After another few days of eating badly, I have decided maybe a new diary would be good, for a fresh start. I have had my other diary since April, so 7 months later, I am starting a nice new, shiny one!
I started back in April, and have so far lost 48lbs (3 stone 6lbs) which I am amazingly proud of, however I know if I had stuck to it a bit better, I could have lost even more weight!
I started uni in September and found it OK at first to control my calories, but I have found myself constantly slipping off - and to the extent of large binges, and so I really need to get back on track.
I plan to make more of an effort to update this diary every day, and I will go back to foodfocus and update that more too.
I need to do more exercise too. I am leaving uni for 3 weeks next week and will be living at home as I have a placement - I will make sure I get lots of exercise in at home, and after Christmas (as I will only have another week back at uni after the 3 weeks) I will try to find some exercise classes.
I had another look at my BMR and it is about 1700. To lose 2lbs a week I need to eat 700 calories a day!! Crazy! So, clearly I am not going to do that! But, this week, as I have been so bad the past few weeks, I am going to try to have as few as possible - not to the extent where I am eating badly, but I will make the most of the healthy fish and soups that I have, and will have salad with everything.
Wish me luck
