Two Months Update

We're just past 2 months and on a weight situation, I'm at 68 kgs. I have also lost some inches, though I'm not sure how much and from where. I do feel better and am continuing with about 6 days of exercise a week.

I'm actually posting now, because it's been 2 or 3 weeks since I've had a meal replacement shake, which has led to some confusion around dinner. I figured I should post a revised food path on here, to remind myself to eat enough, and eat well. Primarily because over the past week, I've made some bad choices every day. The main reason for the bad choices is because I didn't have healthy snacks at home, and we had unhealthy snacks :)

The new rules:

1. Breakfast - within 30-45 minutes of waking up. Preferably something like oats, if not 2 slices of bread with some veggies, or fruit, and milk.

2. Mid-morning snack/Lunch - sandwich/salad/cooked meal with simple carbs if required.

3. Mid-afternoon snack - sandwich/fruit smoothie. Fruit bowls may not be a great idea because of high sugar fruits.

4. Dinner - ideally only veggies, if it must involve a simple carb, it should be chappatis, brown rice or some such 'healthy' carb.

General Snacks - raisins, fruit, walnuts, almonds, carrots, fruit yoghurt. Buy each week!

The exercise part is still going well. The times I don't feel like exercising are when I'm hungry or tired, so a small snack before the exercise usually works well. I find that with the walk/jog, I have an inertia issue. If I jog and stop, I rarely feel like starting again. So I'm going to try jogging for extended periods of time (like 15-20 minutes) instead of breaking up the jog with walking. This week (on Monday 21st) I jogged for 2 five minute intervals in 30 minutes of walking and must confess that I couldn't start the 3rd interval. On the flip side, I had no knee pain at all after!

A general update would be? That it's going well with some slips here and there. I'm waiting for a while before I try on clothes, but I'm sure that it's going to be a fun experience soon! Maybe on or around 20th April :)
