Hey everyone, have been so tired the last week with extreme fatigue. Been a little more social than usual but I am just so tired, I haven’t even had the energy to type up my blogs although I would have with all good intentions!
The trouble with MS is you literally can lose your energy all of a sudden to the point that you can not keep them open. Then sleep is just all over the place.
So, I will try my best to get up to date with the food blogs as missing Days 13 to 17 at present and my second week weigh in! I didn’t even have the energy to stand and have my measurements done on Friday just gone so I will be doing them every 3 weeks instead of 2.
I know when you go on a healthier route, a lot of people give up at 2 to 3 weeks due to energy drops, I think that is what happening to me at present and as much as I have just done more grabbing and going, I have tried to stay healthy as I can. so haven’t given up. Just hope that I have more energy next week and can get back to normal.
Hey everyone, I have been absolutely knackered the last few days and my MS has been playing up as well which has not helped.
I feel like I have just been grabbing and then eating, still as healthy as I can for my energy levels anyway! I know I will be over my nutritional goals when I calculate it all and put it on hopefully tomorrow! But I am not being down on myself as I know that I need to try and be more prepared so hoping that my body will let me in the next few days or within the week so I can get back to putting up a daily blog.
So, I weighed in and I think it is remarkable what can be done in a week even as someone who is disabled and unable to mobilise at present. If I could have done exercise, I am sure these would have been a lot better but as a lifestyle change for having both Multiple Sclerosis and Polycystic Ovaries, I am pretty chuffed..
Old weights will be in Red and new weights in Green with loss and percentage in Pink! You will see I have a thing for numbers.
5 foot 4 inches
Initial Weight – 19 stone 2 pounds (268 pounds) – Should be: 7 st 12 lbs (110lbs) to 10 stone for height (140lbs) 91.4% to 143.6% Over Recommendations for Height
After 1 Week – 18 stone 10 1/4 pounds (262.25 pounds)
5 3/4 pounds lost (2.2% off initial weight full weight) Now 87.3% to 138.4% off Recommendations which is a loss of 4.1% to 5.2% off what I should be. (Think I will aim small but eventually to 10 stone if I can for height – so 5.2% off – Only 94.8% to go!)
Initial Fat Percentage – 73.9% Fat – Should be: 21.1% to 32.9% – So currently 2 1/4 times to 3 1/2 times over what it should be!
After 1 Week – 72.1%
Lost 1.8% Body Fat Percentage – Now 2 1/5th times to 3 2/5ths over what is should be. Loss of 2.2% to 2.9% of required overall body fat.
Initial Water Percentage 33.1% Water – Should 37% to 49% – So 11.7% to 48% Under Recommendations.
After 1 Week – 33.4%
Added on 0.3% of Water Required. Now 10.7% to 46.7% Under Recommendations (1% to 1.3% nearer to target)
Initial Bone Mass Percentage – 1.8% Bone Mass – Should be 3% to 5% – so 66.6% to 177% under what it should be!
After Week 1 – 1.9%
Added on 0.1% Bone Mass – Now 57.8% to 163.1% Under Recommendations (8.8% to 13.9% nearer to target)
45.7 Body Mass Index – Should be 18.6 to 24.9 for healthy range – So need to get it down by 20.8 to 27.1 to hit healthy range
After Week 1 – 44.7
Down 2.2% off initial BMI and by 1.1 – Now to get it down by 19.7 to 26 to hit the healthy range
23.7% Muscle Mass – Should be around 36% or more for a female – 34.2% off overall requirement
After Week 1 – 24%
Put on 0.3% Muscle Mass – Added on 0.9% overall percentage – Now 33.3% off target range
1964 Calories that are burnt on Basal Metabolic Rate Measurement (meaning how much I burn by doing nothing at all)
After Week 1 – Now 1938 Calories BMR
This means either up the exercise (what I can do – may have to get the Viber machine out that is helps me) to burn the excess 26 calories I have lost on my Basal Metabolic Rate. Or down the calories by 26 (Think I will get the machine out as lifestyle change – not a diet like I have said)
I would say considering the change in lifestyle, the lack of mobility and disability that this is quite a success. How is everyone doing who is on a lifestyle change?

Day 7 Food Blog coming tomorrow morning and the first Weigh-in Results!
So, yesterday was my Day 4 of my Healthy Eating Lifestyle Change. It is getting easier to eat smaller portions although I did find I needed a nap today but that is mainly down to my Multiple Sclerosis. I just get fatigued sometimes but I am pressing on.
