Worried, worried, worried.. again.

After last weeks not great loss I decided this week I'm really going to try hard. Ive been excercising every day, yesterday I started W3R1 and managed 2.5 miles and then walked the dog for 5 miles, today I walked 5 miles again with the dog and went to clubsercise with a friend. Was just wondering if anyone has any tips for strength exercises? I also do a fitness dvd every second day (the belly blitz) to help try tone me. I really want to shift the pounds and I'm trying super hard. Another problem is I go back to work on Thursday after 8 weeks off with a broken wrist and I'm worried about my diet. We're supposed to use the canteen at work but we can take our own and I'm concerned on how I'm going to keep it up. Some days I work long days so I'm at work for breakfast, lunch and dinner and that means taking all 3 meals, any recommendations on how best to do this?

Im stressing like mad that it'll suffer. Im such a worrier.

Hi Gem21,

Have a look at this previous thread about Strength training, as there are some good suggestions from the responders there:

The NHS podcasts will be helpful.  Gonti  mentioned those in her reply.  Strength and flex is their name I think...!  

Good luck!

Have a great week.

Lowcal :-)

Planning planning planning! You have done really well so know all the tricks, just take some time to plan work time food, 😕 Is the canteen really so bad? Could you supplement with fruit/salad? There will be a solution, have faith in yourself that you can find it! Good luck 😊

Hi Gem

You are really making an effort!  You might be worrying too much but it might also just be that you have to rethink a lot of details at the moment and you do need to think  all that through. If you embrace that notion you might for a minute feel a bit less stressed. 

I often have to carry out breakfast and lunch.  Sometimes annoying to get it ready but the food tastes so much better than anything you can buy.  It is now a habit and I tend to get things ready while coffee is brewing  in the morning. Max ten minutes.

There are some great threads on this site for quick  healthy lunches and breakfasts.  Buy some nice tupperware with the money you save. Take in a thermos of really high quality coffee or tea. 

Heres the link to the NHS strength and flexibility podcasts Lowcal mentioned
