Hello all!
I have had two diaries on this forum before, each documenting weight loss before I fell off the wagon and put the weight back on.
So, this time I'm taking what I've learned on those previous occasions and getting back to business. So far, so good - I've lost 5.4kg (12lb) this year, which
I am happy about! I am doing this by eating the right sorts of foods, getting plenty of exercise (mainly walking) and I'm on track to meet my goal by mid year.
I am basically eating lightly, but not starving myself, avoiding seconds, avoiding large portions, and avoiding sugar. I still have my `cheat night', which is having my favourite takeaway meal and a few drinks on Friday nights.
Started doing Couch to 5K last year, got to week 6, then got out of routine, then never got back into routine. Too hot to do it for the last few weeks (serious heat wave at the moment in Australia), but I will be back into it around week 3 of the program once it cools down. I loved the feeling of 'Holy crap, I just jogged for 10 minutes straight!'
Weighing myself daily (which many people hate, but I quite enjoy), and doing a full weight and measurement log on Fridays including:
Photos, front, back, sides, portrait, side portrait.
Measuring chest, waist, hips, thighs
Taking blood pressure and measuring resting heart rate
Measuring body fat percentage.
I'm charting all of this so it's looking pretty good. Nice to see all these figures dropping (except my BP and heart rate, they were good to start with).
So, anyway, here goes! (again!)
