I've noticed of late that I seem to have stopped writing in my journal unless I have something negative to say about what I could be doing better or what I haven't done right. It's time to get back to focusing on the the things I'm doing right and use that as a motivational springboard to remind me to stay focused.
So...
Glad to get back to they gym this week, it's incredible how quickly fitness can slip backwards when you neglect it, even for a few days! This is no doubt enhanced by the fact I'm not actually that fit yet! I'm going to keep this experience in mind when I think about skipping the gym...do I want to set my fitness back a week? No. Then move it!
I've improved on the spread of calories through the day as well, getting back into the habit of 'grazing'. Snacking on fruit, veg, soups etc between my main meals, keeping a nice steady flow of calories to fuel myself through the day. Evening meals are back to, or well on the way to being much smaller, lighter affairs.
I dished up my other halfs dinner the other day and could not belive how HUGE it looked (was!). Incredible to think I'd have eaten that without actually being that hungry pretty much for the sake of it.
I'm not quite settled on what is the right number of calories for me to be eating just yet. I have decided to zig-zag between 1400-1600 as not sure if sticking ridgedly to 1400 might be a bit low and 1600 a bit high. I should proably just roll with 1500, but I like the freedom of a bigger range and it's a more 'true to life' way of eating.
Hoping to see some positive movement on the scales this Saturday. I've undoubtably worked much harder than last week and been much more mindful of what I'm doing with regards to food and exercise.
Dad is so pleased for me that I'm getting fitter and healthier. Being able to tell him each week how much I have lost is a great motivator and something I can think about when I consider reaching for the takeaway menu!
