It has been challenging 12 months and it will be fair to say that I have let myself not focus on my wellbeing. Luckily the storm seem to be over. My DH had his all clear.
I need to pick up the pieces and rebuild my happiness. I have partial success in some areas as getting back to exercise/moving more. Eating little better most of the time. Promotion in work. After multiple surgeries DH is back to playing tennis and feeling positive about the future. Trying to further his career and put the storm behind.
I did the right thing to focus on his recovery and my family. But now I can't use that as excuse any more. I need to move on and take ownership of my health - and the weight I gained last year and half
I tried few times to just get back to my old ways at once and honestly it didn't work. That's why I will deal with change one by one. Pound by pound. One new are goal every 2/3 weeks
I tried few times to cut added sugars, but while trying to focus on doing it while working out both lifting and cardio/long walks it gets little overwhelming and I end up burning myself out by Thursday. I will take a short break from the gym and reduce my walks little
First goal - focus on diet. Less meals out. No added sugars. Whole foods - veggies, fruit, dairy, meat, fish, wholegrains. 1700 calories a day on my fitness pal. 90/10 rules - 10% of my meals to be whatever I want within reason
Cut walks to 10000 steps daily for first 5 days only. Give the gym a very short break.
weight to go - 10kg.
