Taking steps forward takes you into the unknown! Taking steps back keeps you in your comfort zone! Be adventurous today and step outside your comfort zone - life is an adventure!

Last Week's Weigh-In

OK weighed  myself last Sunday - over 11 stone (150lbs) again and I can't stop eating - so much for losing a stone (14lbs) before Christmas!

I really don't want to go over 12 stone (I have another 12 pounds to go before that happens...) . I HAVE to lose this weight, it's getting ridiculous!  I am undisciplined and I shouldn't be - how difficult is it to follow a menu - open a packet of RC solo slim soup/main meal and stick to eating fruit for power snacks and drinking water? VERY difficult so it seems!

OK let's remind myself again of what I am supposed to be doing
Breakfast - 200 calories (usually eat porridge) (OK that's a coffee mug, but they didn't have porridge)
Power Snack - 50 calories
Lunch - 300 calories
Power Snack - 50 calories
Dinner - 400 calories
Milk - 200 calories

Total - 1200 calories (for the first 2 weeks)

Subsequent weeks:

As above plus
1 high fat treat or 1 alcoholic drink - 100 calories
1 low fat dessert or low fat treat - 100 calories

Total - 1400 calories

Then for my body to metabolise the food better
2 litres of water

Then for my body to burn the calories
30 minutes aerobic exercise 3 times per week
toning as well a few days too!

Does this look difficult to you? NO! It doesn't to me either - but losing weight is harder than anything else (except maybe learning piano...)

OK onward and upward - mustn't get discouraged now... Climbing hill time!

WEIGH-IN!

Stayed the same this week which I don't mind - better than gaining!

Sunday is my day off (although I know some 'experts' don't agree with days off). So starting tomorrow I can focus on eating healthily and exercise fervently...

Keep focused dear reader :)
