Hi there like many I've been lurking for a while and enjoying the fabulous threads on here.
Last year I lost weight on slimming world, not a huge amount, but what I needed to feel good about myself again. This year things have kind of gone to pot and most on it has gone back on. Plenty of excuses, the main one being that I badly broke my foot and couldn't exercise for 6 months, but the excuses are running out now. So I have decided to start a diary on here to try to motivate myself. I felt amazing when I lost the weight last time, and so much more confident, and I want to feel like that again.
If I don't do it now I dread to think where I will be by the time Christmas is over lol! I'm going to do it at home this time rather than attending class to save a bit of cash.
I also need to start exercising again and want to try the C25k. I never realised how toned I used to be until it all left me! You never appreciate what you've got til it's gone!
So this is my diary. I want to try a mix of extra easy and green days (which I haven't done before) and start the excerise.
My breakfasts and lunches don't vary much but my evening meals for the next few days are planned as:
Mon - Chicken salad
Tues - quorn stuffed peppers
Wed - puttanesca
Thurs - meatballs, cous cous and salad.
Plus a few syns here and there as I feel the need!
So here's to attempt number two!