Breakfast – Cheese and Tomatoes on Toast plus a cup of Tea
1 1/2 Cheese Leerdeemer Slices, 2 Slices Small Seeded Bread and 80g Plum Tomatoes.
Breakfast Nutrition: 317 calories; 14.7g Fat; 7.2g Saturated Fat; 25g Carbohydrates; 5.9g Sugars; 1.4g Fibre; 17.8g Protein and 1.21g Salt.
Morning Snack – 1 Clementine and Mint White Chocolate
1 Clementine and 25g Hotel Chocolat White Mint Chocolate Slab
This Chocolate is divine! Worth taking the time to enjoy the sweeter stuff. You do really starting enjoying the cleaner flavour of things even after a few days!
Lunch – Pork Roast Dinner
100g Pork with a Tiny Piece of Crackling, 50g Aunt Bessie’s Roast Potatoes, 1 Steamfresh Vegetable Pack and 10g gravy granules made into gravy. Also had a cup of tea.
Lunch Nutrition: 368 calories; 12.1g Fat; 5.7g Saturated Fat; 33.9g Carbohydrates; 9.4g Sugars; 5.4g Fibre; 32.8g Protein and 1.37g Salt.
Afternoon Snack – Home-made Berry Ice-cream
100g Mixed Berries, 2 Tsp of Dandelion Honey, a Squeeze of Lemon Juice and 75g Creme Fraiche
This was my own experiment to see if I could make a more healthy ice-cream – yes, it had lots of sugar in but this is mainly natural sugars from the berries. But will try again tomorrow with just 1 tsp of honey to see if it is sweet enough still.
Evening Meal – Potatoes with Coleslaw and Salad Leaves
Suggested 1750 calories daily – Had 1578 – Happy as not too low and not too high
Suggested 38.8 – 68 grams fat daily – Had 71.6g (over 10.9g or 5.2%) Just a little over.
Suggested 19 grams saturated fat daily – Had 38.6g (over 19.6g or 103%) I can’t master this one – perhaps less processed stuff as I go along!
Suggested 175 to 218.7 grams of carbohydrates daily – Had 157.8 (Under 17.2g or 10.2%)
Suggested 50g Sugars but this is added sugars I think?? So hard to get your head around as so much natural sugar in things like Berries etc. I think I may start calculating natural and added sugar from tomorrow. When I get some extra time, I will start calculating this more. Had 113.3g today which is high. Need to work on this maybe? Anyone know more than me on here, feel free to comment below!
Suggested on Body Weight is around 97.5 grams of protein a day – Had 68.2g (under 41%) – Again, so hard eating lots of protein in my opinion! May have to start having some eggs I think!
Suggested 25 grams a day fibre with a maximum of 70 grams. – Had 18.2 grams so need some more tomorrow!
Suggested 5 grams a day. Had 3.85 grams but was high past 2 days so happy with the lower amount today!
So, need to look at Sugars and up the Fibre tomorrow.
How did everyone else get on today? Feel free to comment below.
So, it is getting easier to eat smaller portions I think and today was the Superbowl so I had a lie-in until 12pm and a later night the night before so I could eat during the Superbowl. I am shocked that I didn’t cave in really except having 1 luxury chocolate and I am impressed as I thought I would which shows me that I am definitely in a better mindset than I have ever been before on doing a lifestyle change. I think this honestly has an impact on whether someone is going to cave in or not.
Breakfast – Beans on Toast (again – might as well use up the tin)
1 piece of small seeded bread with 150g Baked Beans
Breakfast Nutrition: 225 calories; 4g Fat; 1.2g Saturated Fat; 32g Carbohydrates; 10.3g Sugars: 4.4g Fibre; 11.8g Protein and 1.5g Sodium
Morning Snack – Plum Tomatoes with Cheese Triangle and Red Grapes with a Babybel
This is a nice refreshing snack – sweet and savoury and creamy altogether!
80g Plum Tomatoes, 1 Light Cheese Triangle, 1 Light Babybel and 54g of Red Grapes
Lunch – Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff and Wholemeal Rice
Home-made Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff with Wholemeal Rice
Lunch Nutrition: 514 calories; 21.3g Fat; 15.1g Saturated Fat; 40.3g Carbohydrates; 5.4g Sugars: 3.9g Fibre; 36.2g Protein and 5.77g Sodium
This was really nice and got the thumbs up from the other half who said it was very enjoyable! Think I may start doing recipes at some point if I have some interest as I basically adapted a higher calorie version from 2 mushroom stroganoff recipes to create my own. I can probably get the salt and fat content down as well as I play around with this recipe in the near future.
