Day Two

I've decided not to weigh myself until the end of the week, and although I'm not going to disclose my weight, I'll let you know what I've lost. 

Last time, I fell into a trap of weighing myself on the hour! Any chance I'd get I'd hop on the scales and tell myself "Ok well if I don't eat and go for a run now then I'll loose another pound", or if I'd put some weight on I'd be so cross at myself and starve myself as punishment (forgetting that although I was loosing weight, because of my gym regime, I was putting on muscle!)

Top Tip Number Two: Beware of the scales!

As you know, I headed out the night before last, and while alcohol is supposed to be a no-no, I drank vodka with a dash of blackcurrent, and didn't do any shots in the club. We tend to over look alcohol sometimes when dieting, after all it's only liquid, right? Well, it may shock you to know that there are 209 calories in a single Jager Bomb!

Top Tip Three: Be mindful of your drink choices.

So yesterday was a bit of a lazy day! I may or may not have gotten up at 4pm...

I didn't go to the gym today, instead I decided to try out Vicky Paittison's DVD, 7 Day Slim.

I'm not gonna lie, it was feckin hard, not only the workout, but having to listen to that accent! You'd definitely have to have some level of fitness built up before starting the DVD. I'm also very unflexible. They do an "easy" and difficult version of each workout, but I don't think there's much of a difference to be honest! There both pretty hard.

It's only a 10 min work out, that you do everyday for 7 days. While that sounds easy, it's a grueling 10 mins!



That said, it obviously worked for her. Tomorrow, back to the gym!

Last night, I went for dinner with Stephen to Jo Burger (yum!) I love Jo Burger! I know it might seem a little strange to be going out for dinner when trying to loose weight, but as I've said before this is not a diet, it's lifestyle change.

Instead of banning yourself from going out and enjoying yourself, just make some simple swaps. For example, in Jo Burger, you can opt for sweet potato fries, instead of regular fries. Or instead of getting a burger in the bun, you can opt for "nude", "half nude", or even have it in a tortilla.

You'll never stick to a healthy lifestyle if you deny yourself doing the things you love.

Breakfast: Melon, a handful of blueberries, and a yoghurt.
Lunch: 3 Crackers with medium cheddar cheese.
Dinner: "The Dobson": cheese, beef burger with tomato relish and rocket, half nude with a side of sweet potato fries.
Drinks and Snacks: Hot water with lemon, water.
