Sorry for my tardiness spike!

My apologies for the delay in posting, with me going away for a week I had one very very very busy week. I have so many things I want to post about this week that I will have to split it into several posts.

So to start, my exercise regime was very up and down last week which reflected in my measurements - only 1 cm of my waist and 1/2 a cm of my chest - that was all. This week has started with a renewed sense of get up and go, so hopefully combining this with some dietary changes will be a winner. I analysed my diet over the last week and came up with some interesting things that I didn’t realise I was doing. My main problem is over eating, I don’t eat badly, but I eat too much of a good thing, I also don’t take time to eat, I often skip breakfast so by the time lunch comes around I could eat a horse, and then I go out and try - to eat a horse that is, this leaves me overfull unsatisfied and tired and then another 7-8 hours later  I repeat the process. As a result of not taking the time to eat I often find that I am in a dreadful hurry to eat, this leads to me not really chewing my food properly as I gulp my way through my meals. Consequently the result is poor digestion and impaired uptake of nutrients and a feeling of yuk (a grand scientific word).

So what to do…well I have decided that my change of dietry habits like my exercise regime is going to be done at a more resonable pace I am not going to start cutting out food groups but I’m going to make some small changes every week and see how that goes. I have started this week by taking the time to sit down for every meal and chew properly - these two small changes mean I have already drastically cut down the amount of food I am consuming and its only been two days!!!

So over the next couple of weeks it will be small changes every week..wish me luck!

PS Thanks for the wake up call spike!

Good luck :-) Don’t be down on yourself regarding the small numbers, remember that you are still achieving a loss!!! I think that taking the time to sit down and eat especially not skipping your breakfast will have a huge impact on you positively in many different ways. I also think you may end up finding this hard as those rushing bad eating habits can be so very easy to slip back into when you are as busy as you are! So try hard to maintain this excellent new change and know that we are all behind you. Great to have you back as we missed your posts!!!
