So, I did have a diary before but I think it's best to start from scratch.
So, I'll introduce myself. My name is Laura, my main reason for losing weight is because I'm a bridesmaid in October and I want to lose a couple of pounds so that the dress zips up a little easier! I'm a third year university student, studying History with English. Now that I have very nearly finished my dissertation, I feel that I can concentrate on my diet once again.
I have done calorie counting in the past. I know it works if I don't lie to myself! This thread will hopefully become not just my weight loss diary, but my food diary.
So, today is Day 1. My Calorie Target = 1450.
Breakfast: Four slices of nimble toast, spread and some marmite.
Lunch: Home made butternut squash and sweet potato soup, watered down a little because it's really thick! Two slices of nimble toast and some cheese.
Snack: Maltesers mini bunny. YUM. Small clementine. Muller Light Greek style yogurt lemon flavour.
Dinner: Smoked haddock, leek and cheese sauce fishcake, broccoli, cauliflower, pan fried new potatoes with bacon (done with butter flavour fry-light).
Snack: Alpen light chocolate cereal bar. Options hot chocolate with a splash of milk.
Calories: 1,418
Dinner was by my own admission, lovely! I do wish I had some nicer looking plates though!
Tomorrow I plan on getting back inside the gym. That is another thing that has not gone to plan recently!
