Hi Everyone
Well today was day 1 of my weight loss journey. Now I know 9 stone 8 lbs is not considered obese for someone of my height (5 ft 5). However I am on the higher end of the ‘healthy weight’ and I do not feel comfortable in my skin and when I gain 1 lb it feels like 3lbs. I have got down to 9 stone before and remember actually liking my body so would like to get down to that weight again and take it from there.
It takes absolutely ages for me to lose any type of weight so it might just be christmas by the time I do! Haha. I think writing this blog and making sure I do it everyday will keep me motivated and spur me on (and anyone else on the same journey)
Okay so a break down of my food today is:
Breakfast: Special K and Soya Milk (I have soya milk as I am dairy intolerant)
Mid-Morning Snack: Banana
Lunch: Salad (lettuce, plum tomatoes, cucumber, green pepper, vegetable couscous, 1 spoonful of tomato pasta, ¼ slice of ham)
Afternoon Snack: Alpro soya yoghurt (I would normally have this after my lunch straight away but then feel hungry again when I get home so I saved it until I got home from work)
Tea: Slow Cooked Beef Stew (carrots, onions, beef, vegetables, gravy and mash potatoes – I have plenty of vegetables as I’m not the biggest meat eater, it’s the carbs I have to watch!)
I think overall today has been a very good day, although doesn’t help when the house is filled with freshly baked scones and coconut/jam cupcakes – temptation at the highest level!

| Like the socks? lol |
I always class the first few days as ‘Novelty days’ so the true test will be in a week or so!
Let me know if you have any tips, are you going through the same journey??
*Tip*: keep yourself busy so boredom doesnt walk you to the biscuit tin!
See you tomorrow….
