Week 4 is mini-milestone week in the 12WBT. A 400g loss in todays weigh-in has taken me to 3kg total to date and I am feeling great. The main thing Mish is trying to get to us in mini milestones is to focus on the non weight related wins. Like redoing the fitness tests and measurements. I will do my fitness test this weekend but every Wednesday I run 5km on the treadmill to try and beat my time from the week before so I know my fitness is improving. Today i did 5km in 35min and 36 sec shaving 6 seconds off last weeks time.
I have lost cm also and my clothes are starting to get lose on me which is fantastic. I can not wait till I drop a dress size from a 14 to a 12, but that is still a little way off.
The other great thing that has happened this week is I think I am finally starting to inspire my hubby to get fit, lose weight and exercise. It's been 3 years but better late than never. He is starting to watch his portions eat better and run on the treadmill.
Working full time I always struggle with taking the easy way out and getting take away on the way home but these last few weeks I have completely stayed away from take out, cooking quick easy meals is not that difficult and I'll just stop at the butcher and supermarket on the way home. As long as you write a list and stick to it you are in and out in no time.
I know the time will come soon that I will have take out so here is where we make our choices.
2 Vietnamese Rice paper rolls for approx 300cals for 2
VS
McDonald's Chicken Caesar Wrap for 493cals
What will you choose??
330 cals for a traditional chicken souvlaki from Souvlaki Hut
VS
459 cals for 1 KFC chicken breast original recipe.
Really is food for thought.
