Today marks the eighth week (and eighth weigh-in) of my slimming journey. I don't do well at sitting and waiting for things (and I don't want to clean the kitchen!) so I've decided to do something I've been contemplating for a while. I've decided to start a blog about my journey from blob to babe.
My problem with dieting is boredom. I crave exciting flavours and a lot of the time the recipes following slimming plans are bland and you end up eating the same thing every day, which bores me out of my skull, and into the welcoming arms of crisps, and one massive binge later I've undone all my good work. Which is why I'm here writing this! As well as tracking my personal achievements and musings, I plan to write down some of my recipes, partly as a personal challenge (I make up recipes as I go along and don't measure ANYTHING so it'll be a challenge to come up with instructions that aren't extremely vague) but also so that if some like-minded person is trawling the internet for some healthy food which is damn tasty, they might find me and regain some hope!
This week I've forced myself into a really strict regime of eating mainly veg. I'm not going to lie it's been a rough seven days, I've pretty much eaten the same damn thing every single day and I'm going out of my mind. I needed it though, last week I put on 1.5lb, my first gain since starting, and it gave me a huge kick up the bum. The goal this week is to hit the elusive 1 1/2 stone marker, which also means I'll have lost 10% of my starting body weight, which in 2 months is pretty cool. I'll let you know how I get on!
Now, I suppose, I should really clean the kitchen!
