Good beginnings

The first week back at work is over and finally the jet lag seems to have receded. Along with the return to work came a return to the low carb diet that had been so successful 18 months ago.

In the intervening time I’ve put on about 8lb, and am determined to shift these and a stone more. So out go the pies and chips and chocolate and in comes the protein and salad. So far, so good and I don’t feel too hungry. The plan is to do this for 2 weeks as strictly as possible,  then to start some light exercise. I already feel much better for eating healthily. Cutting the majority of sugar out of my diet definitely suits my body and helps with my Polycystic Ovaries. Taking up some exercise is also going to improve this.

I’m planning to keep the exercise and a weight-losing carb maintenance plan going until mid-March. I should then be able to get a view on how much I’ve lost and how far there is to go. And then have a few days being a bit more relaxed while I swan around in New York celebrating my belated 10-year wedding anniversary.

Time for change

Lo-carb

So, after much prevaricating, the time has come to try to do something about losing weight.

This is the first week of the low carb eating plan and it’s been interesting so far! I think I’m doing OK with the food and the hunger pangs, though my craving for something sweet is driving me a bit mad. And I haven’t quite given up the alcohol fully – a work-do-thing midweek made that difficult, so I’m easing into that one next week 🙂
