Consume wholemeal bread only once a day.
Swap to better carbs and lower carbs for lunch or dinner.
No 'sharing' crisps, cakes or chocolate bars with my daughter!
Eating smaller portions.
January 2016 - Fitness - Steps to take this month
A note about fitness. Before I had my daughter I regularly exercised at least 3 times a week. This went down to zero until just recently when I reinstated some of my gym equipment at home after 4 house moves!
Investigate how to schedule in (around looking after my daughter) 2 different exercise classes at the local leisure centre.
Use equipment at home once a week.
Progress Report - January 2016
Weight is now 63kg - although average body-fat has reduced from 37.5% to 36%.
All diet swaps and dietary changes made. I have only broken these on two occasions!
Gym membership not workable, so I have chosen to add another piece of equipment to my home gym.
I have felt that many of my clothes feel a little looser already, despite the fact that I have not undertaken any formal exercise. I feel less bloated.
February 2016 - Diet - Steps to take this month
A note about diet. I only eat meat once or twice a week already. I tend to eat fish 3 or 4 times a week.
Omit high fat cheese altogether and swap to low-fat when necessary. N.B. I spent most of January without cheese at all!
Swap ordinary potatoes to sweet potatoes.
February 2016 - Fitness - Steps to take this month
Undertake interval training (quick bursts of high energy exercise for around 10-15 minutes) 3 times a week on my home gym.
