Ritu’s Healthy Living – Week 4 #icandothis

We’re starting the last week of the school holidays… Goodness knows what will happen to my attempts at healthy eating and living once term starts!

But I have managed at least 4 weeks, through the holidays, with kids eating all sorts, and I survived decorating, and still carried on with my mission. And there is one more week until the rigidity of school commences once more.

Granted, I haven’t lost as much as I hoped, weight wise, but I think I have made great progress in changing my eating, and introducing some exercise into my lifestyle, and as they say, slow and steady wins the race!

So, what have I been eating this week?

I have had a request for recipes for some dishes, so when I get a chance I will try and post!

And I am still drinking lots of water, and herbal teas throughout the day.

I haven’t attempted any of the exercise DVD’s yet, but I have finally got on my exercise bike and am trying to do 30 minutes moderate speed cycling on it most days… but the speed and calorie counter don’t work, so I am guestimating how fast I am actually cycling! Whatever the speed, it sure is making me sweat!  That’s gotta be good!

I’m thinking of investing in a Fitbit to help track my activity and heartrate too!

And to be a little bit more proactive, I have started to publish the odd health tip, found under Health in my header menu! I’ve had some great feedback so far, and if I give information that helps another, then all the better!

I post these, alongside foodie pics, on my Instagram account, if you wish to follow me on there! @phantom_giggler.

Now, the all-important question… what did the scales say today???

I had lost 3 lb so far last week…

This week another

2lbs!

That makes 5lbs in total, and I have broken the 11 stone barrier and am 10 stone something now!!!!

Woo hoo!!!!

 

Health Tip #3

Eggs. Anday. Oeuf. Good stuff!

I am trying to eat and egg or two each day (bar Tuesday, but that’s a family veggie day peculiarity!)

Filling, cheap and nutritious.

What more could you want?

Health Tip #2

I try and drink 3 litres a day and start with at least 750ml in the morning first thing!

Yes you need the loo lot initially, but you’re flushing your system clear! And your body gets better are holding it too after a while!

Making up for being naughty!

Been a bit of a mad day today! And currently I am posting from. My exercise bike!

Yes. 

I am a woman.

I can multitask!

I shall post again later but suffice to say I have a lot of excess calories to burn today!!!

At least another 15 minutes to go!!!

You’re lucky you can’t see me right now, with sweat dripping…

I am not talking about lady like glowing, or a little perspiring nutfull on sweating buckets! 

That’s gotta be good, hasn’t it?

Health Tip #1

Something I learned from Pops which makes sense!
