It's been about six weeks since I've posted. What's happened to me? Well nothing really, my weight has been stagnant, a little bit up, a little bit down. Currently I'm at about 74.3kg which is where I was when I last posted. But I haven't really lost weight in the last 2 months. That's changing.
I've chopped and changed my diet so many times! High carb, low carb, medium carb then high carb again. I've been reading about a diet where you have unlimited vegetables and meat. It's generally a low carb diet, and that's what I've decided to try for a while. For meat I'll generally be having fish like sardines. Not many people would say that they are appetising, but that's the point! I can overeat on ham, chicken, even meat patties maybe. But fish? No way. The veges I'll probably stick to my usual 500g a day, which is fine for me. I enjoy veges but it's unlikely that I'll ever have a vege binge.
Exercise. I struggle with this. It has occurred to me that maybe it'll take a while before I actually enjoy exercise. I'm not talking a couple of months, I'm talking about a couple of years. I guess it's like mathematics, which is what I've been studying recently at university. It's hard, no one denies that. But if you're doing the same level after a while, you start to enjoy it. Crazy I know. Maybe that will happen with me with the exercise. After a few years I'll start to enjoy it. It would be nice to have exercise to give me more energy and a better quality of sleep. I'll try, I really will. I'm not fit at the moment, but the upside of this is that the only way is up!
Losing weight each week. I've had this as a goal before and it has worked really well. Currently I'm on my third week. The losses haven't been stunning (0.2, 0.3, 1.0kg) but I'm headed downwards, which is where it counts.
I'll definitely try and post more often, and also comment on the blogs that I follow. I'm 70 percent finished on this journey. I want the last 30 percent to be just as social as the first 30 percent.
I love that you don't give up. Trying new things is good in my world. I also struggle with exercise. At the moment, with the intense heat, I've opted to do mall walking for a while. It isn't exciting but it is something I can accomplish and it's free. Keep us posted on your progress. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the diet I do. I've lost over 90 pounds eating unlimited lean protein and veggies (no starchy ones though). I don't count calories and I always eat till I'm full. The best eating plan I have ever been on because I can easily do this (or a variation) for the rest of my life and be quite happy. Good luck:)
