Lowest I've been in ages but yes, it's yet another year of hovering around the 10 stone mark. November's good progress was hampered in December by a drawn-out cold that kept me away from the gym and close to the bread bin. That was followed by Christmas at my family's and New Year in a hotel. With that behind us, there are no excuses left.I am fit and well. Gym once a week and a 20 minute run in the park once a week is the least I can do. Keeping yourself full and happy while taking in the least number of calories is the only way to shift the fat. These things I know are true:
Start the day on the wrong foot and it spirals
Eat a big lunch or afternoon snacking will take over
Refined carbs make you hungry - white bread, popcorn, chocolate, fizzy drinks are banned
Vegetables are filling and the fibre makes your system feel good
It's hard not to lie on my food diary
I cannot live without cheese or the odd glass of chilled white wine
More than one glass of wine leads to snacks and more wine. And sometimes fags.
A hangover leads to fizzy drinks and bacon sandwiches
I am the same height and build as Geri Halliwell. Just two stone heavier :(
