Weigh in: dare I write it? A whopping 124,8 Kilos. Ouch!
What have I've done so far:
I joined my local group in the middle of June. I was depressed, unhappy and fed up with myself. I needed to lose weight and I convinced myself that I needed help although before my pregnancy I lost a tremendous 35 kilos all by myself. No cheerleaders, no outside rewards, no nothing.
Now it's the middle of August. I am fed up with the modern way of the plan. It's not working the way I would like. I'm not losing the weight the way I used to. It's super slow. I've lost a total of 5 Kilos so far. Lately I'm losing and gaining the same kilo the last few weeks. No fun, not very motivational.
What I've done yesterday:
Dug out my old book, reread how to do it. Noticed that you only had three to four servings of starchy food a day, where as you can eat a lot more now a days. Fruit was limited to three portions, veggies a minimum of three portions. Hmm is that the reason I'm not losing. Checked my food diaries. Have been eating a lot of starchy foods from the filling list. Pasta, potatoes, rice, etc. They where in most of my meals. Veggies to but also a whole lot of fruit. Half of a 5 kilo watermelon in a day for example. Wow! Those no counting things add up!
What I've done today.
When I got up I wasn't hungry at all, so I sat down in peace with my 1 year old and a cup of plain Joe. I looked at the 365 days worth of meal plans I have and started jotting down what I could eat today without having to go out and shop for it.
I have three days worth with just the food I have in the house. I did up the amount of bread from 30 grams to the usual 50 grams that a slice of whole bread weighs, but only took one slice instead of the usual two. Was just as satisfied.
Did some packing cause we are moving soon, had a late morning snack, packed and cleaned some more until my tummy told me it's time to eat. That was at 1pm instead of 11:30am as before. Wow. Not bad. Last week it didn't matter what I was doing I had to stop at 11 or 11:30 to fix lunch cause I was just that hungry!
Late afternoon snack was at 4pm instead of 2pm, dinner at 6:30pm. Over all my eating times have changed today. Let's see how that keeps up.
How I feel/felt
Today I feel energized. It's 11pm and I'm still full of energy. Before at 10:30pm I was more than ready for bed! My temper was good too. Didn't feel like kicking my hubby up from the couch and yelling at him to do things. Over all I feel better. Shoulder and neck muscles are still tense though. Wonder if that will go away too?
Not bad for Day 1 on vintage.
Extra thing I made for me is a kind of scoring card. That way I can check off things. On top I have how many starchy food portions then fruit, veg, milk, protein, fat, extras and fluids.
Here it is: oh by the way that is in german, after all I do live in Germany.
