I have not blogged in a while been so busy. This round has been good for me so far I have lost about 2.4kg small amounts each week but no more plateau!! I am also the lightest I can remember being in 15 years!
My personal trainer is a bit of a food nazi but that as been quite advantageous seeing it is the food I have issues with and even though I have made some positive changes he is hitting me up for more. I have to send him my food diary daily and he will comment on my choices good or bad. I have cut the refined carbs I only have bread in the morning and very small amounts of rice or pasta when I eat them. I am loading up on fruit and vege which helps me to hit my carb number and I feel good.
My issue is being consistent. I am great during the week but come weekends it’s a free for all and although I have always tracked my cals on my fitness pal sending it to someone else has made me consider more the type of calories I am consuming as a pose to how many. Before I didn’t care as long as it sat in my calorie count so I would eat that chocolate bar instead of any other snack or drink 2 glasses of wine. Now I am super conscious of my snacks and what I am drinking and what nutrients I am consuming. This has made the difference during the week, but the weekends are my challenge.
The weekends, they are my killer I have no organised meals have to eat out and I find it really difficult to just say no. But this is my challenge until the end of the year and oh through the school holidays to maintain consistent eating and exercise habits when out if routine. When I think back I realised I never really followed 12wbt on weekends don’t think I have had one 12wbt lunch on the weekend at all so that is my goal to make it a 7 day a week effort.
I am seeing changes in my body that I like too! I have collar bones who knew lol and my rings are getting looser. I like the definition in my shoulders still hate my arms and legs but I am a work in progress. And I have a few of the mums at school come and ask me what I am doing to lose the weight which is really nice feeling. Feeling blessed and in control at the moment and that is an awesome feeling : )
