The last few weeks have seen my weight go up and down, up and down.
I am tired of it.
I know the cause of it all - bad eating.
I know how to stop it - better eating.
So yesterday I sat down and actually wrote out a weekly menu plan for myself. Considering I usually have the same or similar things for breakfast and lunch, it wasn't that hard. This meal plan caters to my tastes and my style of needing something to eat quickly. I really hate having to take ages to prepare a meal - unless it is for a special occasion and there's none of them around.
Now all I have to do is follow the plan and watch portion sizes.
Breakfasts will be either Berry Bruschetta or cereal with scrambled eggs on the weekend.
Morning snacks will be fruit.
Lunch will be a sandwich, homemade vegetable soup or a treat on the weekend ie pancakes.
Afternoon snack will be nuts or a muesli bar.
Dinner will come from either 12wbt or my Symply Too Good cook books and will alternate between beef/lamb and chicken. We don't eat a lot of fish - not really a fan of the taste.
There will also be dessert - a yogurt or something from the Symply Too Gook books (but only once or twice a week).
I have even got little boxes on the plan for water intake. Maybe, just maybe, having to tick off a box will encourage me to drink more water.
I have also written on the plan what exercise to do each day. Again alternating with cardio (walking the block) and toning stuff.
Once I get to under 100kgs I will start going to the pool to exercise - but I need to get a routine fixed in my head for that. I'm told there's plenty of youtube videos that can help in that respect.
So plan is printed - now to stick it on the fridge.
