I've been to the scales in Boots and like I expected I was 11 stone 12 pound. My healthy weight range for my 5 feet one height is 7 stone 1 pound to 9 stone 8 pound. I have therefore got to loose 2 stone 4 pound to be in the healthy range. That is 32 pound. A healthy target loss of 2 pound per week will take me 16 weeks so I should get there by September! It seems ages away at the moment but when I think how quickly the year has gone so far it's not that long.
Well, next question. How am I going to do it???? I'm going to eat 3 small meals per day. No snacking but one milky drink at night to fill me up before bed and help me to sleep.
Meal ideas are:
Breakfast - Cereal and milk/Fruit and yogurt/Toast and Jam
Lunch - Tuna or Salmon and Salad/Bowl of vegetable soup with croutons/Sushi
Dinner - Any lean protein with any veg.
If I can stick to that the weight loss should come.
Oh, I also need to exercise. I may start with a 30 minute power walk per day to be getting on with. A good way to catch some rays when the sun comes out.
It's not going to be easy but it's going to be worth it.
