Journey to a new me Calorie counting

[welshchick01]

After many years of yo yo dieting I am currently the heaviest I have ever been. When I stood on the scales and they stared back at me saying 18st 11lbs I was devastated, but it has really given me the shock I needed to start the journey to a brand new me. I have tried a lot of diets in the past and they seem to work for a while but never seem to last so this time I am going to follow a healthy calorie controlled diet. Also I hope this diary will keep me on track as I will update my meals and weekly weigh ins to keep my motivation going. I am off to Ibiza on 05/10/2015 so this is my goal date fingers crossed xx

Thought I would try to start adding in some exercise this week but I am so unfit at the moment it is unbelievable!!! Thought I would try and start walking to work instead of getting the bus (bearing in mind it is uphill all the way). Took me 25 minutes and was a very bright beetroot colour by the time I got to work but my god am I glad I did it, felt so much better in myself for the rest of the day and I know the more I do it the easier it will get. Food still going well and no real cravings yet to speak of

Yesterday
Breakfast: Boiled egg on toast
Lunch: Tuna salad
Snack: Apple and orange
Dinner Oven fish with brocolli and carrots

Today
Breakfast: Boiled egg on toast
Snack: Go Ahead bar
Lunch Boiled egg and salad
Snack: Apple
Dinner wholemeal pasta with homemade tomato sauce

Welcome welshy - good looking menu. My minis BFF waffle started at 18stone 12 and she's now in the 14s! It doesn't look like all that many calories if you don't mind me saying - how many is it approx?
