Emmmmm!!!

Went in for a coffee 3 weeks ago and they had a "Yesterday's Bake 1/2 price"

I justified a slice of pavalova as pavalova = eggs = breakfast.

Well myself and my OH are trying to cut out chocolate, biscuits and cakes until mid-November anyway, and possibly kicking the drink for November...

At the risk of making this too tough, I reckon you need to be banned from sugar free fizz too. Aspartame is bad too!

I'm in for crisps. I'll polish off a 6 pack in a single sitting. Recently ate 12 bags in one day (Hula Hoop multi pack with some Chicattees, Wheelies and Snax). Those big bags of Gluten Free crisps (O'Donnells, Tayto and Keoghs) don't last 10mins either.

Oryx

^^^^my soulmate.

Did we nail down exactly how the penalty system works? And I may need someone to quantify kcals as approximate handfuls when it comes to crisps.

OK folks: good luck and be honest. You are doing this for the right reasons so confess if you had a weak moment and gave in.

Caz just made tea and opened a box of maltesers

I don't know what maltesers are, but keep telling yourself that they'll look better on her than they will on you!

They are small honeycomb balls coated in chocolate that melt when you eat them. A fun game is seeing how many you can fit in your mouth at one time*

The penalty system


Circuits option

Per 100 calories (or part thereof) over your 500 allowance

1st offence
20 reps of the following exercises
Lunges
Squat jumps
Burpees
Press ups
Chin ups or Tricep dips

So 275 cals over = 3 sets of 20

2nd offence = 1 set of 30 reps per 100 cal over or part thereof
3rd offence = 1 set of 40 per 100 etc
4th = 1 set of 50 etc...

Or

Bike torture (Turbo only)

Per 100 cal over or part thereof

1st offence
Your own warm up
3x 30 sec Max gearing 120rpm & 10 squat jumps. So you burst straight into 120spm or as fast as you can spin your 53/12 or 50/11. Get off and do 10 squat jumps Immediately. Back on for another Max burst etc...
Your own cool down

2nd offence = 4x40sec Max & 15 squat jumps
3rd offence = 5x50sec & 20 squat jumps
4th = 6x60sec & 25 etc...

So 275 cal over = 3x 3x30sec Max & 10 squat jumps or 9 total 30 Max efforts and 90 squat jumps. A 3rd offense of 700 cals of gluttony = 35 total 50sec sprints & 700 squat jumps

Caveat- advisable not to do squat jumps in bike shoes!!

Or

Run torture
Minimum 15 min or 3km warm up

Per 100 cal over or part thereof

1st offence
Find a hill that takes a minute to run up at pace
3xhill & 10 squat jumps, jog down recovery, straight into next rep
Your own cool down

2nd offence 4xhill &15 squat jumps
3rd offence 5xhill & 20
4th offence 6xhill & 25..etc...

Example a second offence penance on a 490 cal indulgence
= 20 hills total and 300 squat jumps!

General rules
Whether you opt for circuits, bike or running, there is no rest. You hurt, that's it!
If you do circuits on 1st offence you cannot do bike 1 or run 1 on 2nd offernse

If you offend more than 4 times then you have endured pure torture alreasdy and are either a sadist or a cheat (cause you didn't pay the price)

These are the punishments. You can always wimp out now or after your first gorge, it doesn't matter. You are only kidding yourself.

Remember, before you take a bite/sip. You must pay for it in sweat and maybe tears.

Call it cleansing

In the desk is dangerous. 142 cals would leave you with a balance of 358 until Nov 19

Chocolate chip muffin sitting in front of me. No danger though, cravings have not kicked in. I'm guzzling pints of water and eating a few nuts or grapes when I pass through the kitchen.

Oryx

Day one of no crisps or chocolate. I survived without resorting to duct taping my mouth. But it was close.

MojoMaker

My day was going well, keeping it on a flatline all day, headed out for 90 mins on the bike in the pitch dark in the Phoenix park and somewhere along the trip developed a massive craving for nachos and wine so duly dropped into Dunnes for a last minute smash 'n grab and got my fix: 1 x KP chilli nachos, 1 x Montepulciano 750ml, 1 x Cadbury Dairy Milk 200g, 1 x Wine Gums 130g. 2600 kcals. I'm ready for my punishment - where's the whip??

I'm not in this challenge because of nights like this every 3 weeks or so.

Nurofen first thing in the morning and 3K in the pool will banish the memories

That kind of a blowout would have you doing circuits non stop for a week. Youre in another league altogether.

Day one or day two?? I think this is day two, isn't it??

No matter....all good in the land of Dory. Not even a second look at the rather large Cadbury Milk Chocolate bars I've got begging to be opened and enjoyed. 29 more days, my darlings....29 more days.

Gave them away to the lads to avoid temptation. Successful on the cans of coke front so far too!!

I've had to add jellies to my vice list as I went to dunnes at lunch on Monday and thought to myself ''I can't get chocolate I'll go get a gigantic bag of jellies instead''

No RQ. No. :rolleyes:

rainbow kirby

There is a giant bag of chocolate at the end of my row of desks in work at the moment, we have someone over from Canada at the moment who came bearing gifts. It would be so easy to go and dip in... Be strong kirby, be strong...

I know some of you are really struggling with cravings, so I thought I would leave this here:
