I posted in Healthy Eating, but think this is where i should be!
I've just joined, so thought i would start up a diary and welcome any advice, support etc!
My main goal is to loose around 11lb, shed the 'muffin' top and tone up to feel better, especially with the summer looming! I think i eat fairly healthy but indulge sometimes (meals out, chocolate/cakes and eat big portions). I also need to be more active and exercise as my tummy is my problem area. I have been around 8st6 at my lowest, I went on slimfast as was over 10st and really felt it (im 5ft3). However, i dont really want to be restricted to the shakes as would rather just watch what i'm eating and have 3 regular meals a day.
I've just been out shopping to stock up on healthy things, so i can start properly tomorrow. However, heres how today has gone.
Breakfast-
2 shreaded wheat biscuits topped with strawberries, semi-skimmed milk
small glass of pure OJ
Snack-
Costa coffee latte
aldi benefit choc chip bar
Lunch-
boots shapers moroccan chicken cous cous salad, with a pineapple snack
Packet of walkers star crisp
Snack (was starving when shopping!!)-
choc wafer bar (99 cals)
Dinner-
Homemade turkey fajitas;
cut up turkey into strips, marinated in some garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika & chilli
cooked in some fry light along with some yellow pepper, aubergine, onion and mushrooms
served with 2 WW wraps & salsa, tiny but of sour cream.
Had a fresh salad as a side
Snack-
OH left out some choccie bunny, so had a few little bits!!
Total cals from myfitnesspal - 1443. I'm going to try to aim for 1300 a day.
I think i'll really try to reduce my choc/snack intake! I'm going to make up some sugar free jelly and bought Muller light yogurts & cadburys highlights drinks as my eve treats. Going to take homemade salads to work for lunches, with fruit and maybe a yogurt. Also aim to look at dinners for around 400 cals too. Got in some 1% fat milk for cereal (OH hates skimmed!)
Didnt get to exercise today but have invested in some 10 min workout DVDs, belly buster & toning ones, plus we have the xbox kinect we can use.
