ok. I am getting worse and worse. I need a plan. It seems i can't diet without a plan, can you? In these past few months, I learned that I can't although it was easy to loose weight when I was younger. I only needed to be careful about what i eat. Now, if i don't have a plan and suddenly got hungry, i start eating whatever comes handy at the time. Mostly very high calories. Not nice =]. I guess it is about blood sugar. So I need a plan to stick to. Besides, i don't have time to do any exercise at the moment. My great plan, which has been tested many times, works with walking daily.
==== at this very second i got a call to learn that one of my friends had just given birth to a baby boy, yayyy =]
Anyways, i was saying, i need a plan
So here it goes:
first, i need a bottle to drink more water at work. Those tiny paper cups do not get much water, and I am very lazy to fill it countinuously. So, first things first, i need another starbucks plastic water bottle, which was very handy as i remember from my previous job. Twice or three times will do the trick throughout the day.
Secondly, my breakfast. I don't like eating as soon as i get up. So that means i can not eat cereal at home. I usually buy a sandwich when i arrive at work from the patissera just across the street. Well, that is not a good choice for a diet. And i cant eat cereal at work, cause i hate cereal without cold milk. And i do not have a refrigirator here. So, i have to find sth else. I am thinking of corn&rice pops which is not a bad choice until I find a better idea. I want sth healthier and testier naturally.
Lunch. I have eat out for lunch. And i do not like salad a lot. I don't feel full afterwards. So i ll go for vegetables and diet chichken type of thing. I need a backup plan here, since I can't go out to eat everyday. Maybe i shouldnt be lazy and bring sth from home. But that is the most dangerous decision, cause when i got home i am always very tired and I have a baby to look after. And anyway, the evening meals are the most dangerous ones.
Evenings. As i said, this is the most dangerous meal of the day. I arrive home at around 7:30 ish, which is a very late time for a propr meal. I mostly do not have time to cook. So there is food if the nanny cooked us that day. So, here is a quick plan, until I come up with something better. I will buy vegetable bags to boil. I know lots of people do not like them that way. But fotunately, it is not like that for me. So, i can ask nanny to boil them daily, which will be ready as soon as i arrive home. And most importantly, if i need a snack at night i ll go for the vegetables or cereals.
Ok. This is the plan now. Not a very good one but still it is a plan. And for the big weekend breakfasts, I ll find a solution. And i will convince myself to cook at the weekends. We ll see.
My goal is to loose 1kg every week, which is a highly ambitious plan. It will work easily for the first 2 weeks until I got to 65. Cause this is mostly water weight. And we ll see after that. I guess all of you know by now that 1kg is 7000 calories. Which basically means I have to get 1000 calories less than I use during the day. I have a very sedentary life at the moment without exercise. So I probably need 1800calories most during the day. Which means, daily I have to get no more than 800 calories. Wow, that is difficult. I need a calori calculator and have to keep track of the food I eat so that i can see how i am doing and come up with a better plan that can be applicable to my life style at the moment.
So, good luck to you all. Hugs =]
