As for bananas, yip brilliant unless you have any kidney issues then not so good as potassium and phospherous are bad for kidney function. Poor DH has had to re-think a lot of his diet after a blood test result last week.
Well done with the Gym
Hope DH is OK and it must be so difficult when you have to watch your diet due to heath issues. A lot of people on this thread have health issues for which they have all managed to adapt their diets and still lose weight - I really have no excuse at all.
Ha Ha Diane65. When I was diagnosed as being a coeliac, I weighed 7 st 7lbs. I was 28 at he time and you could count my ribs, no 4 pack for me. The diet excludes gluten usually found in wheat. It was a total shock when I started to put on weight. Got to 9st and thought that's enough but unfortunately I met my OH who is a great cook. I had to break the my habit of eating anything I wanted and not put on the Lbs. The size of meals has dropped but I love my food.
My schedule will be Mon to friday this week
7-8 Exercise before brekie
12-1 Exercise before lunch
4-5 Exercise before tea
Now I shall have to keep to it
What a reward Mr Glass, films. I think it's OK for you to be our Drill Master, after all you've seen the training film
Awesome. exercising before meals are the perfect times....however, am I reading it right, are you planning 3 separate hour sessions of exercises, 5 days a week? Thats 15 hours per week. Perhaps a bit too much unless, those exercise sessions are 10-15mins long plus warm down/cool downs? Believe it or not, There is an elastic limit to how much exercising is effective. There is such a thing as too much exercise. It is also important to give the body time to recover. In fact the fat burning occurs AFTER the exercising. How? Well the body repairs itself after the stresses are applied. And it is this process of repair that the fat fuel is burnt in the next several hours, especially when you sleep at night. Is your therapy exercises a daily prescription? You can exercise twice or thrice in a day, provided it is different muscle groups that are being exercised. So instead of doing a whole body workout in one session, you could split it in two or three. However, you would need to warm up and cool down for each session adding extra time. Just some pointers for you to think about. Otherwise that's awesome determination.
Today is my rest day so my body can reap the benefits of the week's work. Also, I am eating more calories today to ensure the brain does not think the body is going into starvation mode due to the lower calories consumed for the rest of the week.
Its a marvelous fat burning secret. You see when you decrease your calorie intake drastically, after a few days, the brain is alerted to "food shortage" alert. So what happens then, the body preserves the fat storage and uses other means of fuel including muscle fuel and that is VERY BAD. So the trick is, after a few days of low calorie consumption and before the brain sounds an alert, we tell it "hey, look there's lots of food, we cool dude, lets keep using the fat storage fuel" by eating more calories for one day. Then can restart the low calorie consumption for the next few days. Its brilliant and it worked for me which I learnt from health fitness experts that I used on my own fat loss journey and on my Health and Fitness qualification course.
Although, its my rest/comfort eating day, I am going to do a ten minute abs workout because I didnt do enough in that area during the week but it wont affect the recovery period of the rest of my body. SO should be ok.
Have a great weekend guys.
Diane, lol...ok, bumps = history, you said it, so it shall be done, right? Your new mantra :)

Feeling more positive and now back to my original goal weight. Think my body is happy there, just need to make that weight more toned muscle than chub lol. Have a great weekend everyone, off to Asda to check labels for phospherous and potassium for DH.
My DD and I have signed up for Race for Life again in May too, going to try to jog most of it this time, rather than power walk.....
40mins is the time to beat!!!
Go Moggers Go! I'd like to see you jog that Race for Life. Please give us a a charity fundraising link, I'd like to donate :)
As you have said Baty is a shining example as to how you can overcome having an injury and a gluten free diet and still achieve your goals 
Not a good look plus I have just received my Boden catalogue this morning and it is fitted clothes for this summer so those lumps and bumps need to be history.
