On a lighter note, I have been watching what I eat this last week. I've cut down on my pop ('fizzy-drink' Kiwi calls it) which I think is a huge factor in my weight gain. Since leaving my job at Summit Tools, I have been sitting at my computer drinking pop instead of water like I did at Summit. I remained a good weight while I was working at Summit Tools, even though I did exactly what I do now - sat at a desk on a computer. However, I wasn't eating as much, or if I was I had packed good snacks like cucumbers and carrots. Also goldfish. Those were probably dangerous, so I have since stopped buying them. I had one pop at work with lunch, but the rest of the time I had a large water bottle (which Kiwi now takes to work) and was always refilling it.
I have not done as much physical activity as I would have liked, but I will try and blame that one on the weather. Kiwi showed me some proper crunches, I learned about simple beginner exercises I can do at home on youtube, and I did a bit of hula-hooping.
Since I started I have weighed myself almost every day. Kiwi keeps assuring me that it will take time and effort to see changes, but as of today and yesterday I have lost 2 lbs (0.9 kg). My weight has fluctuated over this last week from 132-130. But the last two days it has remained at 130.
It's encouraging, even those two little pounds. But I know I am on the right track.
Kiwi and I went to White Rock on the weekend and walked along the water for a total of 2km. Mind you, we were actually looking for a restaurant and had to walk both ways anyway - but it was still nice to get some exercise on such a gorgeous day. Here are some pictures from the beach!
