Fitness Diaries; Monthly Update - Month 1

Hello My Lovelies :) x


   So I started my new healthy lifestyle on August the 1st 2017, I decided to start it a couple of weeks after having Max so I could give my body time to heal. I still didn't do any extreme exercising as I know your not suppose to in the first 6 - 8 weeks. So I will begin my more vigorous exercise in the next month or so. So since I can't do much exercise I needed to focus on my actual diet. I needed to cut out junk food and drink and begin to eat properly not only for me but for Max also.

   So here is where I started on the 1st August:

   If you want to know exact measurements go to this post HERE << I have logged all of my before weight there :).

   Here is my one month after shot:

   So now I have gotten that out of the way, which isn't easy but I am hoping showing these will help push me to loose the weight. Many women don't care about the baby weight but I just feel so unconfident and I want to be more energetic so getting healthy and to a healthy weight is all I am going for at the moment.

   So now I will go into my food diary, for the first month of so I want to keep the weeks the same, so it would be easy to know what I was having etc... so I will just do the first week and then you will know what I had on the following 3 weeks (just to keep this post from being super long haha).

   So this is my food diary or the first month, I have to be honest by the end I did end up getting bored of the same food but I was determined not to eat rubbish. As I said before I didn't want to go into exercise right away so I am going to focus on my eating first for the first month and then next month start adding in small exercises like walking, swimming etc, nothing too extreme to begin with. 

   I feel so less bloated whilst drinking all this water which I am loving, I haven't even been tempted to go for a cola or fizzy drink!
