Thanks both but it’s all my own doing. Well alongside bloody second lockdown and depression. And now injury. But yes ultimately my own fault.
I like the idea of an item of clothing rather than inches or weight. Just tried on loads of things for this birthday party as I normally live in gym stuff. And nothing fits, iv clearly been in denial.
So my first goal is to be able to fit into a pair of jeans that I used to be able to pull down without unzipping! I currently can’t zip up. 😢
And my spring/summer jacket that I can’t close.
I’m probably back up to a size 12 instead of the 8/10 I was at this time last year. 😢 I sold all my bigger sized stuff.
Also from your advice I will calorie count loosely. I always get fed up at weighing out things like salad for example. So I will weigh my food for portion control but not get bogged down with the wee things like salad. Also won’t buy any junk so I will really need to want it to make the effort to go to the shop.
Thinking have half a bagel instead of whole one, one roll with soup not two, weight pasta out not guess etc
And snack on ice poles and hit chocolate in the first instance of craving sugar.
Breakfast had some cereal, then went on turbo then had a second breakfast of poached egg and toast but only had one slice of bread. (Need more to eat after a turbo workout)
Will skip lunch and choose a few sensible items at the party
Have chicken for tea.
Have you made it out a walk or run @WouldBeGood?
