It's All In The Diet

Morning lovely people. It is a glorious day here, the sun is shinning, the birds are singing... it puts me in such a  good mood... I truly LOVE the sun! 

So far this week things have been going well apart from one area... my diet... my food at the moment is 100% bad and I am holding my hands up to it... as well as the extra lbs showing on the scale. As mush as I would like to say it's not my fault it obviously is as I am the one that puts the food in my body... however.... I am in a bit of a corner at the moment. We are at the end of the month and funds are beyond limited, we are eating up what we have got in the freezer and the cupboards... all the veg went ages ago.. even the frozen veg and now we are down to carbs, carbs and more carbs.... last night I had a plate of pasta with cheese grated on top... not good, not good for a diet at all and not good for your body in general and boy can I feel it.

The good thing is I am craving to get back to eating healthily and on Friday it is payday which means the MAN and I are doing a nice big shop on Saturday morning. Can't wait. 

Although I am no longer counting calories - which I am loving - I do still want to have some sort of plan so I don't go too much off route. My plan will involve a fresh natural smoothie every morning for breakfast after my workout, it will be packed with veg, fruit and almond milk...I will make sure I have plenty of protein which I think I am severely lacking at the moment.Obviously I have started using all these weights but have actually decreased my protein and so feel like my body isn't getting the nutrients it needs to recover and get stronger. This week although I have been powering through the workouts I have been feeling tired when doing it and feel like I am weaker than when I first started doing the routines last week. I also want to eliminate carbs from dinner apart from on weekends and then it's only if we are having a special meal or treating ourselves. 

So the plan will basically be Smoothie for breakfast full of fresh healthy produce, high protein for lunch and carb free dinners. Quite a simple plan but it's all healthy and will set me up for success. 

BRING ON THE FRESH FOOD....
