New beginning…again!

I was doing so well. What with our upcoming wedding in July. Last September I embarked on a journey to try and be healthier. I joined the gym and streamlined my diet.

It wasn’t too difficult to adapt my diet. I cook from scratch for the majority of the time. The biggest changes I had to make were to stop with the biscuits in the evening, cut down on portion sizes, cut out the wine/beer (which wasn’t often, but when I drink, I drink excessively) and stop eating my baking!

Going to the gym proved a little harder. Finding the time was the biggest problem. I would try and get in at least once a week and on a good week, I would get in 3 times. Each session would last about 30minutes.

In 6 months I lost 7lbs. I felt better, my clothes fit better, I felt beautiful in my new wedding dress, I bought some new clothes…

Then….

Corona virus hit! No work. No gym. Limited food supplies. Postponed wedding.

The gym was my motivation for exercise. I don’t go walking normally unless it’s to give the dog a walk, but that’s not far! My dog is super lazy!

My wedding was my motivation to keep my food habits healthy.

With the boredom setting in, all I seem to do is snack on all the wrong foods, I’m drinking again, not excessively or every day, but it’s not restricted to the weekend. And I’m not exercising.

So, feeling shit and bloated this morning, I decided to step on the scales…its been a while! And, to my absolute horror, in 3 weeks, I’ve gained back all 7lbs that I had lost..

So…on with the trackie bums (not that I’ve been out of them since this all began) and off for a walk with unsuspecting lazy rottweiler in tow!
