Diet? or changing habit? Well. Mostly changing habit. And weighing/measuring everything because I'm not very good at guessing at these things. Also, I'm getting in the habit of planning ahead so I'm not stuck with being starving and not wanting to cook = pizza...
What do you usually have for breakfast? Lately my breakfast during the work week is: 1 kiwi before I leave the house, on the train to work (I'm on the train for 1 hour and 15 min and the train leaves at 7 - I can't eat all my breakfast before I leave because I'll be hungry before I even get tot work
) I have strawberries (approx 100g), 125g Fage 0% yoghurt, 40g All Bran Plus.
For lunch? Almost every day during the work week I have approx 100g spinach with something like chicken/brown rice/tomatoes and a bit of my own dressing (1tsp olive oil, balsamic vinegar). Some days it's shrimp, some days HB egg(white)s. But it's always protein/small amount of rice or pasta or couscous/ dressing with the spinach.
Snacks? When? 9 AM I have 1 Triple Tall NF latte. If I'm hungry before lunch I may have a sandwich (2 slices brown bread, 5g Hellman's FF Dijonnaise, 2 slices WW chicken). 3 PM snack is 3 Ryvita Sunflower Seed and Oatmeal crackers with cottage cheese/ laughing cow light/ mashed up chick peas and some cucumber/cherry tomatoes. Between 5 and 6 PM I'm on the train again and I'll have carrots, an apple, or maybe even some roast beef (just eat it straight out of the package, no more than 100g).
Dinner? Dinner is always protein/ veg / pasta or couscous or rice. On the menu for tomorrow is Turkey medallions, broccoli and couscous. We eat fish 1 - 2 times a week.
Any drinks? I have my one TTNF Latte in the morning. I may have another coffee later, but it's always black with nothing added. I drink herbal tea in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon. Lately I have a Pepsi Light after lunch. I drink about 1.5 litres of water a day.
What are you avoiding? candy, chips, pizza, cake, frappuccinos (I work at SBUX), any other sugary snack-like food. To be honest, I *rarely* crave anything "bad" because I rarely eat anything "bad", if that makes sense? There are always temptations and that's something different... but I just don't want that stuff right now so it's not an option to have it.
How many L of water do you have per day? 1.5
When did you start seeing a difference in your weight? Right away. As soon as I followed and stuck to my plan I've lost every week.
Any exercising along? Yes. Almost every day now.
How many pounds/kilos have you lost? 9½ / 4.3KG since I restarted 15th April. So it's not been ages or something, but I'm a veteran Weight Watcher and I do know how to work the program, I just wasn't doing it and wasn't being honest or accountable to myself. Then some great chicks here basically whipped me into shape and now I'm totally into it!
