I named my thread "March 12 - ??"
because I start today, but don't know when it will end.
My diary is going to consist of three parts.
1. Daily food diary
2. Daily exercise diary
3. Emotional diary, for days when I feel the overeating wanting to kick in.
My initial goal is to have lost 15-20lbs by August and/or maintain. Which is doable.
My first goal is to have lost 6-8lbs by May, leaving me with ± another 12-14lbs to lose, but we'll see how things go after the first 6-8lbs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My diet is going to be quite simple for the next 4 weeks or so, as the less choices I have and the more routine there is, the easier it is to stick to it.
So it's basically going to look somewhat like this:
Breakfast:
handful of raw nuts, 1/2 cup toasted spelt/barley/chickpea/azuki flakes, piece of fruit
or lowfat wholemeal spelt/chickpea pancakes (no sweeteners added) + fruit
or 1/2 cup (uncooked) brown rice with a splash of soy sauce and a piece of fruit
Lunch:
protein smoothie (protein mix, cocoa powder, goji berries, flax seeds)
big salad filled with a myriad of vegtables or a (pureed) vegetable soup.
Dinner:
sandwich + nutbutter and flaxseeds
-lentils/chickpeas/kidney beans/mung beans/azuki beans dish
2 pieces of fruit
Snacks:
Popcorn
Rice cakes
Wholemeal spelt pretzels
Berries
Fruit smoothie
Banana ice cream
Steamed broccoli
Cherry tomatoes
Avocado
Carrots
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exercise will mostly consist of strengthening (or attempting to
) the muscles in my arms and legs/knees and I will also add some dancing/ballet/pilates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will (try) to post my daily results everyday at around 8pm, as that's when I will stop eating. So any urges to eat after that can be written off right away on here, in the emotional diary
And that's it for now!
