It's been a little while since I last blogged but I really felt like blogging today so here we are. :-)
Since
coming back from our epic holiday it's been difficult to get motivated
again with my weight loss journey. Especially after trying all those
sugary treats in America! Couldn't help myself. haha
Hey, I was on holiday and wanted to enjoy myself! So that I did.
I
put on 4lbs when I went away but I'm pleased to say I am finally back
on it and have lost the 4lbs I put back on plus another 4, so that's a
total of 8lbs since being on holiday. Which feels great, granted it's
taken ages but that's not the point. I'm going down and not up!
I am also pushing myself to workout 6 days a week at the moment and do more cardio. Working out every day
is definitely helping me want to stay motivated. Exercise just makes
you feel great, move your body a little bit and see how much better you
feel.
MY DIET
So,
you might be wondering if I am still doing the Keto diet right now and
the answer is no not right now. Why? because I am obsessed with fruit
at the moment and fruit will kick you out of ketosis.
I am still keeping the carbs and sugar low as much as I can, so in general i am eating healthily but i
have a sweet tooth at the moment so I normally make myself a smoothie. I
LOVE smoothies right now, they are great if you are really craving some
sweet treats. Also, they are filling so win-win!
If you're interested this is my normal day to day food that I eat right now:
Breakfast:
2 boiled eggs OR natural Greek yoghurt with fruit and tiny bit of oats for some crunch.
Lunch:
Normally a salad without meat right now.
Snack:
Fruit
Dinner:
Half a chicken breast and a pouch of steamed veg.
Snack:
Smoothie - I buy the frozen smoothie fruit from Aldi or just freeze your own fruit. Mix with tiny bit of squash and some water. Boom!
HOW I GOT MYSELF MOTIVATED AGAIN
I
was finding myself not caring what I was eating again and to tell you
the truth it scared me. I quickly realised that I was eating when I
wasn't hungry and just because I was bored which is what I have been
trying so hard to stop.
But because I am conscious of it now luckily, I was like, err wtf you doing bitch?! SORT YOUR LIFE OUT LOVE. Don't throw all of that HARD work down the drain because you're bored? Wtf.
Also, I was feeling quite low and depressed and the reason was because deep down I knew I was slowly fucking myself up again.
Sounds silly but I follow some really inspiring weightloss transformation women on instagram so I was scrolling through their feed and it was helping me alot
and to want to carry on. It was inspiring me and I suggest doing that
if you struggle with motivation sometimes. Some 400lb women turn their
life around and are now like 150lbs, if they can do it surely i can?! Must have been 10x harder for them than me, right?!
You
see, sometimes you just get so caught up in your own mind you forget
where you were and where you were heading. Sometimes you need to just
STOP. Look at yourself, have a good few words with yourself which is
literally what I did by the way. I was like what the actual fuck is
wrong with you. Stop being a total twat and get back on this journey of
changing your life you fucking idiot. I know I sound like I am being harsh to myself but trust me it's what I needed. haha!
And the truth is I would be a fucking idiot if I just chucked all of this hard work down the drain.
RIGHT NOW
I'm
doing good, I feel like I am healthier and happier so that' all that
matters. I am motivated and I have my goal weight for this month stuck
on a sticky note on my monitor so that every day when I work at my desk I
can see it right in front of me and not give up.
I was the goal hitting queen before I went on holiday so I can do it again!
You can achieve
anything if you really want to. Never give up, there is no point in
giving up because you're not going to get anything out of it. In the
words of the inspiring Will Smith - 'Only do what is in your best interest.'
Keep going!
