Well today is day 30! It's been an eye opening experience and I've learnt a lot about specific foods and more importantly, foods that don't agree with me. I've also realised how mentally tough I really am.
Cravings for processed foods, especially sweet treats have diminished, however, once in a while I will treat myself to a Danish pastry 🤣
Before I started this program, I had a tin of chickpeas sitting in the cupboard that must have been there for six months. Now I'm eating a tin or two a week. Oven cooked Kale has become a keen favourite along with aubergine (never thought I'd be typing that) and quinoa, which, I didn't even know what is was until this program started. Still no coffee or tea, just hot water with a slice of lemon.
I still need to improve on my exercises and food planning, and will be adding these to my daily challenges.
So, since day 1 I have lost 24lbs, just over 2 inches off my waist and hips and 1.5 inches off my chest. I have so much more energy, enthusiasm and concentration day-to-day. And my clothes are feeling baggy. My goal now is to improve my muscle mass.
I will continue this healthy lifestyle, as I can't see myself going back to the old me, not even for Christmas 🤣 and who doesn't love Christmas treats!
For anyone on the start of thier journey, stick with it! You'll be glad that you did!
The picture shows my lunch from today and I'm going to try curry recipe tonight 😋
