So I fell off the wagon this week. I could blame it on lots of things - primarily sleep deprivation. But really I just lost my organisation around my eating. I didn't have my salad prepared (D went back to work so I wasn't making for him, so lost the motivation to make for me) for lunch. I was eating my meals too late as I was getting everyone else fed first, so with hunger, I made bad food choices (easy and quick, rather than healthy but requiring preparation).
I have put on about 300 gm as a result. Not a lot thank goodness, but I am more disappointed in falling off my program, rather than the actual weight gain.
Running through my head .. "Maybe you can't do this Jane", " Maybe you will need to go back to JC"...
I realised that I am doing this alone, apart from you readers. And I read in the paper today that you are more successful with any goal if you have a partner to help you (keep you motivated, help you get back on track etc).
So - blog audience, you will need to keep me on track please!
I need to be careful and conscious with my food choices.
Specifically actions to help me:
1) Make my lunch when I make the kid's lunch boxes- then it is ready whenever I get a chance to grab it
2) Cut up snack foods and have at ready.
3) (Do I dare?) Put a before shot of me (not yet taken as I will cry) on the fridge and pantry door. Maybe at this time I will print out the quote below rather and stick on the fridge/pantry - more empowering.
One good thing - have booked into four pilates classes for next two weeks. I did one last week - the me time alone was wonderful. But also I loved the strengthening of my back and core. I have got separated stomach muscles from the pregnancy so I have to take it easy.
Wish me well, support crew .... update in a week.
