I'm feeling lighter and my trousers are fitting better. My weighing scale at home says I've lost 4kgs since buy I'm waiting till my weigh in with my doc to see what his weighing scale says. Either way I'm happy with the outcome so far.
The challenge for me now is changing my thinking pattern. Fun and relaxation equates to eating out. Friday night treats usually mean eating whatever food I'm craving in a cafe or takeout. This afternoon I found myself thinking 'Oh no! I've worked so hard but I can't eat out'. It was interesting to hear myself think this - and then pausing to think why and coming up with an alternative solution. That was quite empowering.
So I'm going to cook my favorite dish and eat it with lettuce. Nice crisp lettuce instead of rice. This way I get to satisfy my craving while meeting my dietary requirements.
Fun activities will need to change now. Eating out will need to be replaced by non-food related activities like going to the theatre, galleries, walks, reading...
This is definitely a lifestyle change.
Whowoudhavethunk!
SEVENTEEDN DAYS of eating well.
Tomorrow we're going to add exercise into the mix. Let's see how this goes. I figured I could spend the first two weeks getting my eating sorted before I add another new thing to the plan.
I'm actually quite looking forward to the big walk planned for tomorrow.
Happy Friday!
