Exams have finally finished today so i'll have more free time and i think i'd like to start a diary!
I will pop my food and exercise down in here everyday and maybe a bit about my day and how i'm feeling.
A little but about me...
I'm 24 and single mummy to 2 little girls who are 18 months and (just) 5. I work part time as a para legal and graduated from uni after doing a law degree last summer, i'm currently on the Legal Practice Course which i need before i can take the final step to qualify as a solicitor! So as you can see i'm a very busy bee!
I have always been slim growing up but my relationship with food has never been normal, i have been on the binge-restrict carousel for so long now it's depressing when i think about it!! I gained 4st in both pregnancies (10 to 14st). I lost it within 8 months the first time around but i still have over a stone to go 18 months after the second! I guess i have just faffed about too much, one minute trying, the next not caring.
I am here to lose it properly and healthily now...and for good! I am really focusing on the psychological element of weight loss and binge eating, i am a positive person so it's actually pretty easy to be mindful and cheer myself on, even so, i still had a mini slip up at the weekend so i have a long way to go.
So...Aiming for 2lbs a week, although MFP says net 1200 will result in 1.3lbs a week, so we'll see how it goes.
So food etc for today...
Breakfast - Porridge with semi-skimmed milk and raisens - 225
Lunch - Smoked dry cured ham - 50
Dairylea light triangle - 27
2 slices wholemeal bread (400g loaf) - 116
Red onion and mixed leaves - Don't count
Muller light cheesecake yoghurt - 99
Banana - 100
Dinner - Baked potato - 275
Beans - 151
10g cheese - 41
Red onion and mixed leaves - Don't count
Galaxy ripple - 170
Fruit salad - 90
Total cals = 1344
Exercise = 150 cals burned
Net Calories = 1194
