Healthy New You: Your Change For Life #2

Just watched it on 40d myself - such an eye opener haha

I think I may have to check this out!

I'm halfway through. I think, though, that I always know exactly why I've put on weight. I think I have a much better idea of what's in my food than those people seem to!

I don't know how that woman didn't realise she was eating so much chocolate and crisps

Is that nice? I'm not reaaaally a fan of peanut butter but wonsering if it's any good with apples. I keep going way under my calorie limit (not even on purpose) so looking for things to bulk it out so I don't feel like I'm eating loads.

The caffeine is fine (it might even speed up your metabolism a tiny bit), it's whether you're also having a ton of milk and sugar with each cup.

Know how you feel though, my revision days in the library seem to be just interludes between trips to Costa.

so today was an all round good day apart from the fact I had to eat lunch on the bus as that what the only time I could to avoid missing it.

Breakfast: muesli, piece of toast and tea

Lunch: homemade potato salad < wasn't like the creamy ones you buy in the shop> lemon dressing instead of mayo. banana and raisin snack pack ( I really do love them even though they're meant for kids)

Dinner: I'm planning to attempt a sort of pizza with a tortilla wrap, spinach and tomatoes

snacks: another raisin snack pack, pear and probably gonna have some unsalted rice cakes after dinner

exercise: gym elliptical trainer 45mins and rowing 30 mins

also this may sound stupid but does it matter what time of day you exercise cos I tend to go to the gym like really early and have the rest of the day free.

not entirely sure it's normal but I've got massive pea cravings so dinner is basically a HUGE bowl haha.

also, trying really hard to cut down on salt at the moment - well, todays the first day of it - not added any to my meals at all, tastes a bit strange but i reckon i could get used to it after all, its about being healthy, not skinny

Salt is actually good for you if you use the right stuff. I use pink himilayan salt that I bought from a health shop- it cost about £2 a bottle. Salt is full of essential minerals that our body needs- apparently it contains the same 84 elements that are found in our body. There's no need to cut it out.

Your post didn't scare me don't worry, it was just a coincidence that I posted that at the same time :-). I know I'm being a bit dramatic, because not losing weight for 5 days is nothing like a plateau, but the only thing that I know is that I have 9 weeks to lose 12 pounds.. and I'm desperate to be able to lose that amount.

This is the deadline I've been working towards for the past year and a half, and it's getting scarily close now!

So I'm going to try and do lots of exercise today. I'll go on the Wii and do some jogging, do my exercise bike in my lunch hour, and do some weights later on.. plus go for a walk at some point. I'm determined .

Thanks, and you! I'll definitely update here on how it goes. I'm quite a slow runner so I've given myself 2.5 hours, although I did my 12 in about 2 so should be less- I hope! Have you got a time in mind? I seem to remember you run at quite a good speed?

I'm just excited about getting a medal

Week 3 of couch25k is hard I'm so unfit
