What I eat in a day when I am dieting!

So As you may know I am currently 'Plus size'. I fit into clothes between a Uk 12 and a Uk 16. I have been on a battle with my weight since school. I lost 3 stone in 2015 and I was doing really well. Then I met my partner and put that 3 stone back on and some. I decided I needed to do something about that, I started dieting and going to the gym I broke my T10 and T11 Vertebrae in my back making me bed bound and on rest for a couple of months ( July 2016 - September 2016). With the healthy eating my excuse was it was too hard for me to stand long enough to prepare healthy food and takeaway was so much easier to clean up also. 

Now a Year later I have lost 1 stone and 3 pounds within 6 Weeks! How you might ask? Pure motivation and determination. I am still nowhere near where I actually want to be but I know if i stick at it everything will pay off.

Today I have been working, Running errands, going to the gym, cleaning and doing laundry. This is Everything I have eaten today!



Breakfast! 

For Breakfast I had Two mango fingers, One pineapple finger, 1 Kiwi, Melon and Strawberries.

Lunch!

So Today I cheated! After the Gym with my bestie we popped into Starbucks to grab Lunch! I had a Peach green tea Lemonade and a Pulled Beef and Rice hot box.

Dinner!

So for dinner I cooked up all the left over Veg from the week before. I just prepped it all  put it on a Baking tray and sprayed with fry light. I cooked some plain pasta and chopped up a few slices of smoked Ham. For pudding I had some apples.

So as you can see I try not to snack in between meals but I do try and make my meal last as long as possible. I also drink 4 850 ml bottles of water a day to keep myself hydrated especially when going to the gym and working out. I find that dieting doesn't only affect my weight but I feel more energetic in the mornings and my skin is glowing I actually want to get out of bed! I also love to plan my meals and I use a weekly journal to plan my meals ahead especially if I am working away from home/Office then I can prepare myself and have everything ready.

Thank you for reading! Much love!
