You might have read my posts about doing insanity over the
summer. I managed to lose a bit of weight, and tone up a little in the process,
but since I stopped I’m been a couch potato…Cake, chocolate and crisps have
taken over from apples, nuts and yoghurt so I’m entering the winter with a rather
large tyre that I want to get rid of. Sure it’s going to be useful when the
weather gets even colder, but I would rather stick on an extra jumper if I need
to.
Yesterday was the first day of a healthier me (I’ll believe it
when I see it- Until they open a cake rehab I’m not sure I stand much chance!).
I’m trying not to use the word diet as I tend to never stick to them. Instead I’m
going for a healthy approach (With the occasional treat so I don't go mad!)- Definitely easier said than done! Especially as
this week is both chocolate and baking week!...But I’ll make it! I’ve stocked
up on some healthy food to get me through this first week, and plan on making lunch to take to uni with me so I won’t be tempted by a cheese loaded Panini
at the café. I’m also signing up for some exercise classes at the Uni gym because the membership is so cheap- under £50.00 for a 3 month
membership! I’m going to start with 2 classes a week, total body conditioning
and zumba, and I’m hoping to take my bike out at least once a week to start
with as well! The poor little thing has been in the garage since I got it…So
much for “I need to buy a bike right now, I’ll use it all the time. It’ll be a
really good investment.” What I should of said was “I’ll look at it every time
I go into the garage and use the washing machine and feel insanely guilty about
not riding it yet!” Oops! …I WILL use it now though!
Just because I’m trying to be a bit healthier doesn’t mean I’ll
stop with the recipes. I’ll still upload my favourite full fat versions, but I’m
also going to try and do some “Skinny” versions so like me you can have a
treat, and not feel like you need to spend a solid week on the treadmill- Let’s
face it, we’ve all got better things to do!
So I’ll keep you updated on my progress, and feel free to
update me on yours If you’re also on a pre-winter/Christmas health kick!
