Hi
no i havent made a new years resolution to lose weight but after jumping on the scales this morning i noticed i've lost 5 kgs in the last 2 weeks. Why, i do not know but it has given me the incentive to keep losing the weight, and finding this group is an added bonus.
I eat a healthy breakfast in the morning, be it cereal and orange juice, or yoghurt or toast. I never skip brekky.
I sometimes eat lunch but usually i pick at what ever im making for the kids lunch, a slice of cheese, a handfull of sultanas, a slice of meat, anything.
I dont eat tea/dinner. After i cook a meal for the kids and help my youngest eat i dont have the energy or appetite to eat. I have been like this since my 1st child was born 6 years ago. Even when i go out for a meal, either at a restaurant or someones house i tend not to eat beacause im running around making sure the kids eat. I guess if hubby was home more often i would sit down to a family meal more.
I snack quite alot during the day. Depending on what i am doing depends on how much i snack and what i snack on. I try to keep my hands occupied so im not forever eating but if im at the computer (which is quite often, lol) i will snack. Chocolate, crackers, biscuits, obviously anything with sugar.
The only thing i do right is drink lots of water. I have always drank water. As soon as i wake up i have a glass of water and i carry bottles of water where ever i go. I only drink tea/coffee when visiting people and when hubby is home i have the odd alcoholic drink.
I admit i dont excercise much, but this year i will have more time for it as it will only be me and my youngest home during the shcool week so i can put him in the pram and walk through the forest around home more often.
I do want to get back to my pre baby weight from 6 years ago, but i need motivation.
Thanks for taking the time to read my rather long entry. I got on a roll and couldnt stop, lol, but reading it back to myself now has made an impact and im ready to keep losing weight.
Keep smiling
