Long story short;
Had my second baby then lost a parent, then lived through a pandemic and emerged ok but overweight out of it all.
The last 18 months I’ve doubled down on diet and being active (10k steps a day + 3 yoga classes a week). I’m getting close to a healthy weight for me but need to shift the last stone.
Looking for motivation, inspiration, ideas and to connect to others trying to do the same. Especially those who like me are almost there and need the last push!
I would quite like to lose about 1.5 stone in the next 3 months, in a healthy way.
My typical food in a day is something like;
- 2 boiled eggs
- Fish + avocado + greens
- Beef or chicken or 1/2 baked potato + cabbage & carrots
- handful walnuts
- 2 dates
- 2 squares dark chocolate
- berries + greek yoghurt
- 2 small cups filter coffee
Once a week I have toast with eggs and beans & a baked good (pastry / cinnamon bun) & a homemade dessert like apple crumble
This week I’m trying to up my water intake which I’m usually not great with.
I’m early 40s, with 2 kids and full time work so busy schedule. Don’t take much time off which can lead to some stress if I’m honest.
Any tips / ideas / fellow journeyers welcome!
