No more trying to rush weight loss (I just end up falling off the wagon), no more counting (it drives me insane and I fall of the wagon), no more daily weighing (it makes me depressed and I fall off the wagon)...are you seeing a theme here???
I've finally got to a point where I'm happy with my exercise - I need to do more strength work but as I'm tapering for a marathon in 17 days, I'll have to wait until after.
But, I've still got 14-28 lbs to lose before I'm at my goal weight and I've stayed the same for months because I keep dieting, then bingeing. I reckon, if I can just stop bingeing, the weight would come off, slowly, but at least it would come off!
So today's day one. Here's how it went...
Breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled with 1/2 courgette, 1/2 red pepper, a little smoked salmon on one slice whole wheat toast
Lunch - salad Nicoise, 9bar
Snack - grapes, crudités, 30g cheese
Tea - homemade spaghetti bolognese with v small portion of pasta and loads of meat & veg sauce. 1/2 banana, handful almonds, 25g dark chocolate
Drinks: 3 coffees with splash of milk, 1.5 litres water.
Exercise: none - rest day
Water: at least 1.5 litres
Exercise: rest day
Slightly tempted to overindulge this evening but I know it's because I'm just getting back on track after a bad day yesterday.
