I have now been on my diet for just under a month now and I have currently lost 4 pounds, which was mostly christmas weight anyway I think! I am currently not at an unhealthy weight and my BMI is 22.1 which is in the 'Healthy' catagory (18.5 - 24 is considered normal). But I personally would like to lose a few more pounds and tone up my body. I also think that eating clean and healthy foods will help to improve my skin and increase my energy levels, which can never be a bad thing.
Currently my mum and sister are following their own healthy eating diets, which means that it will be much easier for me to lose some weight too. I think that is one of the nice things about having close relatives is that you can support and motivate each other maybe when they are feeling low. They currently have their own health goals and none of ours are the same, which I think is a very important thing to remember when starting a health and fitness journey that everyone is different and every body will react to different things in different ways.
Due to me being at sixth form 5 days a week 8am-4pm I have to try and balance, school work, eating well and working out. This means that a lot of planning and organising goes into cooking and preparing my meals the night before and some times a few days in advance and my mum usually cooks the family meals for us every night so I like to take the responsibility of sorting my breakfast, lunch etc for myself.
I would also like to say these are my personal goals and what I think will fit around my lifestyle and what I think will be best for my body, by no means am I a professional and I am not saying this is what you should do, this is my opinions only. I also know that weight can be a very sensitive topic so please be considerate towards everyone. Here to spread positivity and motivation only.
My goals are:
On weekdays eat 5/6 small, healthy meals a day
On a weekend allow myself a cheat meal
Drink 2/3 Litres of water per day
Do atleast 30 mins of exercising per day
No fizzy drinks
Get plenty of sleep
I think one of the main things I must tell myself when doing this plan is to not let myself get too weighed down and upset if I do slip up one day throughout the week and must remember that we are all only human. And most importantly I want to make this a lifestyle change for me, I want to be happy doing it and not feel like its a 'diet', because it isn't, its a healthy change for the better.
I may make a more in-depth post (or video) if wanted about the types of foods that I am/ planning on eating and some of the exercise that I will do. If you would like this please leave a comment letting me know, you can also contact me on Instagram by commenting on my photos or sending me a DM and I will be happy to answer.
