Haha I warned you :P Well then, lets get on with this post then!! This is about how I have decided to try and turn my life around the REAL hard way!! Not even diets (as I am hopeless with diets, they don't like me and I don't like them). I will be trying to loose weight by simply doing what I should of been doing my entire life: eat properly, healthily and keep active!! Obviously sitting in front of my monitor up to 12 hours a day is NOT active so I need to drastically change this. Ontop of that, I snack on biscuits, chocolate and sweets!! So I am sitting on my big arse shoving food into my gob and not doing anything to burn it off!! Disgusting really. So I started this week to try and eat less crap and more healthy food, ie snacking on fruit rather than crap (that reminds me, veg too, I have carrots I wanna chop up for carrot sticks! No dip please) This means I will finally have to give up my kiddyness in buying kids cereals for breakfast and buy proper adult low fat ones with berries in them (I'm not complaining though, I bought some and it is YUMMY) Though I don't think I can ever eat Alpen. It smells like rabbit food!!
I have always been a chubby kid, and it slowly got worse as I ate my feelings and just ate out of boredom. In college, all I ate was crappy food, but the difference was that I didn't really eat anything else and my weight was up and down like a yo yo, one week loosing half a stone, the next putting it back on!! I lived off chocolate and red bulls basically, what a lovely healthy combo!! Now I am 22 I need to start looking after my body properly and the only way I can do that is healthy food and exercise! I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, I don't even eat red meat, only fish!! My probably is and always will be my snacking. My meals are pretty healthy I always have a good mix of protein veg and carbs its just the snacking!! Don't snack on crap kids unless you can work it off or you are lucky, like my boyfie, and don't put on weight!! Here is what snacking constantly all my life has done to my body:
Height: 5 foot 3 inches
Weight: 13 stone 2 pounds (appauling!!!)
BMI: 32.4 (OBESE)
Stomach: 40 inches
Bottom/Hips: 47 inches
Waist: 34 inches
One Thigh: 26 inches
One arm: 12 and a half inches
Pretty nasty right!! Thats what I get for just sitting on my arse and not doing anything!! I think my main problem is in inactivity as I eat fruit and veg a day and all the healthy stuff, just crap on top of it and no movement!! SO I am determined to get moving every day! From riding a bike, to doing an exercise video to just walking round window shopping (I am poor I need shoes!) just to get my out of the obese catagory at first then into healthy weight!! I have a lot of weight to shift but hopefully I will manage it with a healthy normal life style (no diets please! *fends off diets with a stick) and plenty of movement!!
As you have seen in previous blogs, I have been cycling so this is good, this week I have bike rode on Monday and walked round for a couple of hours round town and to the marina yesterday (you will see soon) and today another bike ride!! Not only is the movement good for me, but I get fresh air too!! Yay!
So I best be off now, I hope I didn't burn your eyes haha! I am going to make a healthy wholemeal sammich and then go for a bike ride with the boyfie and maybe some more footage!!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the follow! You're so sweet and it means tons to me! ♥
ReplyDeleteVery well done for taking these steps! You are doing great by starting off with these little changes :) I'm so glad to see you doing this, and it pushes me even further in my own journey!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck my darling!
PS. You have the most beautiful shape ever. When you become healthier, you will put the likes Marilyn Monroe and Beyonce to shame ;) x
i wish i had your womanly figure. I'm 16 but i still have a child's body XD I think it great how your doing something to get healthy.
ReplyDeleteI like playing games with other ppl like badminto its fun and social. I've found not taking money with me when i go on random walks stop me buying fizzy drinks and choclate XD I would lvoe to take up bike riding up, but im so paranoid of crashing into someone XD
thanks for commenting =). You're so brave for posting your almost naked body pics on the internet ^^ I have total respect for you *_* AND you have a nice hourglass shape =D
ReplyDeleteyes i'm from UK too, but northern ireland actually, believe it or not xP
I really admire that you're trying your best and setting goals for yourself. That and you're losing weight the right way. :)
ReplyDeleteMight I suggest P90X? It has a lot of exercise videos that are REALLY awesome. I tried Ab Ripper X in the series a couple times and it's just... so amazing. I really recommend it. There are some vids on YouTube. :D
Haha! Good that you go this one:) Rahs are the ones in the ugg boots and the tracky trousers and big hair and all they do is go around saying "rah, rah, rah," on their mobile phones.
ReplyDeleteBrave girl too. Go you!
This is great! I'm totally rooting for you. In high school, I was overweight and with the proper dieting and exercising, I lost about 20 pounds. Eat healthy, balance meals, drink lots of water. Lay off soda and just drink water or tea. Walking is a good start-off exercise. Also, if you love to sing, you can burn calories off that way too. Good luck to you! You can do it :D
ReplyDeleteHello lovely,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say that I know you can do it! I was a bigger girl until recently too. It's taken me 10 months to get from 70kgs to 55 and to get where I am now I started of by cutting sugar and carbs (well most carbs and starches (like crisps and mashed potato) with the exception of rice, because carbs contain lots of surgars!) out of my diet. I didn't have a meal plan or anything, but I made rules for myself. Like if dinner was going to be fish and chips, I'd have the fish but a salad instead of the chips, so I'd replace carbs and starches with a salad. Or if I was going to have spaghetti bolognaise I'd have just the bolognaise sauce and a salad with it. Instead of drinking sugary fizzy drinks all the time I switched to 0 sugar diet fizzy drinks (and believe it or not, there are some out there that you can't even tell are sugar free!
However, it's fine to have a little treat once a day and have a buiscuit or a slice of cake, don't think you can't indulge in a little bit of sweets now and then, nothing wrong with doing that!
Like you I went bike riding lots with my boyfriend, and another thing I did was go on walks. We'd go for a walk for an hour every day, or go swimming (which also burns heaps of calories). So the way I did it was just eat healthy, absoloutely no sugar and atleast an hour of excersize a day.
Anyways sorry for such a long comment, I just wanted to wish you luck and if you ever need any tips or support I'm more than happy to help :)
Love
Harlow

ReplyDeleteEdit: just got my dad to measure me i lied ive grown half an inch in height XD
You're welcome :) and thank you too :) Nah, I know chavs, all too well ;) Rahs are more uni student types, with that messy hair look, lots of foundation, uggs and trackys (no hoop ear rings:P). You are brave though, you deserve all the positive comments FOR SURE! :D
ReplyDeleteOh good on you miss!
ReplyDeleteIt's really inspiring that you've decided to give yourself goals for positive change!
I'm sure you can achieve them too, if you put your mind to it! (I know it sounds cheesy, but it's true. It's all in the mind).
Thank you for your lovely comment :)
Oh, and a nutella cake would be WONDERFUL (but I probably shouldn't say this, on this post should I? :P)
ReplyDeleteWow you're so brave I could never do that!
ReplyDeleteI am also on a weight loss/ health kick so I know what you're going through! I am trying to be more active I make myself walk almost everywhere and do 30 mins of boxercise a day at least. Good luck sweetie I'm sure you can do it =]
