So anyone who’s read my blog in the past will know that I’ve been trying to get into shape for some time…sadly I love food and lack motivation so it’s no easy feat!
Maybe you’ll finally be pleased to hear me report some progress, since the last time I about getting fit (P90x) I have actually lost about 20lb and it’s been almost without trying!
First things first…the initial weight loss was over a 2 month period so it’s not as extreme as it may sound…and I’ve maintained the same weight for about 2 months so far 
…all I’ve done is replace rice/pasta/bread with wholemeal…I make all of my own sauces for meals rather than using jars (you wouldn’t believe how much sugar is in those) and I try to just eat soup for my lunch at work…saves the pounds in your pocket as well as around the waistline. Portion control really is a key factor too…I still eat takeaways (possibly too often) but I don’t try to eat the whole thing…once over I would have easily polished off a whole curry, bhaji, naan and all…now I pretty much half everything…at first it was still hungry but now I actually get full before I finish! finally my stomach has gone back to an acceptable size (such a gannet).
As well as trying to eat a bit more healthily I try and get out for a run when I can…unfortunately my severe dislike of the cold and love for warm places and bad TV have hindered this over the winter but I’m heading back out in the morning and hopefully it’s going to become a regular thing again…so if you see me looking sweaty and awful around the Mowden area tomorrow I apologise, It’s my first run in weeks (excuses) just give me a little encouragement…I’ll need it.
Long ramble short…eat less, exercise more, now why didn’t anyone else think of that?
