Weight Loss Wednesday #3

Here's my Weight Loss Wednesday post (although a bit late!). I apologize for being naughty and missing the last WLW, I can explain. I was a very busy girl as I have just started a new job so the diet was put on hold while I settled down and got into a routine. I put on a couple of pounds but in the week that my diet has restarted I have lost some of the weight I gained so I'm getting there!

In my weigh in this morning I have put on 1 1/2 lbs bringing my total weight loss to 1 1/2 lbs.

My focus next week is to cut down my portion size. My new motto it 'little and often'. I think its better to eat snacks or small portions of healthy foods regularly rather than eating three big meals a day. I think that eating like this can make it easier for your body to metabolize the food.

My aim for next week is to try and motivate myself more because although I want to shift this weight badly, there is no motivation for me to stick to my diet when that choccy biscuit is staring at me, calling my name!
So i have decided to dig out some old photos of when I felt at my best. In doing this I am hoping that I will think to myself, "see you can do it!"

Another motivation for my weight loss is definitely my holiday in June. I'm going away with the boyfriend for our first holiday and I want to feel good in a bikini! I really want to buy all of the outfits that I like without thinking, "that will show my flab". So this will defo be a key motivator!

What have you been doing to motivate yourself? Let me know!

See you soon guys!

Weight Loss Wednesdays #2

The past week was my first week doing WLW and I think it helped motivate me quite a bit.

In a weigh in this morning I found that I have lost 3lbs.

Although I didn't reach my target weight loss I am still please with my result. 

So now I'm going to share with you what I have been doing this week in order to lose the weight and what I'm going to change in order to lose more.

For breakfast, a lot of bloggers say that they eat a bowl of Special K, so this is what I tried this week. I have about 30g of cereal with semi-skimmed milk and I think this helped cut out a lot of sugar and some fat out of my diet as before I was eating cereals like coco pops! 

For my lunches I have been trying to eat more salads because before I wouldn't even go near one! My mum suggested that I try a salad that she made up one day out of her favourite healthy stuff. I did and I love it! 

It's made up of cuscus, cucumber, sweet corn and then you can add anything you like; tomatoes, chicken, tuna, etc.

For my dinners I try to keep to a 600cal limit which I sometimes don't even reach! One of the best healthy dinners for me is jacket potato with beans and salad.

For next week I'm going to try to add some exercise into my routine as I didn't have the time this week so I'm hoping to lose a bit more.

I'm going to set my goal for next week as an optimistic 4lbs because I believe I can do it!

Weight Loss Wednesdays #1

I was reading some of the blogs I follow when I came across Jennifer, from Barely There Beauty, and her Weight Loss Wednesdays bloggers group.  This is a great idea for people who can join and motivate each other on their weight loss and fitness journey. To join just visit her blog for more details.

Recently I have lacked the motivation to lose my flab which is why I joined Weight Loss Wednesday. Today is a new day where I start my weight loss journey. I'm going to post my favourite healthy meals and exercises as well as weight loss tips. I have a holiday booked in June and plan to look absolutely hot so I'm going to set an aim each week for the amount of weight I want to lose in that week.

By next wednesday I aim to lose 4lbs.

I'm hoping to lose more but lets see how it goes. 

I plan to walk a lot more and do a lot more exercise. I don't like exercising so I'm going to look around and find a style of exercising that I enjoy. In my next #WLW post I will let you know what I've found.

So thats it for my first Weight Loss Wednesday post. Find out how my first week goes next wednesday!

See you soon guys!
