Inspire Me!

[Truds]

Hey hun! Oh we've got tix for all the AB World Cup matches .. can't wait! Will have to meet up!

I'd not worry about doing so much cardio at the mo, as long as you're still dropping bodyfat, otherwise later you'll have nowhere to go. I'm with Poos too, try your calves on another day and slot your arms in somewhere else.

Man, you teachers have soooooooo man holidays! :roll: My hubby is a teacher, and he is forever on holiday! Maybe I should change careers? he he

Are you taking measurements as well? Do your clothes fit differently?

Just be mindful that you *could* be gaining muscle while losing fat so that won't necessarily mean a change in scale weight. Added to the fact that where you are in your cycle, water retention, what time of day you weigh yourself etc etc comes into play as well!

I am a terrible Binge eater - have been for years!! Anyone else have/had this problem??

I've had my weak moments, usually late at night! But these were in the days where I thought I had to eat rabbit food to lose weight. There's lots of issues involved - you have to find out whats triggers the binges. Did you have enough food during the day? Is it related to emotional issues? Were you sad? Angry? The worst is the Guilt you get afterwards... yekk.

[Louise1980]

The worst is the Guilt you get afterwards... yekk.

Tell me about it :shifty:

I think most of my binge eating comes down to boredom, wanting what my other flatmates/Boyf are eating and change of routine. When I am working I have no worries, set times for eating etc but weekends and when I am socialising just totally lose it. Like this Friday I have a BBQ for a going away party so I am totally determined not to binge eat, going to take my own chicken kebabs and drink (diet fizz) and just binge on salad!!

Have taken measurements ages ago so will dig them up and record results. :shock:

Louise :grin:

[Truds]

Hey sweetie,

EFAs are Essential Fatty Acids. Flax seed is fine if that's what you've got (and if you're having nuts/fish etc.) but I think flax seed only has Omega 3. You need some omega 6 and 9 too.

We went down to the NZ Maori match in Northampton on Friday night, didn't make it down to the 7's though. Was a fab match, and Canada got smoked. And as for the haka.. well... :nod:

I tend to binge eat right after a show .. I think its the deprivation of tasty food for so long. I can eat anything and everything in site.. it's crazy! My mind is telling me to eat as much of it as I can 'cos I might not be able to eat it later... :grin:

[Louise1980]
