Well, this week has been tough, challenging but upto now, i can keep this up and liking the new diet. Each morning ive been having weetabix and all bran, with a small lunch and dinner, all within my points, and having a few snacks inbetween as well.
Im going to try and do the 40pro points diet with weight watchers, which means i have 40 point limit to eat each day. I have gone over once, which was the first day by 5 points, which was 5 jaffa cakes! Since then i have always finished level or under my point balance.
Points can also be converted to calories, which my diet would be a 1600calorie a day diet, for a man they reccomend between 2000-2500 calories a day. So by cutting down the calories, im eating less than i am needed, but still eating a good balanced diet as well. Eating 3 meals, having snacks and also drinking more water as well.
I went into the gym on wednesday, and it kinda killed me thursday. I was working a 12hour shift thursday so didnt go in. and was planning to go in on friday after work, but i was so hungry, i opted against it, as you cant exercise on a empty stomach. So i went shopping instead.
Our weekly food shop, is usually one of mine and janettes favourite expierences of the week. Usually janette picking up lots of bad unhealthy stuff, and followed up by the word "NO!!!" from me, bit like a mum telling off there kids in the toy shops when they want something which they cant have! One time, Janette put a bag of minstrels in the trolley, when she wasnt looking, i chucked them back out at the checkout whilst emptying the trolley. She is kinda determinded to find fat free but full of flavoured choclate and sweets, but unfortunatly some bright spark just hasnt invented it yet.
But this week, i went shopping to morrisons on my own, with my list in pocket and my emtpy stomach in full flow, i then proceeded to pack the trolley full to the top with, nearly everything healthy!!!!