Let me know in comments if anyone is interested! I had a third of this as well so could have had less but it tasted sooo good! While him indoors had two-thirds – if a man likes it, it must be good, that or his just used to my random recipes! I also had this as a lunch meal as it was dinner time for my darling beloved.
Afternoon Snack (Start of Superbowl Talking) – Toast with Honey
2 slices of small seeded bread with 2 tsp of honey and a cup of tea!
Evening Snack – A Lemon Cheesecake Chocolate and Almond Milk Hot Chocolate
1 Hotel Chocolat Lemon Cheesecake Chocolate (Yes, I actually only had 1) and a Hot Chocolate made with 250ml Almond Milk and 15g Hot Chocolate powder. Also had a cup of tea between the evening meal and snack so calories are included.
It was the Superbowl and I had a craving for ice-cream but no, I decided on a luxury chocolate which I literally spent ages eating to savour it! It probably saved about 200 calories compared to a mini tub of ice-cream too!
Day 3’s Total Nutriton
Calories – 1597 (Recommended up to 1750) Yay – On track!
Fat – 54.8 grams (Recommended up to 68g) Yay – On track!
Saturated Fat – 27.3grams (Recommended up to 19g) This one is sooo hard to stay within! So was 8.3 grams over or 43% over.
Carbohydrates – 189.4 grams (Recommended 175 to 204 grams) – Yay – On Track!
Sugars – 71.9 grams (Recommended ) This one was bound to be over with my luxury chocolate but hey ho – it could have been a lot worse!
Fibre – 22.3 grams (Recommended 23g) So more aless spot on!
Protein – 74.5 grams (Recommended 97 grams) Under again, but I thought I had a reasonable amount – is this why people take protein powder?? Will have to eat more ham or something!
Salt – 9.55 grams (Recommended 5 – 7g max) Yes, I know – it is bad – try harder tomorrow!
Quite happy with what I have done for Day 3 – but need to watch out for Salt and Saturated Fats!
I have been thinking today about how to do this blog in a way that is not just inspirational but always will help people who are maybe wanting advice on just one aspect. I am no expert by any means by I am determined and I think that positive thinking can have such a good impact on your life.
I started this blog as I got to the point where I was feeling like I was going on a spiral, starting pigging out, feeling sorry for myself being not able to mobilise, go out alone, having to rely on my boyfriend for a lot of things, not feeling like I have any support or friends where I am. Losing my grip on my thinking and just being down in the dumps all the time and starting a business as I wanted to have something to do that would be a hobby, not for an income and seeing it not take any sales at all in January. That and my spiritual support of the church turning on me and just literally the few people I saw stopped contacting me even the vicar and his wife because I didn’t agree with some of their opinions – mainly, break up with your partner of 9 1/2 years and we basically will only accept you if set a marriage date.
It’s not because we don’t want to be married, its just with family health and my health and things along the way, it hasn’t been as easy as let’s get married as I take my faith very seriously. But enough about that….
I turned so negative and was becoming critical of anything around me, especially myself! I was body shaming myself, telling myself I had no friends as I must be boring and after my university friends stopped communicating with me on a regular basis after I become ill and left the area I was at, it was just another icing on the cake. I could have done more myself as well.People are surely put off when I just am down about stuff all the time.
But, we have the power to choose our thoughts (in a way – not under-condemning mental health at all – after all I have had PTSD myself after suffering sexual abuse in my earlier years) and yes, we may be in a position where we just feel crap about ourselves, not knowing who we are, so how do we get out.
This blog is a honest documentation of my journey in healing the mind, the body and the soul with the hope that others will join me on the journey and it can be a support to them and to myself.
So join me on this journey, yes, it will be hard, yes, there will be down days and good days. But the intention is to explore if some healthier lifestyle will help with physicality, a more positive mindset will aid with a more get up and go jolly outlook and a look into different avenues of spirituality to see if they aid the soul. (Doesn’t mean I am going against my faith)
Join me today, taking responsibility for our downfalls, our pitfalls and turning them on their head – as they say (whoever they are!) Turn that frown upside down!
So, I got up late today as Superbowl is on until 4am here in the UK so I had a later night last night and decided that I will be hungry for Day 3’s food so I changed my schedule to make sure that I could have something to eat during the game. Needs must and all that! I love NFL usually so not just a I only watch the Superbowl girl!
Anyway, onto the food blog…
Breakfast – Beans on Toast
1 Small Piece of Seeded Bread with 150g Baked Beans and a cup of Tea
Breakfast Nutrition: 225 calories; 4g Fat; 1.2g Saturated Fat; 32g Carbohydrates; 10.3g Sugars: 4.4g Fibre; 11.8g Protein and 1.5g Sodium
Morning Snack – Tuna and Coleslaw
1 can of tuna in spring water with 50g reduced fat coleslaw
This is quite nice actually as I love salad cream with tuna usually but having the veg in the coleslaw was quite refreshing.
