For the past couple of weeks operation 'lost the pregnancy weight' has not been going to plan. I had lost about half a stone and then sort of plateaued (which is ok as the weight was staying off). Then disaster hit. I've been feeling a bit out of sorts over the past few weeks and as such haven't had much of an appetite which has meant I haven't really fancied troughing on junk food much. The disaster has been the return of my appetite. An appetite that has been craving the three dreaded c's - carbs, cheese and chocolate. Due to recent visits from the easter bunny we've had chocolate in the house and I haven't shyed away from eating as much as I can without breaking into my husband's eater egg. I also haven't shyed away from eating delicious garlic bread, potatos, enchiladas, pasta, sandwiches all with a generous helping of cheese. My portion sizes have increased pushing my waistline with it. Now I am not going to get overly dramatic about it, after all it has been a real treat not to calorie count but I was a little upset to see an extra 2 pounds on the scales this morning.
I want to get back on track. I did a three mile walk yesterday and intend to walk more. Unfortunately an 8 month bout of sciatica following my c section is somewhat limiting my ability to do much other exercise but with some physio (finally got referred by the GP) in the next month, I am hoping to be able to move and exercise more without wincing in pain.
I am also going to make changes to my diet. Having scoffed my way through 3 easter eggs there is no more chocolate around and I am planning to go back to limiting my carb and cheese intake.
I am planning to drink more water and eat more fruit and veg.
This weight will come off!
