Well, I made it. The month has been filled with challenges. Here are some points of interest:
- I feel about 100% fitter than when I started
- I am about 3kg lighter
- I've lost around 16-20cm altogether
- I did not stick to my diet plan the whole 30 days
- Two of the weekends I was away and ate bad
My basic method for dieting is a fairly simple "low carb" diet. Low carb diets have taken some flack over the years, but I am well researched, and they make sense to me. I am not a freak and I still eat fruit and veges etc. I restrict all processed sugars and flours. The only other things I don't really eat are potatoes and bananas.
I surprise myself (and others) with how little I actually
"NEED" to eat, when I am eating quality foods, and small amounts of protein in each meal.
I have been feeling healthy and lean. Since the weekend and our time in the City, I have been eating quite badly. I mean, sugar, flour, bread, potato, mcdonalds - that kind of bad. (lucky I'm an honest person!). I actually feel really sick, I'm bloated, nauseated, light headed, lethargic, tired and feeling generally sick. It goes to show what healthy eating does.
So back to business tomorrow I think.
I am still after a much bigger personal victory with this - cause my unhealthy eating just shows that given the right circumstances, my humanity is unreliable in making good food choices. I LONG to be healthy and fit - for the rest of my life... so this journey is not over.
I'm thinking about doing a detox next week.... any ideas on a suitable one? And don't worry, I'm pondering a new health and fitness goal.
To be continued...
