Hi guys. I am currently well into reading the jason vale book 'slim for life' and I must admit so far my mentality is really changing. Im not quite there yet but i have developed a certain caution towards eating the wrong foods that revolves around the effects it will have on my health rather than my waistline! on top of that i find that if i do slip slightly i no longer gorge all around me because i am now aware of the long term effects that binge eating like this may have. as well as that because ive been eating alot of salads, fruit and veg this week i find when i do eat stuff i shouldnt, even if its just a samll amount my system quickly feels the impact. my over all aim is to build a lifestyle that involves three main meals a day with breakfast being a large veg and fruit juice/smoothie and that i cut out dairy and gluten the two things that i am allergic to and also increase my fish intake and cut out meat other than chicken.
so heres the road to a new beginning. i started on wednesday. so here has been my food diary since
wednesday 8th april
fruit and veg smootie
fruit and veg smoothie
asparagus and courgette stirfry
exercise- 45 min walk
thursday 9th april
fruit and veg smoothie
fruit and veg smoothie
banana, advocado and strawberries
exercise- 1 hour of aerobics
friday 10th april
fruit and veg smoothie
banana
small portion of hamemade scampi and chips with a small amount of pink sauce. also bite of sisters homemade pizza. scampi was very oily and i felt sick almost immediately
exercise- nil (was nearly dead from the aerobics)
saturday 11th april
fruit and veg smoothie
2 slices of five seed bread toasted with a scraping of butter
advocado on two dark ryvita
banana
smarties shaker (like a kinder egg with about 10 mini smarties in it)) and three small kinder bueno sweets - the headache has not proved to be worth it. dont think ill be eating my easter egg tomorrow!
lemon sole with breadcrumbs scraped off- recession and mom has a load of stuff bought in from aldi so have to use what is in the freezer before we buy more.
homemade sauce made from coconut milk, tomatoes olive oil and spices- small small amount with fish.
asparagus
courgettes and broccolli to serve.
exercise - 30 minutes on bike. 15 minute walk
heading out but not drinking tonight so happy out. all in all i feel ive done well so far into the four days. its such a relief to not be beating myself up over the things i slipped on eg the toast and the choc, so i think im finally beginning to see eating for the right reasons- to survive! ive craved a huge pizza all week however when i stopped to think about do i really want to and i was surprised because i didnt. im not saying im there yet, mentally ive a long way to go but as a starting point in a lifestyle change and not a diet, im delighted.
last sunday i weighed in at around 14 stone 12lbs, now that was with my period but tomorrow ill weigh in again and hopefully we'll see a decrease!!!
much love and a very happy easter xxx
