Day 7 - even when I feel ill I exercised!!

I started today well, squares bar - some nuts and seeds, mixed veg, poppy seed crackers, cherry fruit corner, 2 potato cakes, pasta and homemade tomato sauce and finally a rocket lolly! I exercised for 30 minutes. I have felt very sick since yesterday! Bad times in seed :( 

Day 6 - this is becoming a habit...

Today has been very strange, for the first time in a long time I made food and didn't eat it. I am shocked. I had a square bar, 2 rice cakes, peppers, carrots and mooni with a terayaki sauce pot, 2 potato cakes and some cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage with asparagus. Not a lot, slightly strange but I felt sick and I was full. The Paul McKenna DVD was working and I definitely feel sort of different. I have been a grumpy monkey today unfortunately. I have done 20 minutes exercise (I know not enough but at least it's something). I am punishing my self watching the Hairy Biker's Dairy programme. Not a diet programme but also with a lactose intolerance I ignore, probably not a great idea. But I love it and them. Got two new recipe books - is saddening all veggie cookbooks are inherently the same - makes me sad inside :(

Day 5 - oh no

Saturday is the devil. I ate a squares bar, soup with crackers and a vegetable burrito with some tortilla chips. Oh and I hate 30g of nuts!  Here's a picture 

Day 4 - I feel a little motivated

So I am currently cycling at 11pm at night. I think it may be actually getting into this routine a little. I am barely recycling if I'm honest. My bum really hurts. Today I ate a banana, 2 apple and cinnamon cookies. 2 pieces of slimming world quiche with cherry tomatoes. Tea was pasta with tomato sauce with asparagus, broccoli and sweet corn. I am pretty tired!! I don't think I'll be exercising tomorrow as I'm working hence the late night work. Made a mistake of weighing myself, I must be gaining muscle have put on 3lbs. Bad times :(

Day 3

So I was watching TV today whilst cycling today. Did an entire hour but have definitely bruised my bum!!! So food for today - Kellogg's square, two pieces of quiche, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes for lunch. Snack of yoghurt crunch by kp (30g)  healthy minestrone soup, new potatoes, carrot, pack of poppy seed biscuits and 2 dark chocolate rice cakes. So I am very tired and a little hungry. I definitely eat too fast and I need to combat that. My resolve is strong though, I will lose a few pounds and get fitter! I will get over the bruised bum :(

Day 2

So I'm sat here, sweating a bit too much because I'm obviously overweight and have done 45 minutes on the bike. Today I have eaten Kellogg square bar, 2 pieces of quiche with potato, asparagus and spinach. Then tomato and basil soup with poppy seed biscuits with steamed vegetables! Then i had a pack of snack a jacks and a rocket lolly. So healthy is good, except I am still so very hungry. I'm watching my lovely James do exercise on the bike because after 4 years of dating, we got comfortable. So we are both trying to give up sugar and exercise. I also have a Paul McKenna book about emotional eating. We shall see what happens :) my legs are really aching though. More exercise tomorrow.....

Day 1 - New exercise regime

So today was the first day of my new health regime - yes I wouldn't hold your breath but fingers crossed!! So my legs feel like jelly after I did 53 minutes on the exercise bike, I feel like this was a mistake, I don't want to think about my legs in the morning. I was a sweat monster - totally ridiculous!!! So I had some nuts and seeds, veggie sushi, beet root crisps, butternut squash, asparagus and broccoli with new potatoes. Then a quiche with mushrooms and slow roasted tomatoes. So, healthy food and exercise. Unfortunately I weigh 12st 10 pounds at 5ft 7 inch I am overweight. I am 32 and if I don't sort it now I'll always be bigger. What has sparked this new weight loss battle? My best friend's wedding when all the pictures were being taken I felt like the fat friend. I know I'm not massive-don't get me wrong I'm not saying I'm horrific but it's a slippery slope. I love food but I am unhealthy and I know that I'm not doing myself any favours. I need to lose at least a stone to get myself in the high end of my bmi. So I need to do this for my self esteem and for my relationships. I feel fat and ugly so I become a hermit and sweat about the small stuff. Oh to be a size 12 again....I'm a high end size 16 unfortunately :( happy, healthy and trying to be the best me I can be. Picture below is day 1 - not a face I like looking back - hopefully it'll be better if I lose some size. I even made dinner for tomorrow, vegetable frittata with potato and peas!! Roll on healthy dinners.....
