I can’t believe that it’s been over 2 months since I last
went to the gym. After Malta I got sick, then I had exams, then I was sick
again and then?? Then I found other excuses! I’ve always struggled with weight.
Since I was 12 years old I have been on like a million diets. I think that I
have tried everything. A few years ago someone gave me a book “fit for life”
that’s changed my life. I am not saying that it was easy, but I lost weight,
felt better and didn’t put on double of weight after a short break. I did a
great job before because I changed my whole life style. But lately I have been
very naughty. It was extremely tough when I ran for 3 minutes on the treadmill
today, of course! I am out of shape!!! I
have been feasting like crazy in past 2 months! Today is the day I am starting
with “fit for life” style!
My lunch! Instead I could have eaten properly combined sandwich ( toasted whole grain bread, butter, tomato, avocado, cucumber and lettuce).
Well, I started right after the gym this morning. I
went to a local shop where I bought loads fruit and veggies that should keep me
going for a while. I will try to post about what I eat and cook. Feel free to
ask for whichever recipes you want and take a look at the energy ladder I
copied from the book. Fingers crossed, it’s summer after all!
The Energy Ladder:
A.M.
- fresh fruit and fruit juices, fresh vegetable juices & salads, steamed vegetables, raw nuts, seeds
P.M.
- grains, breads, potatoes, legumes, meat (chicken, fish), dairy
