So all week last week, I started Insanity - a fantastic, cardio workout that really is making me work really hard! My breakfasts have been banana's, although when we had a work breakfast I had a croissant. My evening meals often have rice with them or pasta, and I really need to stop doing that.
I think although I'm getting so much fitter, my diet is now changing and becoming more lazy. With the movement of fat to muscle, and also not eating as healthy as I used to, the weight is piling back on.
And then, there was a hen weekend. On Friday evening we drank shots and cocktails all night, went out for dinner, and I had a chimichanga with rice and peas. Then on Saturday, we had a big breakfast, plus some dancing lessons (at least there was some sort of workout there!!). Then last night, I met my family for a 60th birthday, and had lots of unhealthy foods: quiche, sausage rolls, bread and cheese, as well as champagne and gin and tonic!
So now is the time to straighten myself out properly. I've weighed in, and although I really didn't want to count this as my weigh in, I'm going to. I officially weigh in at 15 stone 10 lbs. 4lbs higher than I was 2 weeks ago.
I'm going to Gloucestershire for 2 weeks now - 2 weeks of walking down to the farm twice a day, feeding animals, and hay baling. On top of which I intend on continuing Insanity every day, from today (I haven't done the last two days due to the hen weekend). I don't have a good set of weighing scales in Gloucestershire, and I don't intend on taking mine. I'm going to try and work hard for 2 weeks, and try to work out what my new diet is. I've had enough to Activia yogurts, and bananas for breakfast. I'm going to start researching what other things I could have that are low in carbs and calories, and healthy for me.
I will update with ideas and research over the next two weeks, but I won't be weighing in until my return, exactly two weeks today!
Wish me luck!!
