This week, at long last, I have regained my focus! It's not as though I had undone all my work, but I had reached a slight plateau, and I needed a kick up the arse!
I've been really good with my eating this week, and it will be helped by my lent pledge: to give up junk food! In my mind this constitutes chocolate, crisps, biscuits, take aways, pop (Pepsi max inclusive, unfortunately), wine, cider, beer etc. Don't get me wrong, I don't eat an excessive amount of junk, but for someone who is trying to lose quite a considerable amount of weight, I eat too much! I would like to stick to this rule of thumb:
The other thing that I need in order to see weight loss is exercise. Since I came down with my sinus infection in half term, I've barely walked the dog, let alone anything more strenuous. I returned to the gym last night, and loved it! I did 35 minutes cycling and then ran for 10 minutes on the treadmill. I didn't think I'd see the day I would run continuously for 10 minutes, and I was very proud of myself. My plan was to do 10 minutes of "walk for one, run for one" but I didn't tire, so I kept going. I hope that this is an attitude I have mastered for good! I'll see how I get on tonight.
This week I lost 2lb! I'm over the moon to be back on track. I'd like to get to my 2 stone loss by the Easter holidays.
I'm just going to keep blogging and tweeting and hope that I don't go off track too many more times! The odd slip up is acceptable, but I need to remember my end goal.
