Until I consider whether this is going to be a permanent feature in my blog, I will just be calling this a "Life Update".
Okay. So exactly four weeks ago today (I think that's right), I took the plunge and joined my local weight loss group with my mam. She's been going for little under a year now, and has done phenomenally, so I finally bit the bullet and joined myself. Everything was going great. Until...
My hiccup.
I've been weighed tonight (it's just after 9pm) at class and found since last week I've put half a pound on. I'm feeling both frustrated and upset but at the same time I'm feeling nothing at all. And I think I know why.
I didn't stick to plan.
Each week for the first four weeks of your journey, you're meant to fill out food diaries to see what you're eating, what your habits are, and how you can change them if necessary. You pass then back to your consultant who then looks over them and returns them the following week (or texts you like mine does, she's such a good consultant!)
This week however, life admittedly got in the way, and although I was mentally preparing my meals and counting my good and bad foods, I wasn't actually writing these down, not even on a scrap bit of paper, let alone my food diary! So naturally I had a rather naughty week as a consequence (totally my own fault and I take full blame), which I've paid for in my gain. To me, this proves that I really do need my food diaries to help me control my eating habits and make the correct changes I need.
Anyway, this ramble is now over, I've had my say and can't decide if I want to keep up with this segment or if this is a one off.
See you all soon with another post!

My Mom has always been curvy and she finds that keeping a food diary really helps her to not only lose weight, but to keep track of the things she's eating and buying at the grocery store. Half a pound is barely anything - probably all just water - so I wouldn't beat yourself up about it. Just make sure you get back on track and start fresh! I have total faith in you! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words! I'm actually going to start (as of tomorrow) with a food diary, once I see if this works for me, I may even do a blog post or video about it :)
