I should then be able to reduce calories further when I go back to work. I have started by only aiming for 0.5lb loss a week while I get used to it again and while I do have a few social lunches planned in over the holiday. I just tweaked my settings to make tomorrow an "easier day" (no meals at home!), which retrospectively put me slightly over yesterday, but I am under tonight so all good on balance. It has taken me a long time to be ready to tackle the baby/lockdown weight gain and while on one hand 2 weeks off work might be the worst time to do it with the lack of normal routine, I should at least have time for weighing and tracking and make it a habit before we get back to reality. I did really well with it before, but that was when I was carefree and could get to the gym or stick my headphones on and go for a 3 mile walk every evening- I am now a single parent (hence putting the weight back on in the first place!) so I know it is going to be a LOT tougher! I live in a first floor flat so I can't even jump about to an online workout without really upsetting the neighbours. I weigh on Saturday and weds, and I am actually quite looking forward to the scales tomorrow morning!
I promised myself a good ten days before Easter and I’m doing ok at that, I will have a choc egg on Sunday but other than that the weekend I should be on track plus I’ll get some running miles in which will help. But it’s my busiest day of the week and I’m exhausted tonight so I think that’s ok. That’s come in as 1345 cals, 99g carbs, 17 portions of fruit and veg - probably my “worst” day this week in terms of calories in compared with cals out, and quite high carb because of all the fruit. I did a hiit class this morning but I haven’t hit my 10k steps today L- half a cucumber stuffed with a tin of tuna and 15g light mayo, 28g cheese, cherry toms, grapes, fruit saladĭ- seasoned chicken breast, leftover cauliflower cheese, carrots and a Turkey sausage.
I like to hear what others eat too, 1300 cals is not much at all and I find there’s not much wiggle room.ģ litres of water, black coffee, 1x tea with milkī- 125 g greek yog and fruit salad (homemade, it worked out as 44 cal per 100g) I’ve cut my calories low this week, it’s actually helped me to keep on track, and I have eaten a few exercise cals back if I’ve needed them but my overall is in deficit every single day. It works two-fold for me, it helps me lose weight from the carbs I would have eaten but it also helps my appetite settle so I don’t graze and snack all day on other stuff either. Much as I enjoy carbs (I can do without bread, rice, pasta and other grains tbh, but I do have a sweet tooth and I do like potato) the only thing that ever really works for me is cutting them out.
