Day 4: Today I'm well and truly pleased with myself *insert cheesy grin here*

Today I'm happy to announce that I was not defeated my this monster called greed! I was David and my epic gluttony is Goliath and I slayed him dammit! Slayed him I tell you!! A little dramatic? Oh... :


So, today I managed to dodge pigging out on the devilish custard creams - I picked up 5 custard creams amounting at a whopping 320 cals! :o What I bloody waste of calories. I took one bite in one of them and then binned the other 4 1/2! Yay me. Two days ago, I would have pigged out and then feel guily after.

Why am I letting food control me? This is stupid! I control what goes in my gut dammit! *now breathe*

Anyway, for breakfast I had a chicken sandwich (ie, real chicken and wholemeal bread). Chicken breast was cooked from the night before, I had it with avocado and tomato! Yummy!

This is my breakdown for today:

Not too bad! I want to keep it at the minimum though, so next time I'll aim for 1200 cals. But I'm really happy with myself. When I don't do so great, I'm down on myself, it's only fair that when I'm doing good - I recognise that as well.

The funny thing is, before I would have a 'celebratory treat' - but the feeling of achieving my dietary goals is enough for me. :)

Also, I added my own recipe on SparkPeople today and this is what my lunch and dinner looked like:

For clarity of serving size/portion: This is a 'salad (small) plate' with a diameter of 18cm.

So yeah, I'm a very happy bunny today! Check in tomorrow. Toodles!

Day 3: Hmmmmm

Re yesterday:

So after my great start yesterday morning, I was pumped with motivation and determination but after not having lunch, come 3pm I was so hungry. All my good efforts in the morning was scrapped, who told me to go grocery shopping on an empty stomach?

I picked up the most ridiculous shit that shouldn't even be labelled as food. I pigged out. But today is another day. I would say my diet today has been about 70% good.

My chicken breast is just in the oven cooking as we I speak type (no oil added may I add) :D

Anywhoo, assignment time! Toodles.

Day 2: So far so good...

So at this very moment, it's 12:42pm; I've had breakfast looking something like this:

My daily 'allowances' (based on SparkPeople's recommendation) are:

So so far I'm doing good. :D



I'm thinking of making some 'season rice' with steam veg today for dinner, ingredients include:

JJamaican Season(ed) Rice Ingredients:

Main-

• Brown rice
• 2 cans of Brunswick sardine with tabasco peppers or Mackerel/Pilchards in tomato sauce
• Cock Soup
• 1 Onion
• Thyme

Compliments-

• Pumpkin/Butternut Squash
• Mixed vegetable (carrots, peas etc) fresh or frozen (I use frozen)
• Pimento

For the steam Veg (whatever ingredients I have lol):

• Cabbage
• Carrot
• Okra
• Thyme
• Mixed veg (fresh or frozen)

So you can see that the ingredient are really healthy. I have my complex carbs in there in the brown rice, my veg and my 'good' fats and protein in the oily fish = bingo! Not to mention how delicious this meal is.

I'm trying to change my outlook on food. Healthy can indeed mean tasty! Don't get me wrong though, I still love me some Nandos! lol

I'll check in at the end of the day to document how the whole day went. Toodles!

So I'm preparing for yet another 'diet'...

Everytime I say "this is it" and slip up but with a new found support group and just being sick of being 'fat' and 'unhappy' with it, I'm ready!

Tomorrow, I'll post pics, stats etc - Are you ready? I am! :D

So I went shopping today...

I'm really excited and I'm getting really prepared for this lifelong commitment to a healthier lifestyle. I got all my fruits and veggies for about a week's consumption (but I loveee fruits so it probably wont last as long). I got nine 2 litre bottles of water, my soya milk ( as I don't drink cow's milk), and much more healthier foods.

My fruit haul looks a little like this:

It's a good look right?

Anywhoo, I hope you are guys are doing good and sticking to your plans but if you fall off,  you can get back on it the next minute; we/you don't have to wait until the next day, week, month or that next big event. Get it going now!
