Evening all.
I have just got to the end of day one of my new lifestyle. All in all it has been a great day (not including england being knocked out of the fottie)
Im still annoyed at myself for getting into this state, i did really well last year when i lived at home and managed to shift 36lb, however, since moving in with my partner i seem to have gotten very comfy and put it all back on plus some. I NEVER want to be this big again. I feel as if my mindset is right for this now.
My main reason for doing this is that we want to start a family, i desperatly want a child but fear the complications being overweight in pregnancy can do and i fear raising children on my bad diet habbits.
So here is a quick run down of day ones intake.
Breakfast
1 slice of Hovis Hearty Oats bread toasted 109 kcal
1 medium boiled egg 70kcal
100g baked beans 87kcal
1 mug of tea 25kcal
Dinner (we went out for dinner at a local pub but they do a lighter range and give the cals for it)
Spaghetti Bolognese with side salad 575kcal
Apple and raspberry j2o - 88kcal
Tea
Tortilla wrap - 130kcal
10g red onion 4kcal
50g iceburg lettiuce - 7kcal
20g sweetcorn - 14kcal
2 turkey and stuffing style quorn slices - 32 kcal
15g smooth branston pickle - 19kcal
100g pickled baby beetroot - 26kcal
1 pack quavers - 88 kcal
Caffine free Diet Coke - 1 kcal
snacks
2 mugs of tea 50kcal
1 school bar - strawberry - 67 kcal
Excersise
45 mins walking leisurely pace - 220 cals burned.
Daily target intake 1200kcal
Daily plus cals burned - 1420
Total - 1392
Remaining - 28
I wont usualy have such a large dinner but my parents really wanted to go out this weekend as it is my partners birthday tomorrow. I do however, plan to walk into town in the morning and join up at the new Pure gym they are opening here. Its only about a 2 min walk from the flat so i think that was ment to be! Plus, our new flat leads right out onto the cannal so there is no excuse for me not going for a walk!
I have been trying hard to get more fibre and greens into my diet. Plan to eat a little less calorie wise tomorrow, i am AMAZED at how little calories there are in salads, i never really looked at it much before. I could never eat them when i was younger as i found lettuice bitter, but i guess my tastes have changed as i grew up as i actually quite enjoy them now.
Well sorry if i have been rambling on but i wanted to make sure i started logging things right.
My MFP name is Midlandmiss if anyone wants to add me.
Looking forward to doing this with the support of you all
