Weigh Day Thursday 25July

This morning I was weighed and the devastating result was that I weigh the same as last week! I was gutted to begin with, but that did not last long as I know I did my best this week and it may show up next week. I have however lost 2 inches on my bust, 2 inches on my waist and 4 inches on my hips!! Greats result from the measurements anyway..

This week my plan has been switched up a lot.
I must eat red meat 5 times this week, at different times of the day each day.
I can only eat 3 yogurts a week.
The only fruit I can eat are kiwis, full oranges and pears.









I am looking forward to next weeks weigh in already as I know results should start showing.
I am still attended Boot camp & walking so I will be patient..

Weigh day Thursday 18th July

This week was a fantastic result as I have lost 4 lbs!!
I am extremely happy with this and proud of myself for sticking to the plan. I went for a walk most days with the buggy and I also attended Boot camp twice. I feel that my body strength is getting back to where it was pre-pregnancy. I am able to keep up a lot better than when I first started. I am also remembering to do my stomach exercises at home every night.
Eating wise has been very good also. I cannot fault this eating plan, it works extremely well with me!

So with this great result it has pushed me a lot closed to my goal a lot earlier than expected. I have lost 6 lbs in 2 weeks.

This week has been changed slightly, I am to be on what's called a 'detox' week!

I will need to eat a tin of tuna between meals at different times of the day- every day.
I need to have a tin of pears for 3 breakfasts this week.
I have to eat an Activia 0% fat vanilla yogurt everyday.

I need to have chicken everyday, either for lunch or dinner.
The only fruit I can eat are full oranges and pears.

I have started this weeks and I am feeling great already. I will stick to the walking in this beautiful weather for the day that I do not have Bootcamp!

Weigh In For Thursday 11th July

As I was busy all weekend (enjoying the sun) I am only getting a chance to post last weeks weigh in. The result was that I have lost 2lbs!!

Me & my baby at the Christening

I am delighted with this as I had my baby's Christening party which was fuelled with lovely food and wine! I did not stray from my eating plan though that night - it was only when I gave in and demolished a kebab later that week... but moving on from that it was a good week! I did however get my period for the first time since having baby so I'm only assuming that I was down a bit more but it did not show because of this! Time will tell at this weeks weigh in...

Chicken curry For dinner

Chicken salad for lunch

I am following the plan as best I can and I can honestly say that I started
noticing a difference in myself just after a few days. I am not as bloated as usual and I feel I have a lot more energy too. I am exercising most days like going for walks with the buggy and remembering to do my stomach exercises everyday. It helps too by writing down what I eat everyday. I'm looking forward to this weeks weigh as I am really after sticking to the plan so I will post Thursday.

Drum roll please....

So this morning I joined ONE2ONE weight loss. I had my first official weigh in which was...10 stone 4!! Meaning I am 9 and 1/2 pound heavier than my last weigh in before I got pregnant! Not a bad result at all considering how much weight I piled on during my first pregnancy. I do not have to lose nearly as much weight as I had to before... phew :-)
I will be going every Tuesday to be weighed. I have to admit that this new eating plan sounds really manageable especially to people that do not like to diet!
Heres a quick breakdown on the eating plan:



FOOD
 It's basically all about rotating the foods that you eat everyday, and there are lots of foods that I can eat. I can only eat red meat once a week so it's chicken and turkey and fish all the way!! All White foods are completely cut out!!ALL!! So I have stocked my cuboards with Soda Bread and Brown rice and brown pasta. I can only eat 2 slices of bread & 4 Brown crackers OR 1 brown Pitta bread in a day. I can have a 3 treats a week which would be a packet of walkers baked crisps or Manhattan popcorn. I have stocked up on low fat laughing cow cheese also and I can still eat Dairy gold butter. Happy days:)

DRINK
I need to drink 2 litres of water everyday which is completely do-able! I can also drink 2 bottles of wine a week - if I ever wanted to but I think the one will do as I don't drink much! I was told that wine is so full of sugar thats its best avoided anyway! For anyone that drinks beer or cider, 10 bottles of Coors ligh, Budweiser and Bulmers light are all within the weeks drink allowance.

EXCERCISE
And with all good eating plans it is advised to excercise at least 3 times a week. I joined a Bootcamp on Tuesday and so intend to stick with that and my walking with the buggy in the evenings.

A SAMPLE OF A WEEKS MENU BELOW

My next weigh in is Tuesday morning so I will post how I get on. I have every intention of sticking to this plan to a T.
