Ok.. so today has been my 1st day back on track and I am doing well... Really well actually... I had some healthy cereal with milk for breakfast and then DIDN'T snack in the morning... for lunch I had a yummy Chicken salad with avocado..I just had iceberg lettuce and then a yummy Light salad dressing on top.. so yummy... for my something sweet I had a gorgeous fruit salad of Melon, Strawberries and Kiwi.. I had it straight after my Salad so then NO snacking in between Lunch and Dinner and then for Dinner I am having Prawn Laksa (Waitrose Prawn Laksa Soup A coconut soup with cooked rice noodles, cooked king prawns and spinach) All in all it will come to a grand total of 1256 calories and according to MyFitnessPal I would be weighing in at 180lbs in 5 weeks if everyday was like today. I would take that...
I do actually really feel back in the zone... I know this is going to sound crazy.. but last night I dreamt that I was in the gym and working really hard... it was like I was running off all the crap I have eaten over the last few days..I woke up and felt totally back in the zone... I haven't been to the gym for about 2.5 weeks... and aim to return next week.. I want to get my healthy eating habits back under control and will then hit the running machine...
Also one thing I really have to realise is that in actual fact I have had a 12 day binge...don't get me wrong.. that's not great...and I shouldn't be celebrating anything with food..or eating the way I have been (secretly eating = having 2 or 3 Mars Bars in a row when no one is around) BUT it's been 12 days... and I have just got engaged... and I have been stressing about it... but a couple of months ago that would have been a 2 month binge... and I would have gained 14lbs... I have gained 2lbs... and believe me for what I have been eating I should have put on at least 5lbs+
Anyway.. I have recorded everything on MyFitnessPal and am wearing my FitBit and have checked it a few times... when I go home I am going to have a little dance party to up my steps... Biggy is out tonight so won't look like an idiot...!
Anyway..here I am back and ready to start the next Chapter Book... on Friday it will be exactly 12 months until my wedding... which translates to a 10 month goal to lose 28lbs... any of you quick on maths(!) will realise that's just under 3lbs a month...achievable if I keep my head down and focused...
Congrats on getting back on track!!!! The first few days are the hardest, for me anyway. You can do it!
ReplyDeleteWell done for getting back on track. So tricky to do (as well I know). And also well done for confessing to bingey type behaviour. It's the best way to get it out and address it and, more importantly, stop it.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up chuck!
