I have successfully completed the first 4 weeks of my lifestyle change.
The main changes -
1. Do a little activity every day (30-40 mins of moderate exercise)
2. No carbonated soft drinks, no chocolate, no fried food, no alcohol, no bread, no dairy, cut red meat intake
3. Eat breakfast every day
4. Monday to Friday make lunch my main meal of the day
There of course have been exceptions to the above rules.
1. We went out for a pizza as a family and instead of a regular meat pizza all to myself and beer I had a diet squash, a salad bowl and shared a regular pizza with my wife.
2. We've had 2 big barbecues. Instead of the usual coleslaw, potato and pasta salad we've had roasted veg and a couscous salad and mainly cooked chicken.
3. It was our 6 year wedding anniversary yesterday so my wife and I had a glass of wine each and a couple of chocolates.
4. I had one party we were invited to where I did have a few beers and did overeat
The results
Starting weight: 231 Lbs
Current weight: 213 Lbs
Lost: 18 Lbs
