Over the years of my life I've done different diets. I've realised that blogging or writing journal entries about my dieting really helps. Maybe it can help others too, as I intend to share tips and things I learn. At the moment I'm doing Slimming World and incorporating healthy eating and exercise for the whole family.
Of course exercise comes in many forms, and for children it's got to include fun activities too.
I use the word "diet" loosely herein, just as a shorter word to describe a healthy lifestyle.
This is my diet blog post for re-starting Slimming World. I may change over time, but for now I've discovered that SW really is the best way forward towards a healthy lifestyle. It's basically just healthy eating. With SW you can lose and maintain weight, and retain a healthy brain too. Eating better -eating right- means putting things into your body that contributes to your whole self, overall. Combined with exercise in many enjoyable forms, SW really is the best option.
And of course to begin with I'm on a path towards reaching my goal weight AGAIN. Then when I'm at a healthy weight for my height I can add treats to my diet, if I so choose. But the great thing about SW is that I don't crave bad things as there are so many healthy options.
The mind-set helps too.
I did SW back in 2016 I weighed 16 stone at 5'6.5" and I lost 1 stone per month. I really went for it. I exercised daily. I was surprised at how much food there was. I never went hungry. I was motivated because my mind was determined and I felt rewarded and healthier every time I stepped on the scales. When I fit into smaller clothes it made me proud of myself.
Then in 2017 my life had new changes and I stopped doing SW. It took 2 years following that, but by not exercising or dieting I managed to gain back nearly all the excess weight I'd lost. So it does take longer to gain weight. And now I know how fast the weight can be lost and then maintained, from now on.
Lately I research recipes daily. I concentrate on exercising in many forms. I've actually injured myself twice already thinking I could just go back into the level of exercising I used to do at my most toned and slim weight. I've learnt that was a mistake and I'm slowing down again. And the great thing about SW is I can do just that. The weight loss takes effect with just the eating habits. Exercise just greatly speeds up weight loss.
I write novels and it can be a very sedentary lifestyle. So I've got a standing desk again and a treadmill I can hop onto at least once a day. There are other activities I enjoy that I do with my children as well. And I've incorporated healthy eating for them too. It's so much fun for me now. I love feeling healthy and active. My brain works better. My outlook on life is more positive. I'm ready to do this right and blogging my diet helps. I used to keep a SW blog before, and it helped then too.
