So weigh in number 2 today and it wasn't great news - no change. Could have been worse, could have been a gain, but still a little disappointing for week 2.
Now, I know I've been doing all the right things: been tracking my food, been to the gym 3 times, pilates twice, lots of dog walks and the school run on foot. So, I've had a look at my plan and have tweaked a few things.
Firstly, like I say I'm exercising a lot so am giving myself a bit of a break that I might have gained muscle.
Secondly, I don't seem to be losing anything from my middle and I'm wondering if that's my fruit consumption. I'm eating between 5 and 7 portions of fruit a day which is great but all that fructose is a sugar after all. And excess sugar converts into fat that tends to be stored round your middle (especially for us apple shapes!). So today I went and bought some veg to snack on instead of fruit and have cut it down to 3 pieces of fruit a day.
Lastly - I need to drink more water! I'm terrible at that and I know it. To ease the pain I've had a couple of herbal teas today as well as buying a litre bottle of water. Step away from Costa Coffee Mrs Gillard.
So, disappointing, but working on a better result next week.
I found I didn't loose any inches off my middle for about 6 weeks, it was the last place to come off. My boobs shrank in the first week, why is it not the other way round???? I looked very pregnant for about 2months as I lost weight everywhere apart from my tummy, which looked more and more pronounced.
ReplyDeleteDo you take sugar in your tea and coffee? I found reducing mine really helped.
