This is the addictive stuff!
So, we are now well into the “New Year” and as statistics go, those of us who embarked upon a new diet and fitness regime, joined a gym etc, have fallen off the wagon! This year, I chose not to make this new year resolution (again!) Instead, I have decided to make a goal, as we say in coaching terms, and adjust my lifestyle slightly to become ‘nicer’ to my body, mind and health.
I don’t want to give up everything, to find I lose weight and yet put it all back on again as soon as I stop dieting and then add even more pounds. This is not living in a fulfilling way. Would anyone agree? Therefore, I’m not going to torture myself and am going to enjoy my food again. You up for that?
No food is banned, which means I can have whatever food I like, anytime I like. I shall eat healthily and eat a variety of fresh, tasty and where possible, homecooked and unprocessed food. I will let you know how I get on and I would absolutely love to hear from you on the website or on Twitter at @lellierennie if you would like to join me and forget about dieting. Let’s be kind and stop berating ourselves and start living!
I have also decided, as a big step, to stop purchasing magazines and compare myself to the air-brushed pictures inside. I have and never will look like the celebrities inside. I can look like a great version of me though; after all, at the age of 43, I am not going to look 23, am I?!
The first step then, is to cut back on the excess sugar I have been consuming and that is this week’s mission. Started the day with toast and marmalade (does that count as sugar?) and will have a salad for lunch and a homemade Cottage Pie for evening meal.
Good luck to everyone!
