The challenge to lose 1st

17 replies

MummyRabbit12 · 22/01/2019 17:26

Any tips/advice appreciated but anyone willing to join also welcome!

I'm going to treat this as bit of a food/exercise diary. I'm 5'4 and weigh 10st. Hoping to get down to 9!

Typical day:
Breakfast - 2 scrambled eggs, one brown toast, 2 cherry tomatoes

Lunch - handful of plain chicken breast, salad leaves, tomato, cucumber, beetroot

Dinner - homemade chilli and boiled rice or chicken breast and veggies or similar

Snack - half handful of blueberries and 3 strawberries

30 mins of Pilates or 30 mins running (alternating).

How does my diet/exercise sound?

Bumping. Diet tips anyone?

I'd try and remove a few of the carbs so have chilli without rice and if possible remove the kidney beans and substitute with more mushrooms.

MummyRabbit12 · 22/01/2019 19:50

Thank you! I normally only have one lot of carbs a day. So if say, I had a slice of brown toast at breakfast I wouldn't have rice for dinner and vice versa

Thanks for the tip!

Thats really good - are you feeding your family on this as well? Im unsure how to start - suddenly decided to get married in 6 months and NEED to do something. But I have a busy life with DP and a child. Need quick and easy food. I also need wine at weekends!!!

Weight gain in pregnancy

Weight gain during pregnancy is one of life's certainties, but studies show that many women don't know how much weight they should be putting on – and could be putting themselves and their baby at risk

Cauliflower rice is a decent and filling substitute for something like curry or chilli try to ignore the fact that it smells like farts when cooking!

MummyRabbit12 · 26/01/2019 17:59

@Ironmanrocks congratulations!

That's my motivation too although I have an extra month after you for my wedding!

My husband to be is also on a healthy eating kick so it's been a little easier to keep up as we are able to help motivate each other. We have an 18 month old so he's pretty up for trying most food so we are lucky. At lunch if I'm having a salad, I'll just give him a sandwich or something instead. I haven't tried him with curry or anything spicy yet.

@NotPennysBoat I've heard this! Does it not taste a bit, erm, horrible?!

OP posts:

MummyRabbit12 · 28/01/2019 09:45

I've really had a blip this weekend, I've been totally off plan and ate some rubbish!

Back on it today:

Breakfast - granola with warm skimmed milk

Lunch - wholegrain rice, chicken breast, peas

Dinner - chicken stir fry (hopefully no noodle!)

OP posts:

MummyRabbit12 · 29/01/2019 07:58

Breakfast
Weetabix and skimmed milk with a handful of blueberries, raspberries and strawberries

Lunch
Repeat of yesterday to use up rice. Wholegrain rice, chicken breast strips, peas and sweet corn

Dinner
Bolognese (I'll be having the mince without the pasta)

Handful of nuts as a snack of required

Well done for getting back on it and it's definitely worth persevering as it will pay dividends. I am constantly having blips but as long as I get back to the low carbing the next day it seems to be ok. I am also trying to get back to 9 stone and have a few pounds to go but it's in sight now! Have you weighed again yet?

MummyRabbit12 · 29/01/2019 09:21

@Eattothebeat thank you!

It's the chocolate. I miss the chocolate!

I started at 10st 4 but haven't managed to drop past 9'11. I'm trying to not weigh myself too often though and instead have chosen to take a weekly "progress" photo which I can definitely see a difference in.

Just can't wait to get back to exercising!

OP posts:

MummyRabbit12 · 01/02/2019 10:22

Today

Breakfast
One slice of whole grain toast
One Skyr protein yoghurt

Lunch
Chicken noodle soup

Dinner
Chicken and mushroom with potato and some kind of sauce!

Keep going!
How’s the exercise? Are you enjoying it
