This must be my 101 time for starting a food diary on this site and in that time I have been in most of the forums, WW, SW etc. I got engaged in January this year and we are getting married in March next year and I have put on a stone since we got engaged . I am now 3 stone 3lb from the weight I would like to be when we get married (which is still about 4 stone above my ideal weight but I will worry about that when I get to the first target)
I have given myself the kick up the bum I needed and realised one of the causes of this is not planning ahead so turning up at work with no lunch, saying I will go to Boots to get a Shaper meal but then being to busy and ending up with something very high caloried from the canteen or not having any idea what I am having for dinner till I get home.
Therefore I have challenged myself that I sit and fill in a food diary on MFP the night before AND get my lunch organised so I just have to grab it from the fridge. I did this last night and just sat at my desk and made a salad on the plastic plate i had bought in for that purpose which was nice and I think by doing that it is going to be more of a "meal". I normally try and go for a walk at lunchtime but have quite a few meetings today so not going to make it.
I "started again" yesterday so this is day 2, day 1 final diary is at the bottom of this post.
