It's 2025: Let's Try This Again

I still can't believe I haven't posted in so long. Between trying to stay sane and balancing work, my side gigs and life, it's been really tough.

I started the year at the heaviest weight I have ever been in my entire 39 years of existence on this earth. Quite embarrassing, I must say. Sometimes life happens and you just let go.

People see me and ask why I didn't do something the moment I noticed the weight creeping on. Honestly, I wish I had a reasonable answer, but I do not. Was it laziness? The allure of junk food? The overeating of high carb meals? Perhaps all of the above? I just choose not to even dwell on that.

With that being said, I decided to act fast before this weight continues to rise. My approach in combating this will be going on the 1:1 Diet by the Cambridge Weight Plan. I did this diet before they rebranded about 5-6 years ago and it really worked for me. I plan on staying on the Sole Source Step, which involves replacing all meals with three products from their range for the next 84 days.

Before you ask if this is sustainable, it is. I kept the weight off for a while before my bad habits started catching up with me. The plan was made by a medical professional in Cambridge University. Now that is a big deal.

Anyways, today is Day 3 on plan and thankfully I don't feel hungry.

Let's see how it goes by the end of my weigh in next Tuesday.

It's Me Again.

 After what seems like eternity, I'm finally back. In the last four years I have tried and failed several times to lose weight. Instead, I just seemed to keep on adding more. For every 2-3kg lost I would end up gaining that and then some. To say I've moved through moods; from depression to despair and then defeat just wouldn't express what I've been through.

I've tried to act like I'm unperturbed by the development. After enjoying the peace of mind and good health that came with weight loss a few years ago. I now have to deal with constant feelings of lethargy and waist pain that only suppositories seem to get rid of. Enough! I'm literally tired of this weight and intend to do something about it.

I won't be standing on the scale or posting a starting weight till the beginning of February. However, we start afresh tomorrow.

The plan is to do the following:

1. Exercise for at least 30mins each day.

2. Eat less carbs.

3. Stay away from soda and juices

4. Eat more vegetables 

We start with baby steps and add on as we go.

I would say wish me luck but at this point I really just need to get off my lazy butt.

Days 2 & 3 on the One2One Diet

 Hello there to anyone reading this. Today is Day 3 and so far things seem to be going okay. I'm grateful that I haven't felt any hunger pangs or headaches as is usually the case in the first few days. Hopefully this smooth sailing continues.

I've been having pretty much the same things so far; porridge, cappuccino shake, couscous, green pesto pasta and chicken tikka curry. Thankfully these are actually very nice so I haven't felt like I'm being punished; even though I must confess that the portions are literally what you'd serve babies.

That being said, I guess a girl has got to do what she's got to, right?

Day 3 down, 81 more to go.

Cheers.
