So I have restarted a diet. This time I'm going all in.
Having moved into my own place, I now have complete control over everything in the kitchen, ensuring I no longer have chocolate, cream crackers or even bread to hand. Of course, when I have visitors, I have to cater for them somehow, so I have bread mixes for when people are staying over, and cereal and such still knocking around too. Just means I have less temptation, and the little temptation that is there is either 1) too much effort to do or 2) not the worst that could happen.
I've outlawed most fizzy drinks in the past few weeks, having a glass as a treat if anything, and have been drinking water (flavoured and plain) or dilute squash. Occasional smoothie too, again as a sort of treat.
So there will be no carbphydrates in terms of processed stuff, and everything else I will try and control much better.
No rice, pasta, bread, cereals or flour based products.
Less potatoes and porridge.
Watch what meats and dairy I eat (dairy being cheese and Greek yoghurt only) to cut down but not go hungry.
As much fruit and veg as I want.
It's like an extreme Slimming World diet; with no "syns" or allowances for "proper" carbohydrates.
My goal is to lose about 17kg by the 6th May 2013. Weighing myself weekly on a Wednesday, as long as I am losing about 1kg - 2kg a week, I will be happy.
If I'm not, decrease the amount of fruit I eat and re-analyse my diet.
I have also joined a gym, which is about 500m up the road from my workplace, meaning I plan to walk to the gym in the morning, then back to work after I've done a workout, then home at the end of the day. It'll be a 3km round trip, which isn't that huge, but it's better than driving everywhere, especially such a short distance.
Fingers crossed I get a good training plan done and I can both reduce my weight and increase my muscle capacity/endurance at the same time :)
