I'm sad haha I've recently started a new job which is very sedentary. All previous jobs I've had were very active.
I'm trying to lose some weight but I havnt really lost any in the past 3 weeks. Finding it hard to judge as if I ate like this in previous job weight would be falling off me!
General food is:
Breakfast - 2 weetabix, handful dried fruit and nuts.
Lunch tends to be dinner leftovers and an apple.
Tend to to have a snack on the way home, either an eat natural bar or carrots and hummus.
Dinner - really varies but trying to keep it healthy and I've made healthy 'swaps' I.e veg alongside pasta rather than garlic bread.
This week we've had:
Mon - roast (Defo my worst meal of the week as I had a pretty big portion and obv roasted stuff is not great)
Tues - hairy dieters beef, sausage and red wine 'pie'
Wed - stuffed pasta in tomato sauce with veg
Thurs - veggie burgers with salad and sweet potato fries (no bun)
Fri - veggie sausages, potato disks, yorkies and veg.
Sometimes I have a yoghurt after dinner, tends to be a muller corner type though. 3 times at work this week I've had something like an iced donut or a cupcake as I'm in training at the moment and it's been birthdays and our trainer made cakes yesterday (which were incredible so no regret haha!)
Exercise wise I'm struggling. I have horses so I have very limited time outside them and work. I'm averaging about 7000 steps and also ride the horse 6 times a week.
I'm getting up at 6am and getting home at 8.30pm so I could get up at 5 and do some extra exercise I supppse.
Thoughts on what I can change? My partner cooks dinner and she knows I'm trying to diet so she is trying to keep it healthy.
I suppose I could totally cut out the Work treats (I think this will reduce once I finish training as it's a totally different environment and eating at the desk isn't really doable due to the nature of the work), swap afternoon snack to a banana or something and swap muller corner yoghurts to a normal yoghurt which could save 200+ calories a day?
It's hard to judge as I'm used to being able to lose weight just by eating remotely healthy 😂
