Here i am going to pop down week by week leading to my holiday how i did working towards my targets
Now, before anyone starts the "thats not enough food" bla bla bla.
i am aware of that, i am also aware this is a non sustainable quick fix before my holiday, to give me the confidence to walk around not carrying my massive handbag in front of my tummy, or wearing a jumper in the blazing heat.
i have consulted my gym instructor, a nurtitionalist and called my doctors before setting these goals.
i am also more than aware that once i get back from Florida, i will have gained weight and will have to re look at all of this again, in a "change for life" type way.
So off the soap box you get please ... i know the risks and the consequences etc.
lf you've nothing nice to say, leave me to it and dont read this section.
rant and explanation over! lol

Tuesday 7th August – Tuesday 14th August
TARGETS PER WEEK:
Calories: 4900
Excercise: 240 mins
Ifit: 70 mins
Carbs: lower
How have i done?
Well...ehem....
Not great!
Here is an HONEST account of last week’s intake and work out time:
Calorie intake was so up and down it was like a yoyo on a super powered spring!
I do a lot better is seems without Gareth about, cost hats when I relax, and my god that man can eat! It’s all beer and pub food L
My weekly intake was 6437 – over eat of 1537!
Daily that averages out at 919.5 cals per day – over eat of 219.5 calories – not good
Exercise was a little better, but I have noticed that if Gareth goes home to his mums to eat pie and sit up all night on the computer, he will not turn up for the early gym session
My weekly time was 380 cardio (only counting actual gym time and brisk walking) – so 140mins over – wicked!
Ifit my weekly time was 190 mins – blasted out of the water by 120mins!!! Go me!
Carbs – my weekly intake was terrible L waaaay too high, too much booze and junk – I have to cut that down, looking at maybe 140g per week?
Time off – not bad at all J only really Sunday off
Booze – let’s not go there L
Let’s see how this week goes! So far so good J
I’ll pop the details down Tuesday 21st
Week 2 – 5 Weeks Until Holiday
Tuesday 14th August – Tuesday 21st August
Terrible week! Really really bad
TARGETS PER WEEK:
Calories: 4900
Excercise: 240 mins
Ifit: 70 mins
Carbs: lower
I’m getting worse, I really need to sort myself out, 5 weeks today remaining (yes yes I got over excited and thought I was a week closer to Florida
The figures:
Cals – my weekly intake was 7593, that’s an average of 1084 per day, sooooooo not good – that’s a weekly over eat of 2693! Wow, that’s like 3 extra days L per I over ate by an average of 384 calories.
Carbs – my weekly intake was 708, that’s an average of 101 per day, again , terrible! I need to start aiming for 20g and under a day, so target set for that is now 140g per week
Exercise – my weekly amount was 415 minutes, that an average of 59minutes per day –target hit.
Ifit – 110 minutes, that an average of 15mins a day, target hit - I’d like to up my target to 20mins per day, a weekly total goal of 140mins per week.
Booze – again,, this seems to be my issue, I have no self control
I need to sort myself out and really get on this wagon!

Calories: 4200
Excercise: 300 mins
Ifit: 100 mins
Carbs: 140g
This week has been terrible!
Bank holiday weekend, which is always hard, and a complete blow out with a girls weekend away.
This week was a complete write off!
Various factors here – early shift at work, as the gym doesn’t open until 6am, I had real trouble getting my time in, then I missed days due to being away, and on top of that the gym was closed for the bank holiday. On top of that there was severe binge drinking, munching etc from a girly weekend away.
Usually I would not put myself through writing all this down, but thought I’d have a look see.
Needless to say I feel sick to my stomach!
The figures:
Cals – my weekly intake was 11063, that’s an average of 1580 per day ruined by a weekend of binge drinking and unhealthy munching, usually I’d avoid putting these cals down, but I thought it would be interesting to see, what it actually was, was horrifying! – that’s a weekly over eat of 6863!
Carbs – my weekly intake was an astronomical 1198, that’s an average of 171 per day, shocking.
Exercise – my weekly amount was 262 minutes, that’s 38mins out for the week (7.6mins per day) this was expected due to early shift at work making my time shorter, time away and the gym being shut bank holiday Monday.
Ifit – 80 minutes, that an average of 11mins a day, again, this was expected due to early shift at work making my time shorter, time away and the gym being shut bank holiday Monday.
Booze – do I really need to comment!? lol
well - back on the horse!!!!
Week 4 – 4 3 Weeks until Holiday
Tuesday 28th August – Tuesday 4th September
TARGETS PER WEEK:

Calories: 4200
Excercise: 300 mins
Ifit: 100 mins
Carbs: 140g
Not a shocking week really, I am over cals, and waaaay over carb goal, but still under the daily recommended amount, and the exercise I think I will be pleased with. There was also a night out in there, but I drank only spirits and slim line mixers, and did go for at least an ifit session as often as I was able.
I did skip the gym Sunday dye to a nasty hangover, but hey, I still did ifit!
So let’s do some looking back and see how I did!
The figures:
Cals – my weekly intake was 6075, that’s an average of 867 per day. That’s over target by 1875, so that is 3 days over the top, but I do think I burned that off this week.
Carbs – my weekly intake was 449, that’s an average of 64 per day, again too high by a good lot. Over my target by 309 for the week.
I’m finding cutting carbs, cals and upping exercise quite hard to be honest, but let’s see how I go. I’m not gutted by this to be honest.
Exercise – my weekly amount was 549 minutes, that’s 249mins over for the week – I am very happy with this.
Ifit – 130 minutes, that an average of 18mins a day, again, I am happy with this.
Booze – other than the night out, not a great deal.
Over all not a bad week really.
Cals and Carbs need to drop, and booze needs to go down.
Let’s see how this week goes!
Tuesday 4th September – Tuesday 11th September
TARGETS PER WEEK:
Calories: 4200
Excercise: 300 mins
Ifit: 100 mins
Carbs: 140g
Terrible week this week.
Before I even analyse it. Cals, carbs, exercise – the lot!
Seems I am having more off days than on at the moment.
Why cant I get a handle on this!?
The Figures:
Cals – my weekly intake was 5677, that’s an average of 811 per day. That’s over target by 1477, so that is 2.5 days over the top, I just can’t seem to stop troffing, and it’s starting to make me feel so disappointed in myself, surely it can’t be that hard to control myself!?
Carbs – my weekly intake was 347, that’s an average of 49.5 per day, that a massive 207g over! I have eaten almost an extra 11 days worth of carbohydrates! Pizza piggy!!!!!
maybe though carbs with this level of excercise is a little low. i will review amount.
I’m struggling, but don’t understand why I can’t get a grip and get some control, I am feeling a wave of self loathing brought on by this.
My targets are nothing I have not hit and smashed before – what is wrong with me!?
Exercise – my weekly amount was 431 minutes, an average of 61.5 mins per day - that’s 131mins over for the week, nowhere near as good as last week, this really needs to change.
Ifit – 130 minutes, that an average of 18mins a day, again, this I can deal with I guess, but it’s not really a big enough silver lining compared to the rest of the week.
Booze –not a great deal. A bottle of wine this week, and 2.5 pints of cider on a night out with a friend. Not good, but better than the amount I was consuming.
over all, I am gutted. This is just not good enough.
MUST DO BETTER!!!!!
Time is running out for holiday, and I need to get into a good habit before I go away.
