Since just after Christmas I have been on a health kick, nothing too serious but a conscious decision to eat less rubbish and to exercise just a little more. I felt that after Christmas I was just carrying a little bit too much weight and I could certainly see that I was more rotund than usual.
So, fast forward to the end of March and I am approaching almost two stones of weight loss. Now I haven’t been on any silly diet plans, I have merely cut out things such as chocolate, crisps, very fatty foods etc. I have cut down my portion sizes to something less akin to a giants feast, cooked using lots of fresh vegetables and snacked on fruit when peckish. As an occasional treat I’ve had a takeaway, or something else equally bad for me.
I feel fantastic. I have more energy than I did previously, I am sleeping better and I am noticeably less tired than I’ve ever previously felt.
However the major drawback is that my clothes do not fit anymore. My work shirts and suits hang off me when I wear them and my jeans are a touch too baggy. Still, it is a (not so) small price to pay. Another 1/2 stone or so to go and then I can go shopping for some new clothes.
