Beginning of
Feb, I had well untruly had enough. Six weeks later, I feel like I am getting
back to myself. I am motivated, happy and on a bloody roll.
I stripped
back basics and started my journey all over again. I have lost 8lbs – some
might think ‘That’s not much’ but I am over the moon.
I cook, I
plan and I enjoy it.
Recipe of
the month:
Joe Wicks
Chicken Pie. OHHHH my – absolutely delish!
Tip of the
month:
Have someone
to do it with. Work out with friends, cook nice meals together and share tips!
Diet
of the month:
‘SOOOOO…..DIETING’
I am sure we
can all relate to the words ‘I am going on a diet’
We try the
most ridiculous things, because Sally’s aunties, best friend’s sister lost 2
stone sucking 2 bloody lemons a day.
We think
being on a diet should be punishing and unhappy. IT’S NOT TRUE.
Give
yourself a break!
Set a goal –
a realistic goal, and work one step at a time.
Stop
thinking it’s a diet and make it a lifestyle change - still allow yourself some
of the foods you like, but have them in moderation.
If you want
a choccie bar, then you have one. Just keep it at one! Don’t completely deny
yourself. Restricting yourself will not help you in the long run. You will only
find yourself down aisle 23 in Tesco, loading that basket up with all the £1
sharing bags ready to start your binging mission!!!
Over the
last six weeks, I have got myself back in a good mindset. I can now see what I
had been doing wrong over the last two years.
- - Going on ‘Diets’
- - Not eating enough!
I would think the less I ate, the more weight I would lose.
- -Skipping meals. Not
eating lunch and dinner does not make up for the day before of eating McDonalds
and cake.
- - Spending most the
weekend eating sh*t. Just because it’s the weekend. Then I would feel guilty….
This led into a vicious cycle of munching. You end up sabotaging it,
bingeing and ultimately giving up. Then waiting for Monday to start ready for
your new diet.
- - Not planning my
meals – Now, the evening before, I plan breakfast, lunch & dinner. I even
plan what snacks to pack in my handbag.
- - Exercising my ass
off. Yes exercise is important, but so is eating healthy. I just didn’t have
the right balance.
You live and
learn though ey.
Here’s to
