To be honest I don't really have much to say on the weight side of things. I feel like I am being good this week and have been focused. I am trying not to look at the scales this week either. I am focusing on the whole "your body is your temple" and it does make me think how much rubbish you put in to your body e.g I work in a office my outgoing calorie level should be pretty minimal as I sit at a desk all day and yet I find I eat quite alot.
Now before you go "oh that's why she doesn't lose weight quickly" I eat healthy stuff. I have a bowl of muesli in the morning with my coffee (normal with milk), then at 10.30-11am I will have a small snack be it an apple or something from my Graze box ( which is all dried fruit/nuts etc and all under 150calories) then lunch at 12 which is normally a soup or salad and maybe with some Melba toast and extra light Philadelphia if I'm feeling peckish and I will finish that with a yogurt and again some fruit. Then at 3.30ish I normally have something to nibble on again be it some more fruit or pistachios or something all in all I probably use about 700/800 calories in the day which leaves me 700/800 for my dinner to come in at my RDI allowance of 1600 calories.
I feel like I am eating way more than I should during the day as my outgoing calories are minimal... but I find myself being hungry. It's weird because since thinking "my body is my temple" it does make me think about what my body NEEDS and not what it WANTS or what I want for that matter! I start to think that I couldn't imagine eating what I used to eat and in the portion sizes as well! It's crazy! Its like I can not imagine at all weighing 18lbs more, I cant imagine what I must have looked like but at the same time I don't think I look very different now from then!
Tonight Biggy and I are going to go and see our new flat which should be ready any day now! Whoop Whoop! I have also started looking into gyms in the area and found quite a good one which is less than a mile away. I have had a look on line and it seems good...the other benefit is that is isn't too expensive. Its £42 a month which is quite reasonable as that is all access all times. It has a swimming pool and sauna etc as well as a good class list, nearly all the classes are free as well which is good as I hate it when you have to pay £60 for a gym and then you have to pay for classes on top of it. I am really looking forward to being able to go again as I used to go to a gym many moons ago and got really into it... then I met Biggy and my time was taken up with other things! I would like to go in the mornings as that way I will still have my evenings free to do things. My plan is to go swimming twice a week and 1 gym session in the morning and maybe 1 or 2 classes during the week depending. One I really want to do is Zumba as I do love it and they have a class at 7.30pm so quite good timing. I am a little nervous about the swimming side of things as will actually have to be in a swimming costume infront of strangers and I am sure people will look BUT I know swimming is so good for you and is so refreshing and I used to be a really good swimmer until I become to body conscious when I was like 14!
Anyway hopefully in 2/3 weeks I can become a fully fledged healthy person. I feel that once I start doing some proper exercise the weight will start really moving as so far I have done some but in bursts and haven't really done it properly because of my living situation. So to lose NEARLY 20lbs from just adjusting what I eat isn't too bad.. by the way I want to say OVER 20lbs by the time we have moved in. I am way off my goal for my birthday....just over a week away so that's a bit of a fail. But Hey ho... the weight is going and as long as it doesn't come back I should be content.
