Went in with all intentions of having chicken breast and jacket potato and salad. Ended up with a pile of roast beef, a mountain of roast potato-sized chips, veg and gravy. Then went to Spar on the way home for some cookies, Haribo, chocolate brownies and custard. Think I'd have been better off going on the piss all day. haha! Classic! I managed to stave off the cravings, after 10-12 pints at the match, with some old school whizz!! At my age! Shocking! Worked a treat - didn't eat again until Sunday afternoon.

There's 5 weeks until 1st Jan. And let's face it, those who starts diets in Jan don't really try properly until about the 6/7th when back at work and all the cupboards have been raided. So in theory, thats another 6 weeks of "not trying" and probably worsening the situation. My opinion would be to crack on now. Don't wait. And hang fire on the mince pies - set yourself a target - none before 20th December. None after 1st January!! Same with chocolates. Crack on with the exercise regime now in between your Xmas parties. Throw in some walks if you are feeling rough. Basically don't sit and fester and expect miracles - they won't happen. Had 4 mornings of Kale, Spinach & Almond Milk smoothies to kick-start the days this week. Its grim, but its a necessity! Had my first crumpet in over 2 weeks this morning. Still not buckled on the biscuits yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try now but I wouldn’t take any drastic measures until the temptations are out of way especially if you’re going to be exercising outside Get it prepped now, Make a plan and start slow and small, small gains long term benefits.

ErnestTurnip Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 The good old NHS health check tells me my liver isn't quite doing as well as it should be so ale needs to get cut right down and so does some weight. Don't even consider myself much of a drinker these days but them units soon add up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend of mine is a quack and she reckons for every alcoholic drink you need three times the amount of water for it not to have a detrimental effect of your organs. Not sure where the fun in that is.

Water is taken for granted so much. To perform at your optimum water is essential. Bollocks to whey protein or creatine or any juice that Karen on Facebook is selling. If you want to be healthy want to lose weight, want to get fit always starts with water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted December 23, 2019 Members Share Posted December 23, 2019 Body needs it to function. Organs need hydration, the brain needs it. Diluted the sugars and fats in your body, helps you break them down a lot easier than any other drink. If you’re thirsty you’re past dehydration and your body then has to work harder. If anyone comes to me for fitness advice first thing I ask, how much water do you drink, and it’s always followed up with it needs increasing.

Water with cordial is better than no water. I suppose beers which are more ales than lager would hydrate you more. Wine is bad for dehydration, spirits with orange juice will hydrate you better than vodka and coke for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 It is important but it's got ridiculous these days with kids having bottles of water with em in every lesson. How much water do marathon runners take in during their efforts? I've run marathons myself and drank very little during them, wouldn't have dreamed of even having any water on a run less than say 16 miles. I'm currently having some water with apple in it in case the doctor is a WW member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what the ingredient or if it’s the sugars or a specific ingredient but there is something that causes dehydration in lager especially. Thats why I drink Guinness and I’m a fine specimen of a man 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Alcohol makes you piss and stops your body absorbing the water and that's why you get dehydrated when you drink. We all have one mate who breaks the seal and goes every 10 minutes after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcohol free beers are good in that regard, as the minerals and good bits from barley etc are there. Couple of times recently I've woken up with a mouth like a bird cage and a headache. Won't do any harm in supping more water still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Any road, upshot is I'll have drop to single digit units for a while to see if that sorts stuff out - either that or ignore it and move to Spain where I think the upper limit is 2.5 times ours.
