Ummmmmm.
I know that's what I'm meant to do, but I dont think I have the patience for it to go that slowly lol.
Even when I was working out regularly (well as regularly as I could*) I still felt like I had to change my food intake** a lot, and still it took like foreverrr to make a difference.
*My working out was like this: I used to aim to work out everyday, just because I knew that's not possible, because some days something just gets in the way, so I wouldnt take any days off on purpose, but it would just happen anyway.
So some weeks I'd work out 3 days, other weeks it'd be 4, or 5.
I do 40minutes on treadmill, alternating between running and high speed walking, then I'd do 20 minutes on the mini stepper, and do like 40 situps but try to do more if I could (be bothered
).
I need to incorporate free weight stuff too though this time.
**My food intake was like this:
Breakfast: 1ricecracker with peanut-butter
Lunch: Some kind of wholemeal sandwhich with lots of salad, may or may not be toasted/or sometimes pasta/ jacket potato.
Dinner: Rice & curry
Snacks:Cornckackers/watercrackers/low fat soft cheese
The only thing that used to change was lunch, it was so boring. I had to have rice like everyday cuz my mum shouts if I dont
. I never used to be that hungry at brek anyways and I like ricecrackers with pb, but also I used to think if I have any higher calorie stuff I'll have to work out more.
But considering I didnt eat that much, (it's really like 2 meals and some snacks), and did as much excercise as I could it still felt tlike it took me ages to lose a bunch of weight.
So I'm thinking that maybe cuz all my meals are starch based, maybe taking it out is what's gonna make the difference? Plus I think lack of bread, potatoes and pasta will kinda force me to eat more variety and more vegetables and maybe I wont find it so boring?
I'll see how it goes iA
