - I wouldn't suggest to you what you should or shouldn't do TSY 😛
I think my legs would fall off if I tried to do a sub-5.

Me too...it's what blows me away about HM runners that run 13 miles in around 70 minutes.
Day before my crash, I weighed in at 80.5 Kg, diet is very easy to go with these days.
Doesn't even feel like I'm trying anymore.
Now the hard part is to avoid weight gain while I'm laid injured, but recovering.
I can still walk, perhaps even get onto a cycling machine in the gym.
But I still have a lot of upper back pain and swollen muscles in the neck and shoulders.
Challenge now is to also get my intake correct with respect to giving the body what it needs to effect repairs.
Where/how did you crash Solo? I don't recall you describing what happened...unless you did on the [i]other[/i] forum.
I'm easily led though darcy... and you've somewhat crushed my youthful enthusiasm.
I might just kick back and eat the rest of the Lorraine Pascale chocolate cheesecake I've got from off of the tele the other night.
