I weighed myself yesterday and was pleasantly surprised that I had actually lost some weight. I've lost 9lbs since the 7th of May by doing nothing other than working on improving my eating habits and opting for healthier foods.
I now think I should start exercising and so have contacted a family member who is a personal fitness trainer. Having three young children to deal with means that a lot of my time is taken up by them. So, the plan is to go to 121/group sessions at least twice a month and then keep up with doing workouts at home. I'm hoping that an exercise programme can be put together that can work around this and hopefully I stick too.
Since trying to make an effort to lose weight I've been opting for more vegetarian based meals and snacks. Chicken and salmon I eat more for a treat or when I can feel my willpower dwindle and I have the urge to eat complete junk. Cucumber sticks with a little sour cream and chive have become my new favourite night time snack, along with a sliced green apple (tangy ones are the best) with a sprinkle of salt on top.
Yes, I said it. Salted apples. I'm not sure if other people have odd food snack combinations but I would be interested to know. I've always loved since I was a kid, a plate of salted fruit i.e. apples, pears, watermelon, etc. It's not something I've eaten all the time, probably once every couple of months. However, I have had it for the last few nights, so must watch that I don't over do it with my salt intake. I do not use salt for most of my cooking, but will do if making an Indian or Jamaican dish.
I did promise myself that I would not weigh myself until the end of the month but could not resist a weigh in yesterday. Fingers crossed, by the end of the month, I would have lost a nice little amount.
