I'm back!
I've not been here since August and I've not lost any lbs since I last posted, but the good news is.. I've not gained anything either! I've started a new diary because this is a new start.
I was enjoying being two sizes smaller than when I started back in April, but I'm still unhappy with myself and will strive to get to 125lbs. Around 18 lbs left to lose.
For now my goal is to get to 135lbs before Christmas and I will do it. 8lbs in 10 weeks is very easy to do, and I know I can do it, once I start exercising again and get over motivation bump I seem to be stuck on.
Here is my plan:
Exercise
Monday - Run for half an hour on the treadmill +normal walking
Tuesday - Rest
Wednesday - Run for half an hour on the treadmill +normal walking
Thursday - Rest +normal walking
Friday - Run for half an hour on the treadmill
+normal walking = I have college on these days and walk a lot.
Tuesdays and Fridays I don't have college, so +normal walking isn't on those days.
When I used to run, I would slow my pace to walking and lift weights as I walk. This was a big help and I saw a lot of change in myself, so I'll continue to do that. If anyone thinks this is a bad idea (dangerous to my muscles, or anything else) then please tell me.
After a couple of weeks I'll increase the time from half an hour to an hour. If anyone has any suggestions for me about anything, I'll be grateful to read them.
Nutrition
I will be eating 1500 calories a day. My meals will consist of fruit, vegetables, whole wheat breads and pastas, lean meats and fish and fatty sweets on the days that I will be exercising. The calorie amount for the sweets won't be more than a meals worth of calories (375).
I would love to try different vegetables, fruits and other healthy/benefitial foods into my diet that I've not tried before. If anyone has any ideas, I'd like to know! I'd also like to know about any ideas for low calorie fatty sweets/treats such as custard and strawberries.
Wish me luck!
