Good evening. I thought it was about time that I kept a diary, an honest and frank one about my food, exercise and lifestyle changing journey.
Right, a wee bit about me. I understand that you might not want/need to know all of this but tough!
I started my weight loss journey at the end of April this year and am still on it. This in itself is an achievement. I can't remember the last time that I attempted to lose weight and actually stuck to it for more than about 3 days (Chocolate or wine always gets in the way) Anyways, so far I have lost 16lbs, which averages at just over a lb a week so I won't beat myself up about it at the moment. As my marvelous little ticker tells me, I still have 45lbs to go
So actually about me; 24 years old, 5ft 3 inches (ridiculously short to weigh in at nearly 14 stone on my first night, mind you I can't REALLY blame my height, I think it was the chocolate consumption). I own and run an Independent pharmacy on a wee island off the coast of Scotland, it commands about 70 hours a week of my time. I also have two cats, a puppy and a partner/bf who all like to have every other spare minute that I have. In between these two, I like to exercise and sleep. It's not exactly the most exciting existence but I wouldn't change it for the world.
Oh and as far as SW goes, I'm always EE days and go to a weekly class :flirt2:
Anywho, the main reason that I have decided to start writing this, is that I'm feeling decidedly crappy (not sick, just fed up :wave_cry today. I've always been told that writing is therapeutic and who better to write to than people who are currently complete strangers.
My food consumption/devouring stands at
Breakfast- banana, strawberries, muller light yogurt
Lunch- turkey steak with bbq seasoning, steamed broccoli and carrots, small jacket potato
Dinner- smash pizza, cherry tomatoes, red pepper, spring onion, button mushrooms, lean bacon and rf cheese(hexa)
Snacks- options hot choc (2 syns)
fibre plus bars x 2 (hexb and 6 syns)
I also did 45minutes of Zumba dvd this morning before work. I have come to the conclusion that I look and sound like a fairy elephant when doing this, so I just keep the curtains closed so that I'm the only one that knows lol.
So as I said feeling crappy BUT and it's a massive BUT (almost the size of my own), I haven't touched the box of wine in my fridge or the massive bag of bf's choccies.
So hopefully tomorrow's entry will be cheerier, until then, hope anyone reading has a lovely Friday night Cat xx
