OK, this is about week three of me trying to make some choices for myself and some things are going really well:
- I'm moving more every day.
- I'm getting at least my 9 fruit/veg almost every day and this week I'm hitting at least 9/day easily.
- I'm drinking lots of water.
- I haven't had any pop or beer/alcohol since I decided to take back some decisions in my life.
- I'm down a solid 2kgs and maybe a smidge more
So why the whine? I've been down those same 2kgs since early last week so for the past 7ish days nothing one way or another.
I'm eating really well - making sure I get my fibre, vitamins, minerals, etc; cut out all the junk that I used to live on like Doritos & Shapes (flavoured crackers) and Coke. On a regular day I'd be taking in a minimum of 2 600ml bottles of Coke and half a pack of Doritos & Shapes and two-three beers per night plus takeout (cheeseburgers, pizza, Chinese) 4-5 times per week. Now I've cut the junk & takeaway out and am making sure my meals are very pretty with lots of scrummy veggies and some lean protein. The only thing I'm not doing is drinking milk for calcium and I must start taking those supplements again while I'm thinking about it!
I know that moving even more will help so that's a no brainer. My semi-question is why if I've tossed out all the crap isn't anything happening! Heck, one day on just coke and beer could easily hit 1000 calories for me before! It should count for something now that I'm not taking it in