Lunch – Chicken Satay Sticks with Peanut Butter Dip and a Plate of Salad
5 Small Chicken Satay Sticks heated with 15g of Peanut Butter and a Small Plate of Mixed Salad Leaves
Lunch Nutrition: 284 calories; 19.5g Fat; 4.8g Saturated Fat; 10.7g Carbohydrates; 5.4g Sugars: 2.5g Fibre; 20.6g Protein and 1.56g Sodium
I wish in hindsight that I had one less Satay stick to cut down the amount of fat I had in this meal. I had the taste of salad so the trick with this was to put a fork full of salad in then a chunk off a satay dipped in peanut butter. Made it tolerable!
Afternoon Snack – Prosciutto, Salami and Cheese Slices
2 Leerdammer Cheese Slices, 1 Slice of Prosciutto and 3 slices of Salami
In hindsight, I should have just had 1 cheese slice due to the fat content but I didn’t calculate as I went along – will do that tomorrow for definite!
Evening Meal – Chicken Kiev, Mixed Vegetables, Slice of Seeded Bread and Cheese Triangle
1 Cheese and Ham Chicken Kiev, 1 bag of Steamfresh Vegetables, 1 Small Slice of Seeded Bread and 1 Laughing Cow Reduced Fat Cheese Triangle.
I didn’t think much of the Chicken Kiev and wish I didn’t have such a cheap one that was in the freezer so if I expend my calories on one again, I think better quality is definitely needed!
Evening Snack – Hot Chocolate
Pure Lush!!
One Hot Chocolate made with a 20g Flake and 240ml of Whole Milk
I wanted to give myself I knew I would look forward to and as this a gradual weight loss on a healthier lifestyle. I choose the hot chocolate! It was amazing and I knew I was within my calories. Shame about the fat and sugar though!
So, here are the grand totals for Day 2:
So, I improved on some and didn’t on others. It is hard work trying to suss it all as it is hard to get a perfect balance really. I would hope that over a week though I can hopefully meet some outcomes. If anything, as I said on yesterday’s food blog, it is all a learning curve and if it is making some differences in my health, that is more than an improvement for me to start with! Lifestyle, not diet remember!
Day 1 Total Nutrition – Calories – 1574; Fat – 77.9g (Saturated Fats – 28.6g); Carbohydrates – 106.4g (Of Sugars – 48.9g); Fibre -12.9g; Protein – 87.7g and Sodium – 7.98g
So, where did I go wrong? These figures are based on doing a 1750 calorie allowance a day…
Suggested 1750 calories daily – Had 1574 – Under But that won’t do me any harm as I still felt satisfied. (And tomorrow is Superbowl – so yeah! Fingers crossed!)
Suggested 38.8 – 68 grams fat daily – Had 77.9g (over 9.9g or 12.7%) Better than yesterday by 3.3% over. Still a lot better than I can imagine happened prior to this!
Suggested 19 grams saturated fat daily – Had 28.6g (over 9.6g or 50%) his is a hard one to master as they is so much of this stuff but still better than yesterday!
Sugars are recommended as 50 grams a day but this is added sugar and fruit and veg has so much natural of it in. But I did manage to stay in this today with 48.9 grams! Even with the treat of the Hot Chocolate!
Suggested 175 to 218.7 grams of carbohydrates daily – Had 106.4 – so under today but this is still an okay number – under 100 carbs can make you go into ketosis so this is okay.
Suggested on Body Weight is around 97.5 grams of protein a day – Had 87.7g (under 11%) – I felt like I had quite a bit today! Suppose proper chicken would have helped opposed to processed stuff in the Kiev and Satay Sticks!
Suggested 25 grams a day fibre with maximum 70 grams. Had 12.9 grams today so quite under.
Suggested 5 grams a day to 7 grams. Had 7.98 grams so over! Whoops – the protein, I blame the protein. No, I will have to look at this.
So, some high and lows for today. Aims for day 3, up the fibre and down the fats again!
How did everyone else get on today? Feel free to comment below.
Food Blog for Day 2 will be uploaded at some point between the breaks whilst watching Superbowl! I love NFL although my team isn’t in it this year!
So, I had to change my sleeping and eating patterns today so I could watch this as I’m usually heading to bed soon but this takes priority! So had a huge lay in today.
Now on Snack 2 of the day to keep me awake for the Superbowl – Honey on Toast….
