Hey Guys and Gals! How are you doing this week?? I feel like now I'm slowly getting back into a rhythm with my eating and exercising and I'm feeling great for it! My diet the past two days have been particularly awesome if I do say so myself! To give myself a kickstart, I have started the diet my trainer had me on last year. When I was eating like that last year, I didn't crave so much sugar, carbs and just plain crap! And I lost 13.8 lbs in four weeks to boot! It's just a shame that I'm at an even higher point in my weight than I was this time last year. I felt like I was aiming to try hit 200lbs on the scale! Yes, I'm twisted in the head like that!
I know myself that I just can't handle having sweets, chocolates or crisps because I just can't control my eating once I start eating that stuff - they're like evil, addictive drugs. Even having just ONE of something like that and it triggers a binge. I have to eat it until every last morsel is gone, you know, so I can START my diet again tomorrow! It's a vicious cycle.
I have been doing my brain training on the Kinect and I'm happy to say that my brain age has come down considerably! I'm now only 46!!! Isn't that fantastic!
I also wanted to thank you all for your lovely and awesome comments from my last post - you have no idea how they keep me going when I feel like totally throwing in the towel. You all save me from myself!
My diet my trainer gave me is quite simple and easy to follow! Basically it eating no more than 60g of STARCHY carbs a day. So I am only counting carbs in things like oatcakes, fish cakes, rice, cous cous etc.
What I ate today:
Whey Protein shake made with water and skim milk
2 Fine Milled Oatcakes
Carrot batons with 75g Houmous
Reggae Reggae Chicken (yeah, maaan!)
with Salad and a dollop of red onion chutney.
2 Fine Milled Oatcakes
2 Cod Fishcakes
Carrot Mash with Laughing Cow Light Cheese Triangle
Knob of butter (bad yes, but the carrots needed a touch of something...!)lol
110g Light Cottage Cheese with Pineapple
5 Peach slices (from a tin - sweetened water)
As you can see I am eating A LOT! Even thought I've only been doing this diet for two days so far, I have had no headaches, I feel like I have more energy, feel more confident and happy. I hope I can just stick to this for 4 weeks and then up the starchy carbs to 100g a day or have a "cheat" meal and then get back to it again.
That's really all for now! And it's pay day tomorrow - yeeee haaaa!
PS. Has anyone been to see Limitless or the Lincoln Lawyer??? I'm dying to go see these movies soon! Lots of eye candy.........mwahahaha!
