30 DAY CHALLENGE!

So I decided to do another 30 day healthy eating and exercise challenge( I say this whilst eating a packet of biscuits lol) because after the last one back in September, I feel like I put some of the weight on again...oh well we're not all perfect! 

I'll be using the same food diary system with the numbered pages which will be my count down. I have been looking over my previous food diary to see if there were any interesting recipes that were consistent throughout the month so that I can add them to my eating plan.

So far I have noticed the benefit of eating my dinner earlier at 6pm as opposed to 8pm or 9pm and not eating anything after that. It was a bad habit of mine. My husband and I do movie night once a week  which consists of watching a movie at home very late at night and stuffing our faces with crap. This was a problem for me since I couldn't eat the crisps, cheese on toast, chocolates, biscuits, ice cream and fizzy drinks! So my plan is not to completely deprive myself of food but to eat a small amount of fruit and a glass of water...maybe a handful of popcorn. :)

Advantages

Clothes starting to look much better on you

People telling you that you look slimmer

Having more energy

Generally feel better and happier

Trying new foods

Disadvantages

Eating by yourself because of your strict food timings

Watching people eat forbidden foods

Weighing yourself and not noticing much of a change

Feeling like you want to give up 

Visiting friends and family and not being able to eat the delicious desserts

Alongside the eating plan I will be doing exercise like walking, using the exercise bike, dancing and workouts everyday because as we all know, eating healthy is not enough.

I will be starting on the 1st of November and counting down.

I will post most of my meals daily on Instagram on WITHLOVEWITHLOVE if anyone is interested in following me or joining me. But I will try to do a weekly post on my progress. 

There's nothing worse that doing these things on your own, especially when the rest of your family are not sharing your healthy eating plan. But do not be discouraged, as long as you make your meals as tasty and as interesting as they could possibly be then you will not feel tempted to eat any forbidden foods.

If any of you lovely bloggers out there have any interesting recipes or healthy tips to share please comment below, email me or comment on Instagram and I would love to hear from you. Are YOU ready? :) Good luck!
