Kathryn wrote a post about The Trunk of Broken Dreams that made me realise it's time to take my food habits of late a little more seriously again. I've put on 6kgs since February and really, that's not ideal. I know it's not the whole 30kgs I lost initially but it's still 20% ... and I can't fit into my favourite jeans anymore!

Some of the things that have been catalysts to putting on weight have been ... moving house, study stress, money stress and going vegan. Say what? Going vegan, how? I haven't been organised or disciplined enough so it's been easier to go for the easy vegan junk food options. Hot chips at the pub anyone while everyone else is eating steak? And what happens when I eat food that doesn't satisfy or is not nutrient dense? I crave more food to compensate and that means carbs, loads of carbs. It's not an excuse, just a poor effort on my part for the past several months. I need to be more conscious about the food I eat especially if I want to be a good nutritionist who walks the talk. So what am I going to do about it?
- Write a menu plan each Saturday, and shop
- Write a moving plan each Saturday, and just do it
- Keep a daily food diary
This week's moving plan:
Sat 10 - 75 min walk
Sun 11 - free day (sick day)
Mon 12 - 5 km run + 100x push/sit/squat/lunge + 75 min jivamukti yoga
Tue 13 - 75 min walk
Wed 14 - free day (drank previous night so forget about it)
Thu 15 - 75 min walk
Fri 16 - free day

Ha yeah but since I've been more serious about this I've put on a kg! One of those things, I guess.
Food plans definitely make it easier - for saving $$$ as well as eating better.
When I first went vegan I got really sick from eating junk. Give me a holler if you want any advice about easy vegan food or just want to chat aobut it xxx
i really appreciate your honesty. it also reminds me that i need to start kicking it up a notch (or three) myself ;) hugs!!
Good plan - is lots of salad and a few hot chips a better plan at the pub ??? I can talk...not! I had 5 schooners of cider last night after being good all week. Don't be too hard on yourself - and be in the moment as well as doing all the good planning. Talk soon dear girl, A xxx
Thanks for the reminder (kick up the butt ??) that I needed. I have been slack with things lately - mainly due to the back and forth on the new job that has been stressing me out and been the excuse I needed not to do what I know I should have done !!! Now that is all settled, I need to get back on track and do what I know I need to do to get these last 8-10 kgs off.
Thank you, thank you, thank you !!! Have a great Sunday.
