I hope you are all doing well and feeling good about the year to come.
AS many people have I've put on a considerable amount of weight this Christmas. Toooo many choccies and biscuits for Emily!
So I'm back ON IT!
My first port of call is sorting out my fitness regime. I'm already a member of a gym, so time to stop diddle daddling and get my ass to some classes. A goal is try as many new ones as possible this year: so yoga, pilates etc. Already tried spin, my bum hurt but it was well worth it.
So the plan is gym three- four times a week: Swimming, Body Combat, Spin and maybe yoga/zumba to shake things up!
Food is also a next massive priority, not necessarily cutting down on calories but cutting out the crap. This means eating god food and making better choices. To help me with this, I'm having a little challenge for myself. Basically I have to give up one thing a month and switch it for a healthier alternative. So first month is bread, shouldn't be too hard. See below for the years choices.
| Item | Month | Alternatives |
| Bread | January | Rivita |
| Cheese | February | Grapes |
| Chocolate | March | Strawberries |
| Crisps | April | Rice Cakes |
| Alcohol | May | Apple Juice |
| Chips | June | Jacket Potatoe |
| Eating Out | July | Home Cooked version |
| Donoughts/Pasteries | August | Fruit Salad |
| Pasta | September | Rice |
| Biscuits | October | Raisins |
| Puddings | November | Hot Chocolate |
| Mince Pies/Short bread/mini chocolates | December | Carrot Sticks |
I will try hard to keep to this but I know I may have to be flexible a little bit. We all know life has a funny way of surprising us.
Also got myself some new gym trousers. Hopefully these ones won't show my bum off when I do jump squats :D
I'm really going to try and blog every Wednesday :D Will see how it goes and will try read all of your amazing adventures.
WE CAN DO THIS.
Starting Weight: 13st 13lbs
