I was able to go to a scale and I’ve lost 15pounds already since the beginning of June. I’m down to 174. I’m happy :) I’ve done well with food and exercising although I still want to run more, I just hate it and I def run better with a partner. Unfortunately that isn’t an option for me at the moment. I have about three months before January and before I head to the lovely beach of Durban for New Years. I’m more determined then ever to loose the other 15.
Tricks I find that work well for me are eating a relatively sizeable bfst, eating a light snack and 2 pieces of fruit at lunch. Then at dinner I eat mainly a ton of veggies. I shy away from bread, rice and pasta although I still have them, but in moderation. I cook a cup max for dinner.
Also because I know my coworkers always tend to eat out while we are out of the office I make sure not to bring money so I’m not tempted to buy french fries or fried dough balls that they love to eat.
Overall, I’m happy I just wish I would run more. I’ll def weight myself again at the beginning of November, so I’m aiming for six pounds. Hope it works out.
