Hi all,
Have changed my diet quite dramatically in the last month. Went from not worrying what I ate (lots of snacks, and high carb meals etc) to being extremely conscious. I was hoping to lose about 3-4lbs first 2 weeks then 0.5-1.5lb a week after that for the next year or so. Not under any strict time scale, but would like to lose approx 3 stone. I looked the best i can remember in my wedding when I was 10 stone, but could have looked better (Am currently 5'8 and 12 stone 9).
Here is what I eat in a standard day:
Granola with semi skimmed milk, handful of raisins / protein shake if exercised in morning / sometimes slice of wholemeal toast with peanut butter and some fruit. Tea
Apple
Salad, tuna, low fat dressing. Sometimes ainsley harriot cous cous if I'm particularly hungry. Diet coke.
Normally an alpen light bar (65 cals) if I'm hungry, but try not to, or a banana. Often have a treatsize mars ice cream (79 cals off the top of my head) on friday as its ice cream day in work so I have a stash in the freezer!
Tea, virtually always chicken or fish with salad or veg. Maybe bolognese with protein pasta, or fajitas (chicken) with salad instead of wraps. Maybe protein shake if exercised a lot and not very hungry.
One lager when I get in from work. I easily drink 8 pints of water while I'm in work. In fact, I may drink too much?
I exercise at least 20-30 minutes a day. (cross trainer, bike, weights bench, floor exercises, medicine ball etc) but haven't for the last couple of days as I haven't stopped due to work. (Literally eat tea, kids to bed, back on calls to the US, then bed). I do enough to work up a sweat but my no means marathon training.
I consume around 1300 calories a day, I allow myself 1700 if eating out. (We seem to have lots of 'celebrations' this week. Have pretty much just gone forr chicken breast and salad each time).
Work in an office job 9 hours a day 5 days a week so not much moving there unfortunately :(
I have lost a grand total of 1lb and 1" off my hips (nothing off my waist,arms or legs).
Can anyone see where I'm going wrong?
TIA
