Part of my reflection and refocus has brought about the decision to become real with my weightloss.
By changing from inspired.B.inspired, to Jacs Journey to Change, to now what it really is: It is a Journal about my weightloss.
In the final term of work, I have put on over 5kg. It has taken me over a week of strict eating to turn those numbers around & get them heading down again. In Summer I do suffer from really bad circulation thanks to my size, and tend to hold fluid. The only way I can beat it is drink drink drink drink drink water water water. No High Salt foods, lots of alkaline foods, lots of greens, anything to flush flush flush.
One of my key trouble spots is SHOPPING.
To overcome this today my SB (short for Shopping Buddy) and I went with a plan.
Our Grande Skinny Latte's have been replaced by Tall Iced Americanos - which is coffee, ice, water and with cream on top.
Next Stop - looking around lots of shops at clothing I would like to fit into. Its not depressing, its possible!!
Lunch time - we avoided the quick and easy takeaway & chose Nandos. A good choice. When I was at Vision I learnt how awesome Nando's is for healthy eating. Chicken Mediterranean Salad with extra tenderloins. Lots of protein with some composs on the side.
We ended with a few grocery purchases including a little bit of a comparison of macronutrients on various products. I also looked at different products which were "GOOD CHOICES" if I felt like a snack with dip or something. Found some really low numbered Rice Wafers & Tzakiki Skinny Dip.
An easy way to be part of the crowd without over endulging.
The day ended with my pre-prepared dinner from last night of Turkey Stirfy - and lots of water.
I quick walk around the block, and my day is done.
Must remember tomorrow to drink lots and lots of water, and flush the system.

It really is just about setting your sails. You may have veered off-course, but you set your sails back on course. After Christmas you may even be able to set them into the wind and soar. Give yourself a little slack for the next two weeks.. be mindful.. but also be understanding for this is the crazy Season.
