Well this is day 4 of my transformation and I am happy to say that I am doing well. Walk with DD in pram for at least 30 mins every day and 2 x weights workout so far, more tomorrow. I have stuck to my eating plan. 1575 calories per day and I am drinking more water, 1 and a half bottles a day, need to increase it by 1/2 a bottle. I have cut down on sugar dramatically, only 1 teaspoon a day, with my tea in the morning instead of 2 per cup of tea (2-3 a day), 2-3 teaspoons on my weetbix, etc etc...
I also had a kickstart on my transformation in the way of the flu over Christmas, I am sure it zapped a kilo or two off of me as I am never sick, it was a shock to my system.
All in all I am really happy with my motivation and willpower .
Well done ladies on your first day to a healthier you! and good luck for your second.
Deanne, sounds like me!! You sound so motivated! I too am really motivated this time. I am also on my 6th day of the health kick. Drinking lots of water has made me feel terrific too, I can't believe I don't get headaches anymore, I must have been really dehydrated. Well done with your walking, that is terrific, keep up the good work
Laranna - as lulu suggested, even when your well I think it is easier to prepare your meals. I find it easy to cut up a load of vegies for dinner in advance, then I just have to pull out a container and through it in the steamer, you can also add an egg or two (instead of boiling). Same goes for lunch, have meat ready, bread or rolls and salad pre-cut in containers as then you can chuck a roll together on the run. This was you only have to prepare 2-3 times a week. I am lucky enough to have DF cook the meat at dinner as I am hopeless with meat, burnt on the outside and raw on the inside .
As for exercise, I wouldn't worry to much when you are sick, although when I am sick I find it refreshing to go for a light walk. Just concentrate on the meals and worry about the exercise when you are better.
yes i agree with deanne, i prepare my vegies through the day when my DD is asleep, does not take too long. i have my salad vegetables cut up in a container too. so when dinner time comes along, i just throw my vegies in the steamer or add some salad dressing if having a salad and just have to worry about the meat side of things.
