Day 1
13/07/10
195lbs

I have just come back from my summer holiday, and I had decided that when I came back I would start a serious weight loss/healthy lifestyle plan... However, I got ill the day after coming home (mild flu I think) so have put off starting for a couple of days... Now I have decided this is no excuse! And even though I have no energy to exercise or do anything but move from the bed to the sofa to the bathroom, it is no excuse not to at least start eating healthy.

Goal is to lose 3lbs a week. I will be posting my eating and exercise, I have little idea about calorie counting, but I will try my best!

Breakfast Honey Nut cornflakes with 100ml Semi skimmed Milk 150
Lunch Chicken and pasta in tomato and basil sauce 410
2 portions of fruit 98
Dinner Chicken breast with spaghetti 770
Total 1428

Was up all night for no apparent reason, so I spent the early hours watching YouTube videos. Still don’t feel tired! It’s family night tonight, so this means a small feast will be served, thankfully I am cooking so I can make a low fat meal, and serve myself a small portion of desert!

Breakfast 1 Pear 40
Lunch 1 portion pineapple 40
Jacket potato with tuna 340
Dinner Lamb curry 400
Desert Low fat carrot cake 400

Breakfast 1 portion apples and grapes 52
Lunch Leftover Lamb curry 400
1 portion pineapple 46
Dinner Pizza ?

I know I really shouldn't eat something that I don't know the calories, I am weak!
 
hey
i find it useful to plan the meals ahead of time so that i calculate how much points (i use the WW system), or calories i will be using. That way, i won't be too tempted to have something that i can't account for. Best of luck on your weight loss journey:)

Youtube videos ALWAYS do this to me! You find one cool video and then you have to watch all the related ones!! Funny/cute animal videos are the worst for me, personally.

Haven’t ate healthy today, even though I’ve keep the calories within the recommendations, too much red meat. Good thing is, I feel really guilty, and compared to what I could have eaten a few weeks ago this isn’t that bad! Lots of fruit tomorrow! Will also buy a low fat sushi for lunch to keep the calories low.

Feeling so guilty about the binge yesterday, at first I felt like a total failure, but one day going over with calories does not mean it’s all over, I have to keep myself motivated although I know it is going to be hard. I have 14th Sept to look forward to, so going to keep that goal in mind.

Day 12

Still feeling pretty de-motivated and it shows in the foods I am eating or more so the pattern in which I am eating. I didn’t want to eat all day yesterday, couldn’t even manage a piece of fruit. But once it got to the evening I was starving! Still trying to do a bit of exercise every morning, which is making me feel good.
Tried to exercise today, but my body was aching so much, and I just didn’t have the motivation.

I have to admit this week I am feeling like giving up, I have had tension headaches return, and I am not getting enough sleep. This is making it really hard to exercise and put thought into planning meals.
