Fat to fit -

 

I think there is something wrong with me. I am feeling rather lethargic, bloated and am having stabbing pains in my abdomen. I am making a booking to go and see my doctor. 

I am still struggling trying to get back under goal. Hopefully this might shed some light on why!

What I have done this last week:

• Eating more vegetables in dinner and lunches
• 8000 - 9000 steps + daily 
• eating 6 meals a day instead of 3.
• eating more fruit instead of processed foods. 
• drank more water 
• Track daily 
• ate more protein at lunch

CHANGES I'M MAKING THIS WEEK:

• Plan weekly meals
• Eat more salad for lunch instead of carbs
• Eat all allocated ProPoints, try not to use Weekly Allocated ProPoints.
• Eat more super foods 
• Get back into exercise routine

MY AIM THIS WEEK:

• Eat less exercise more
• Plan all meals 
• watch portions
• Make smart food choices
• add more superfoods to diet
• include protein at lunch
• have 6 meals a day

Polly Dolly - Blog Meet by adalita featuring lace up booties

I adore this sheer top, I want one just like it!

Skinny jeans are one of my staple clothing items, you can dress it up or down.

Every girl needs a cute wallet

Boots so I can still be comfortable but yet stylish

A messenger bag to hold all my essential items

This necklace is too cute, I love the cubes they are a different statement instead of round beads

This diamond ring is just the right thing to tie the accessories together.

square earrings to match the other jewellery

Guess Sunglasses to help with the glare

Grey black nail polish so I don't bite my nails when I get nervous

My trusty Canon 1000d to capture the moment

My iPhone to twitter, blog and facebook about the meet

A nude lipgloss, as I get dry lips easily.

Blog persona

My question is your blog persona different to who you are in real life?

I tend to keep the two apart. I like to have a clear distinction of blog me and real me.
People who know the real me do not know I have this blog and I'd like to keep that separate.  They know I blog though but don't really want to go here.

But I do put the real me into my posts I just don't want it spilling and mixing in with my personal life or work life. This is a place where I can be free and write about my journey unafraid of ridicule of negative feedback from people I know in my life.


Is your blog persona and the real you two different people?

 

I am struggling to lose the last 3kg. I really need to up the anti and focus on healthy eating and exercise. I need to make changes. My leader always says "If you don't change, nothing will change." This is so true an it really hits home. I have changed a lot about my eating habits but now I need help as the new ProPoints system isn't working for me.

• I need to focus on being successful and reaching my goal weight again. It has been a year since I got to goal, 4/3/2010. 
• I need to reassess what my weight loss journey means to me, I need to think and act like a Healthy fit person again.
• Be persistent, this week I really wanted to give up and go stuff my face with anything fatty and unhealthy I could get my hands on. I didn't though, but I did allow myself a few treat of the WW kind. So I am back into routine and doing my workouts of a morning and watching my energy deficit.
• I need to make the right choices when it comes to food choice. I do know what to do and how to do it, there is no excuses!cook and eat healthy food and make the right choices each step of the way.
• This is my journey and only I can do it for myself. No one else can do it for me!
•  I am proud of what I have achieved so far with my weight loss, I need to remember that I have lost nearly 25kg overall. (I have 3kg to get back to that figure). 

How to change

• Work out what you want to get out of your fitness routine and new lifestyle.
• By working out what you want this gives you direction. With direction you can set goals and make them achievable (don't forget to push yourself out of your comfort zone) 
• You need to have motivation and work out hat drives this motivation. Remember it needs to be YOUR reasons to change not anyone elses.
• What do you want to change work out the specifics
• Give yourself time limits (set dates and times not general lengths)
• These all give you direction in what to change and how.

What I have done this last week:

• Eating more vegetables in dinner and lunches
• 8000 - 9000 steps + daily

I chose Vanessa Hudgens, it was hard to find a long evening gown that looked similar so mine is more of an inspired look. I like the look I chose at it reflects the style but does not totally mimic it!
