Today I came to the realisation that I've really not been doing very well at this whole dieting thing, so I went back and counted to see exactly how bad I've been, these are the results:
Days where I was under my calorie limit: 5
Days where I was over my calorie limit: 14!!!
And this is when I am TRYING to be good. I suck at this :/
The weekends don't help, but they wouldn't be such a big deal if I was actually sticking to it during the week, but I did really badly last week and the week before that. I only have 3 weeks left so I need to get serious otherwise I'm going to end up the same weight as I am now, looking like a sack of potatoes wrapped in latex.. sexy.. not!
I am going to try really hard to stick to my calorie limit all this week and hopefully I can shift a kg by next week. The weekend is going to be a big one, so I need to make sure I behave until then so that it doesn't mess me up too much.

I have not been particularly good either and have lost exactly zero kilos. The culprit - alcohol! Not only does it contain empty kilojoules, my restraint goes out of the window after the first drop. If I could stop drinking I'd likely drop a bit. Still trying to find the right balance!
ReplyDeleteYeah that's one of my main problems too, it's a hard one though because realistically I'm not going to be giving up drinking any time soon so I have to work out a way around it.. or just try to drink less :/
