Phew!
I really should have though about what I had coming before I started this feature a few weeks back.
In the past couple of weeks, we've been on holiday, ate awfully, (as you do when by the sea. Who doesn't love ice-creams, fresh donuts and burgers,) and indulged far too much!
Luckily for me, I only gained a couple of pounds within our weeks away, and since then I've lost double what I had gained.
That puts me currently at 218lbs.
Today, I decided to make a fresh start and put the holiday behind me. I started logging my foods again and also plan on beginning to exercise twice a week. Currently, I have set nights to work out. Those being a Tuesday and a Thursday, so I will let you know how that goes next week. I didn't end up doing anything yesterday as both Liam and I are ill with a crappy cold.
Liam has also decided to start doing this with me, which is awesome. It means we are less likely to influence the other with bad food choices and hopefully we can be each others motivation. We're also going to take our 'before' photos sometime this week. Whether or not I feel totally confident in showing them to you just yet, I don't know.
I think I described myself to Liam as 'feeling lumpy' at the weekend. It's time to get rid of some of the lumpiness.
Starting from next week I will be sharing my food diary from the week previous. So next week you will see what I have eaten from today onwards. I really need to get into the habit of photographing my food and also logging them in myfitnesspal. I find it the easiest way to keep track of what I'm eating, otherwise I end up pigging out and not really being aware of what I've eaten that day.
I know myfitness pal is quite popular, so if you use it too you can follow me here.
I've also decided to start filtering out meat. I'm fully aware of what we have in the freezer right now and I'm not one to waste food, but once that it gone I am going to eat only white meat for a little while, and then totally give up meat all together.
Once all of our white rice/pasta is gone, these will also be replaced with the wholemeal options.
I'm really looking forward to seeing some changes in the next few months, and I've set my goal at a loss of 20lbs by Christmas. At only 2lbs loss a week, I think it's totally doable if I keep my head in the right place.
I'll check in with you guys again next week, hopefully with my first 2lbs down.
Find me on
