OK I am going to be brave and post my food and exercise plan for this week! I say "brave" because I am not a healthy eater and I am not posting it to be judged. I like my food and am happy with my plans.
I have lost over six stone in weight, over 30% body fat and gone from a morbidly obese bmi to healthy.
Last April I had the NHS healthcheck and got the all clear for diabetes and cholesterol. My chance of getting any heart related diseases (apparently) is less than 0.1% in the next ten years. I've never smoked, drink moderately (and only occasionally).
My hope for posting this is to show that you CAN lose weight! Even if you are fussy or sweet toothed like I am! I am not saying its perfect or right. Its just the way I am and yet I have still turned my life around!
Currently I am trying to lose weight put on over Xmas so I have cut down to 1500 calories mon-fri and 1800 calories sat/sun. On maintenance I would be allowed 2100 calories. Mainly due to the amount of exercise I do.
So here goes!
Monday
7am - 8am 15 mins home aerobics. Breakfast: one slice of ham, two slices of toast, a tbsp of mustard and 2g of butter (made into a toastie) 260 cals. One Jaffa cake 46 cals.
At work - between 10am-11am. Three toffees (34 cals each) and a can of coke zero (I don't count drink calories although is about 2 cals I think)
2pm 30 mins dog walk (ended up doing 45 mins today).
4pm - 5pm Dinner. Half a microwave meal of Chicken Chorizo Pasta Bake with 20g of 50% reduced fat cheese and 147g of homemade chips. (491 cals). Dessert a pot of angel delight (79 cals).
