Greetings all,
I did Induction for five weeks up until Chrismas last year, I was happy with the results, I lost over 7kg and had never felt better. I was able to power through my nightly walk (used to take an hour, got it down to 45min) and when time allowed, I could do this morning and night and still feel great.
I'm a total foodie, I love good wine and food but my biggest weakness has always been chocolate.
After a three week break for Christmas and my husband's birthday, I started back on induction and have lost a further 3kg over the last three weeks.
However, I'm here today because I feel like a total slacker.
I have also been working 12 - 13 hour days so I haven't been able to start walking again.
In fact, the only excercise I have been doing is 30 minutes of anerobic excerices that my physio gave me because I hurt my back a couple of weeks ago.
My other big induction no-no is nuts!
I love nuts and have been eating a small portion each day, I love them for the crunch and I just find a small serve so satisfying.
I mainly have macadamias (5.5g net carb / 100g) or pecans (4.1g net carb / 100g) and each serve is approx 50g.
And red wine.
This time around, I have been having a couple of glasses a week. In my head I try and justify the health benefits
So, my reason for posting today is to air my intention to get serious again and put aside my franken-induction with no more excuses.
Once I post this, I'm going for a walk. It is also my first full weekend off working in weeks and realising how haggard and tired I look and feel, I'm also making a commitment to myself to put my health first (I need to learn to delegate!)
So far, from a starting weight of 94.5kg, I'm at 83.9kg. I'm nearly at my initial goal of 82kg which gives me a BMI of 25 (I'm 180cm female) but I can now see that I have a lot further to go until I reach a weight / shape I'm happy to show off.
Anyway, I've posted this to you good folk, I need to get up and go for that walk now. :joy
