Ok, so today I start my diary. I am not sure I need one, but I might as well... it won't harm me that is for sure.
I changed my dietary habits because of a medical problem, I have coeliac disease and I am lactise intolerant. I thought it would be more difficult to be honest, I thought I would crave bagels with cream cheese at all times, but it isn't. In only 5 days, my body is feeling so much better that I cannot believe I lived miserable for almost 9 years. I knew about the lactose intolerance for a while but I never really stopped eating all milk products, because no matter how much milk I cut out, I still felt yucky and nauseous.
Today is day 5 and my first weigh in. I have lost 3 pounds. I am incredibly proud of myself. I hoped I would, but didn't want to get too upset if I didn't. The most important thing for me is to feel physically better and I have achieved that, now I need to feel better with myself.
I was a skinny minny until about 12, I was a gymnast (until I injured myself, falling on my head and became afraid of going back to gymnastics), I was a very hyper child.
Then puberty hit me and I started putting on weight. Not a lot, but sort of always a bit bigger than the skinny people. I then started to dance a lot, up to 5 or 6 hours a day and could eat everything maintaining a weight of about 125 pounds. UNfortunately, when I moved to London, I quit dancing (too expensive and the people suck!) and still ate a lot. So I started to get bigger.
I tried to diet here and there, tried to do more sports, but that didn't really work, because I would get bored.
Genuinely I dislike gyms, because I am bored and it is such a hassle, I'd much rather do a gazillion other things than going to the gym, but I guess, since I do not run in the park, or own a bike, I will have to put up with it. I am lucky because I found a new friend about 3 months ago and she goes to the gym with me.
So here is my regime:
Foodwise (it varies very slightly from day to day, but not massively):
Breakfast: 2 ricecakes, 1 with a bit of honey, one with a slice of ham, 1 banana, water, then later herbal tea
Lunch: slice of grilled chicken breast, cherry tomatoes, some other veg (carrots, cucumber, peppers), fruitsalad (without added sugar)
Snack: 2 tangerines and/or 1 apple, plus herbal tea
Dinner: Fish with veggies, or Fish with rice, or big salad (on weekdays)
Today, because it is sunday I will make an argentinian meat stew, which is cooked inside a butternut squash. It tastes amazing and my boyfriend and friends love it. I use lean meat for it, and the rest are veggies anyhow.
Exercisewise:
3 x a week: 30-45 minute workout in the gym (bike, eliptical and light weights) plus 1 hour of swimming
1x a week 2 hours of rollerblading or iceskating
Today I could not rollerblade because the weather was bad and I have to write an essay. But I might go iceskating on wednesday.
So end of this first post, Camy
