Last Tuesday I weighed in at 157.8lb. I'd not been watching what I was eating, snacking waaaay too much, not fussed about meals so just grabbing whatever to try and satisfy hunger quickly.
We had a takeaway on Friday night, then went out for a meal on Saturday. But even though I had those, I still managed a Monday morning weigh in of 153.4lb! That's 4.4lb loss!!
Things I've done differently:
Had a jug of squash out on the side in the kitchen. Whenever I've gone in there, I've filled my glass up with that and drunk that instead. I know it's not cold, or particularly fresh by the end of the day, but it doesn't bother me too much. I have sensitive teeth anyway so not keen on stuff too cold. I even have to use warm water to rinse my mouth out after brushing my teeth...
Trying to have different things for breakfast other than cereal and toast. I think I'll be looking for stuff that I can pre-prepare the day before and just warm up if it takes a while to prepare.
Focussing on the evening meal more. More veggies, an interesting "main" bit, and a small amount of potato sometimes (not always).
If I want a snack, getting a piece of fruit (orange or apple, or a handful of grapes). The occasional bit of chocolate so I don't feel like I'm depriving myself!
Will try and continue this week, and see where it gets me. Would like to be 2lb down by next Monday, around 151.5lb. And another 2lb or so the week after, so I'm back to my lowest. Hopefully I will get there!
