Anitbiotics and weight

I swore this time that antibiotics were not going to affect my weight. Well they have. The 2kg that slipped off over the bank holiday are now back with a vengeance. So time to restart, again, to knuckly down, again, to get real with this, again.

I can and will do this. Current aim is to lose one stone before the wedding in August. If I’m honest, I’d like to be a size 18 for the wedding but that may not be possible now. I’ve logged my food for today and I’m in cals. I’ve planned out the food with an eye to nutrition and it’s going pretty well as well. A bit low on fat, but I’ll be adding some peanuts into that so fat proportion will increase. Then I’ve got to plan out the rest of the week. A good week will set me up for the weekend.

Step after that – I am going to ring the gym to set up my induction. I will try for tomorrow and see how it goes. I can do this. Even going to the gym for 20mins at lunch time and hitting the cross trainer will be better than nothing.

My stomach isn’t happy today either. It’s growling at me and generally giving me grief. I’m not sure if it’s a reaction from the ABs or if there’s something else going on, but it’s all the more reason to eat a sensible balanced diet. I’m cutting out chocolate again as well. I don’t miss it when I don’t have it, but when I have it I want more and more and more. It becomes a reflex rather than something I want to do.

Another new start. I can be a size 18 in 2 months. I can work hard and push myself and get through this. A lot of it will be diet, so maybe I need to look at clean eating again? It works when I do it, but I find it so boring. I have some new cookbooks though – look at stir frys and veggie bakes and things like that. Soups are always good as well – break out my thermos again.

All these ideas – need to be sorted into a plan now…….guess what I’m doing for the next half hour!!!
