Changing my ways...help!

are those the ~100g breasts both skinless and boneless? my wife bought a 1kg bag from somewhere for me, but they were down from £5.99, so if these from tescos are similar, it will be a big bonus!

Sorry my mistake, was going to reply last night but wanted to double check first. Tesco's sell 2 different kinds of frozen chicken (yes both skinless and boneless ;)) and they always have one of these two in. The Green bag is always BOGOF and I've never seen the Blue bag in stock selling at full price, it's always 50% off.

Green Bag with "Buy One Get One Free" printed on the bag.
2x500g = 1kg @ £3.99

or

Blue Bag (Lakeland) Half price RRP £5.99
750g @ 2.99

Either way it works out at £1 per 250g :)

There's always at least one of these two in, sometimes both. There's zero difference between the quality of chicken in either as far as I can tell and I've been getting about 2kg a week for well over a year now. Bargain and good quality :)
 
The frozen chicken in "that there London" comes in either Tesco basics style 1kg@£2.99 or Tesco Healthy style 1kg@ £3.99.

The basic stuff is pretty rough, the healthy option, once defrosted, is actually better than the "fresh" boobs.

@Mad Rapper, do they have half/full roast chickens? Any chance you could save some in the office fridge or will your ever so honest colleagues nibble at it?

I think they do mate, I take it you're suggesting it would work out cheaper? The light fingered bunch at work ought to be OK as long as I put it in a container with my name on it. It's generally milk and canned/bottled drinks they help themselves to!

Thanks for the suggestion ;)
 
Well I am confused. I just weighed myself and I still weigh 14 Stone 3 lbs. I've stuck rigidly to my diet, haven't eaten any crap at all. My cheat day treat was a small bag of Pick & Mix while at the cinema. In addition to the 10 miles a day of cycling, I've been running 3.5 miles each day at the weekend. I've also got the bus to the station and back one or two days during the week and ran those days also.

I feel that my stomach is smaller when I look in the mirror, but I thought that given my diet is now far healthier then it was I'd have lost more fat.

I am not sure what else to do. The only thing I can think off the top of my head is to cycle to the station without breakfast and drink my oat/protein shake when I get there rather than before I leave the house. Not sure how much of a difference that'll make though.

Help! ;)
 
ignore the scales.

a tape measure and a mirror will tell you a lot more about whether your body is changing or not.

So true. Go by what you look like and how you feel about yourself. Numbers on scales mean nothing.
 
Just a quick update because I've not posted for a few weeks.

My weight has decreased to 14 Stones 2lbs, a loss of 1lb since I last weighed myself 2 weeks ago.

I am still doing cardio exclusively - I've not joined the gym yet, I've had too many financial commitments (one holiday to go on next week and I've just paid for another this week) so hopefully I'll be able to start next month on actually doing some weight training. It's very frustrating, but I don't want to leave myself short.

I had a bad week last week for exercise. I managed a run on the Monday, then nothing else until the Sunday because the gears on my mountain bike were knackered so I had to get the bus to and from the station, and to top it all off it was pouring down every day so I couldn't go running either :(

On the positive side, I have managed to stick strictly to my diet and am finding it very easy! I thought I would struggle a lot more then I have with a lack of sweets and cake, but it's actually been great. I've also managed to increase my running distance from 3.5 to 5 miles which hasn't been too much of a struggle.

My diet looks like this ATM:

0730: 40G Whey, 80G Oats, 500ml semi skimmed milk and a dash of Nesquik & 2 Omega 3 softgels

1030: 40G Whey shake with water, or a Maximuscle MaxMeal bar

1230: Tin of Tuna or 250G Chicken and then 300 - 400G Cous Cous, Pasta or Rice & 2 Omega 3 softgels

1500: 40G Whey shake with water, or a Maximuscle MaxMeal bar

1800: Vegetarian meal prepared by Mrs The Mad Rapper & 2 Omega 3 softgels

So in conclusion, I haven't lost as much fat as I'd of liked, I've not done as much exercise as I'd of liked (although not for want of trying), but I've managed to stick to my diet and haven't lost hope of getting in a gym eventually to lift some weights ;)
