So here it is - 2015. Still fat, still unfit, still unhappy.
It is really funny when I look back at pics from weight before and at the moment that seems so far away to get to, but when I was there I still wasn't happy with my weight. I wanted to be smaller. 71kg was still very overweight to me when I was there, however its at least 20kg lighter than what I am now.
I say at least because I don't actually know what I weigh. I know its above 90kg. It could be above 95kg. Our scales are broken (and no I didn't break them when I stood on them!)
So here we go, another year, another chance of getting to where I want to be and fighting my internal demons when it comes to food.
At the moment we are tossing around the idea to eat grain free and sugar free. But then I read something the other day about how weight loss is more successful if you add things to your life, instead of taking things away. So adding in more vegetables. Add in more water (something I really need to do). Add in more exercise - but instead of jumping in and exercising 6 times a week, aim to exercise for more days than you don't exercise.
I am still going to try and stay away from processed foods, just simply for the fact that they really aren't good for you, and I should look out for my kids and not feed them crap either.
So today I have had:
Breakfast - bowl of Jalna yoghurt and some grain free granola on the top and some dried cherries (which were really tart and I won't be having them tomorrow lol)
Morning tea - boiled egg and some peanut butter in celery. I love peanut butter, especially from the health food store where they add nothing into it. Exxy but yum.
Lunch - I didn't feel like a salad so I went with the theory of "add more vegetables" and had a sandwich with ham and a bucketload of spinach, half a cucumber and some beetroot on it. Doesn't have to be perfect - just add more vegetables and I feel like that is easy enough to stick to.
Afternoon tea - a bite of very over ripe banana, then I had some maple cashews, some sultanas and a little bit of homemade blueberry ice cream off the spoon when I made it.
Dinner - its vegetarian night in our house, so while the kids have pasta - we are having vegie burgers/rissoles with roasted vegies. I took an old recipe for vegie burgers I have and put in a 5 bean mix instead of chickpeas because I didn't have any. Hopefully they will taste ok, I omitted the flour and used a bit of almond meal to make it less moist.
After dinner - homemade ice cream - blueberry!
Coffees: 3
Water intake: probably around 1.5L
Exercise - about an 8km walk with my friend Jennilee
