Hey guys, so I guess it's been a long time. There's a multitude of reasons that I haven't been blogging or putting out reviews, but I'm not really gonna give a load of excuses. I've just not been motivated. However, I feel like that is all about to change. You see, your girl who is never motivated found something to be motivated about. I started my journey back in January, I had a new years resolution that this would be the year I would start to lose weight. I started off at 306lbs (that's 21 stone and 9lbs if you're in the UK). 5 months down the line I am currently at 284lbs (that's 20 stone and 3lbs) which works out to me losing around a lb a week.
Now don't get me wrong, I know that doesn't sound like much but I'm not on a fad diet. I'm not stopping myself from eating something if I want to eat it. I'm just making sure that I do not eat more than 2000 calories a day (which is what a woman is supposed to eat in a day, if you're a man I believe it's 2500). I'm weighing my food out and scanning everything into myfitnesspal (not sponsored, ha as if I ever could be, I've just found it the most helpful for scanning food in). I do find myself eating more healthy foods because I get bored of just putting something in the oven. Or if we do happen to get a takeout we will get it on one of my "none diet days" (I allow myself 2 days a week where I don't calorie count, usually the weekend however it doesn't always mean I use them) or we will choose the "healthier option". (An example is if we want to get KFC for example, I will get a rice box because I hate chicken on the bone and those beauties are only 510 calories which will be my whole lunch or dinner when I get them). I'm trying to exercise more however at the minute that just means taking the dogs for a few more walks or walking places rather than getting on the bus to them, I have not yet found a way to workout which either A: isn't spending a lot of money on a gym membership to never use it or B: exhausting myself on the wii fit every night. I'm sure at some point I will work it out.
Don't worry, this blog isn't going to turn into a fitness blog, I will still be doing reviews, I just wanted to let you guys know where I'm at, and maybe put a couple of updates on here when I hit certain milestones. (May even share a cheeky couple of recipes here and there that I've found on pinterest from time to time). For now though, I am motivated and I will keep on going.
And my only question for the end of this blog post is.. What's your favourite "healthy recipe"? Possibly drop me a link in the comments below!
Have a wonderful day.
Love, Lyndsay
