I love fruit and veg. ;)
Now that the novelty of dieting and exercising has worn off a bit, I find myself not being 100% - more like 1%! - and my old habits are slowly creeping back. :break_diet: However, I haven't gained so much that it's showing on my scales so I think this will be a good time to get back on the wagon to prevent gain!
I've been lurking on Minimins for a few days now and I have really become motivated to get back into my routine of eating healthily and exercising. By reading people's diaries, it has gave me such a boost to do a more strict healthy kick-in. So I am starting a food/ramble/exercise diary... I love rambling!
I'm Charlotte. :wavey: I've gradually put on weight throughout the years due to puberty and also eating so badly. I can remember earlier in the year I was having a Chinese takeaway every friday and eating A LOT of unhealthy foods on a daily basis. I did 'exercise', but put minimal effort in and just spoilt it by eating terribly.
I had no idea on portion sizes and the nurtitional info meant nothing to me, I had no idea what I was doing to my body and just couldn't be arsed to change.
On the 24th of March, I decided to do something about it or I tried too. I took a few photos of myself in underwear to put as a "BEFORE" photo and found myself disgusted. I attempted a workout DVD a few times a week but I still ate terribly and didn't feel motivated enough to carry on. It wasn't until the 10th of May that I started to go to gym and watch my eating habits more cautiously.
In April, I weighed 9 stone 12 lbs. Now, as of 14/08/11, I weigh 8 stone 7 lbs. I haven't seen any progress within the last few weeks as I am off and it's summer, but that's no excuse really! I wasn't obese but I was definitely not healthly, inside and out..
I don't have a goal weight.. my goal is to see the differences.
So why am I wanting to do this?
I want to be able to see a healthy woman in the mirror, I want to feel and be confident... I want to be able to go to clothes shops and buy nice clothing. I want to feel good. I don't want to spend the rest of my life hiding away from the mirror.
Starting tomorrow ( I thought Monday seemed a good day ) I will post daily of what I am eating and what exercise I am doing
Also will be saying how I'm feeling, always makes me feel better to blurt everything out. Feel free to post and I love reading diaries.
