Fitness, health and weight loss
22 February, 2013
I’ve been following a new eating plan of late and I have lost some weight. However, it’s been hard to stick to and this week I don’t think I’m going to lose any weight.
So, for the up and coming week, I thought I’d share with you my menu plans and work out plans for the week and then during the week try to keep tabs on what I *actually* eat and what exercise I do, and compare at the end of the week.
I’m hoping to lose a kilo next week. We’ll see how that goes too. I’m 2kg down, 18kg to go in my weight loss goal for the year.

While I did keep a record for the first few days of everything I ate, it’s just not going to happen.
I’ve rearranged some things, dinners on different nights, for example. I’ve also worked out that I need more carbs than I was consuming on the THM plan (more about that in coming weeks) and so I was finding myself hungry at times. Sometimes I’d reduced everything too far – fat, protein and complex carbs – so that I always felt hungry.
I’ve stayed on track with my exercise for me, although my exercise with kids has been erratic due to the weather, sleeping babies and having to wait at home for tradesmen. I’ll try to give a better report at the end of the week, but it won’t be as comprehensive as I’d planned.
Snacks were my biggest challenge – I had to add more in as I was having issues with maintaining my milk supply. The meals I generally stuck with the plan, although later in the week I had some dinner left overs for lunch.
Exercise was hindered by rain, but I stuck to my plan generally although heat, humidity and digestive upset meant I didn’t get to do a DVD/game on Monday night.
No weight lost this week but I’m getting fitter and stronger!
