Week 1: - 0.8kg

Posted by stellachiara on May 23rd, 2009 |Filed Under Uncategorized |

It`s Saturday morning which means that the first week of my new programme has ended.

I have lost a little weight (although not too much to make me suspicious!), I was surprisingly full and my sweet cravings were zero. The other day, there were biscuits in the office, which I did not even want, leave alone take! I`m happy and determined to continue.

And this is my plan:

  • Breakfast: something carby which will sustain me until lunch time. I had muesli with seeds and soy milk on most days and fruit and probiotic yoghurt on one day.
  • snack: not required!!!
  • Lunch: whaever is on offer, maintaining a good mix between healthy carbs, proteins and healthy fats. Lunches I had included bean salad and lentil soup or just large amounts of fruit (okay, no proteins and fats here!). One day, we spontaneously went to the pub with colleagues, and I had a baked potato with beans and cheese.
  • snack: not required
  • Evening: as little carbs as possible, although I am learning with the help of www.fitday.com that some things (tomatoes in this instance) may look innocent but are indeed very carby. Things I had included fish with salad or veg or salad with feta
  • Excercise: running, fitball and dumbbells, but not every day.

What did I find difficult? Nothing, really. I was so satisfied and so did not feel deprived. I always feel like this at the beginning of a new diet program, so long may it continue.

What helped? seeing the foods I had as a treat, having Monday off so that I can cook a lot of nice, homemade things in advance. Pre-planning is important to avoid temptation.

What motivated me? My colleague. She is so slim and had the most gorgeous dress posted to the office:

Kira - 1

I held it and felt it, and it was so unforgiving, and yet, so sexy… To be able to wear something like that, to confidently stroll into a room in this dress and a pair of killer heels, immaculately made up and, oh,so slender… That motivated me. I imagined being her while I was working out…
