Weight Loss Wednesday!

Hey ladies! 

I have a new type of post for you today! Weight loss Wednesday. This won't be every week but I thought it would be good to keep track of my progress and write down what has and hasn't worked to lose weight and tone up.

I will be honest and say my diet hasn't really changed too much, don't worry it's part of my healthy life plan! Rather than just jumping in with both feet and failing after a short amount of time I've decided to break it down into steps to make it a total success and life change.

So at the moment I am in stage one which is portion control. When eaten I have dramatically cut the size of my meals. Rather than having a dinner plate size serving of dinner I've been using smaller plates. I must admit it seems to be working. So far I've lost 3lb. I think the satisfaction of finishing your plate makes you feel full, so the smaller plate doesn't seem to be leaving me hungry but just as satisfied with a lot less calories! 

In between meals I keep snacks to a minimum and cut out as much crap as possible. I still have the odd bag of crisps to satisfy my craving for junk but normally stick to a bag between 100-130 or less calories. Quavers are normally my top choice as they only have 88 calories.

I've cut out the fizzy drinks now. I rotate between water and flavoured water. I can't seem to get enough of tesco's strawberry flavoured water, at only 49p for a litre I can't really complain. Until it runs out.

I found a couple of picture on Pinterest that I thought were good reminders and hints. 'If you eat what you've always eaten, you'll weigh what you've always weighed' is a good saying for me. My diet is definitely not up to scratch but I do plan on tackling that at another stage of my weight loss journey. 

I also found the helpful tips in the picture below. I thought they would be good to look at from time to time.
