So my ‘getting on with it’ tactics include:
Food - calorie counting made easy, done for you and delivered to your door step - I have decided to give the Health Factory a go at providing me with the nutrition guidance I need for this mammoth task. Every day I will get a green cooler bag of joy that will contain 3 meals and 3 snacks that have been nutritionally balanced and calorie counted in order to provide me with the total intake of calories I need per day to keep up with my hectic life and lose that weight. The menus look fantastic, if you can eat cherry cheesecake and still lose weight - I am in! With this you get around 3 choices for every meal and up to now the meal plans that I have seen have left me spoilt for choice. I love food and lots of it, but, I obviously have a lot to learn and lots of old habits to get myself out of.
Exercise/Activity - I think I am kind of allergic to exercise so I am going to refer to it as activity from here on. This can include a walk along the beach, a swim, table tennis and squash with my ridiculously competitive friend, a session with a personal trainer, a yoga class or even the Davina McCall workout DVD that I got last Christmas that has gathered dust ever since.
About Me
- Miracle Girl
- Getting close to 90kg's was the breaking point, long overdue, but now necessary as I am not prepared to be overweight when I turn 30! I have been living in Dubai now for 1 year and am surrounded by beautiful people, gym bunnies and lots of humans whose job it is seems only to be drop dead gorgeous! If I am not eating out with friends, I am socialising with colleagues and both of those occasions usually involve more than a couple glasses of wines, perhaps a bottle of vodka and a shot of sambuca or 2 for good measure. I am on a mission to get my 18 yr old figure back and at 26 I feel that this is a mission that is totally possible. At 18, I slipped a disc in my back that went undiagnosed for 4 years and in this 4 years, as I slowed down due to immobility and pain, over ate feeling sorry for myself - I gained nearly 4 stone. Now I am a 89kg and am writing this blog in an effort to monitor my success and keep me on track to reach that goal - realistically I need to lose 20kg to be within my BMI range. 3 main factors will have a bearing on the how quickly I can achieve this goal: What I am eating, how much booze I am drinking and the exercise I am doing. Let's get on with it
