January - The Weigh In

Changes Made

• Cooking from scratch 
• Counting calories 
• Drinking more water 

Total Weight Loss 

11lbs 

I'm going to try do this once a month, although I weigh myself once a week and keep track using my fitness pal, it's nice to document my monthly accomplishments and maybe mention any changes I've made.

I'm basing my diet on calorie counting. For my height and weight I've cut down to around 1,200 calories a day. This seemed like such a little amount but with a better understanding of food and trying to fill up more on fruits and vegs I've found this quite simple and I never go hungry. Please note this is based on my measurements and activities (practically stationary most of the day) and there are apps and websites which can calculate this for you.

Positives

• More energy - I lived on coffee (the office diet)
• Enjoying food more - one reason I wanted to change; I was bored of takeaways and eating the same old beige! 
• Better skin - it's glowing!! Beauty bloggers; my highlight is popping! 
• Less headaches 
• Less bloating
• Well hello waist 
• I can cook! 

Can't wait to share some recipes with you!
