Week 24

 

Week 24 Round Up!!

So you can see by my stats that this week has not been good.

Not sure where my mind went but it wasn't a good place, so I just went with it in the end.

Yes my Cals and Fat are waaaaaay off! but I'm pleased that I logged everything and stayed in some sort of control.

Did I put on weight - yes, but thats ok too. I am now mid way to my final planned goal, Im also happy with how I am now, I feel comfy and able to do things. 

Its a little blip! I have taken this week as a little "holiday" and just enjoyed my meals, to a degree, with no guilt.

What did I learn???

That I don't actually like bread, or my body doesn't anymore.

I don't actually want to eat rice, spuds or pasta - even with it in front of me I chose not to eat it!

That I am disappointed with chocolate! it's not how I remember it, so the odd bit here and there is ok but I can't cope with the quantity that I used too.

That I do miss crunchy things - biscuits, toast, chips, crisps, crackers etc (basically empty carbs!) Now I did over indulge in toast and had a few shortcake biscuits and the odd plate of chips, but I avoided crisps and felt bored by the chips after a few of them..... again, like the chocolate they aren't as my head remembers them, so why bother!

I think I got all my cravings out of the way, and realised that I actually DO enjoy my new way of healthy eating. I don't like the bloated, sick feeling of over indulgence but the odd blow out snack or meal is ok.... this bodes well for the future.

So I'm back on track, starting this am..... my meals are planned for the week, I have juggled and changed a few things, I just need to enjoy prepping again! I think I got tired of that too.... but batch cooking/prepping is my next goal.

I also got rid of some work stress in the last week, things that were hanging over me are now settled.

Life is good and getting better......

Weekly Round Up Week 23

So thoughts on the week.....

A very random week, all over the place at work with covering sickness kind of threw my plans for food and exercise out of the window!

A nice weekend with Skippy but it always revolves around eating, so good and bad, I felt much more in control this weekend but we also went out for lunch AND dinner on the same day, followed by a hotel breakfast - but tbh it wasnt all that and I didnt over indulge.....

Hopefully work is less needy of me this week, not that I really feel up to much with the weather changing to dramatically, the plan to walk to work tonight was cancelled when it started to chuck it down as I left the house!

Still at least my food can be on track, tomo' is a day of batch cooking, so looking forward to that.

Onwards and downwards :)

Week 22

 

Weekly Round Up 21

So trying to get back on track with the eating and exercising post our "off plan" week in York.

Not as easy as first thought, it awoke lots of cravings I didnt know I had! and Im still struggling with them, however I have realised that things just dont taste the same anymore and I feel a bit crud if I dont exercise!

Plus the guilt element is enormous!!

So back to plan this week with some tasty meals. A couple of stand out favs have been the chicken/pepper curry which I packed out with kale & BNS instead of the rice.

Another firm fav is the veggie burgers with salad..... Skippy had a Wagu burger but was still eyeing up my dinner!

They are packed full of fibre too so really fill you up!

My love of salad has come back with a vengeance and this week I will be starting to walk to and from work, not just one way! but with the dark nights now closing in I have bought myself a little Hi-Viz backpack cover so I glow in the dark!

My stats this week show my struggle with the bread/carb craving but will be knocking that on the head this week!
