75.8kg Sunday 21st Nov
Monday I am back to 75.3. I have been getting out of the habit of being careful and justifying snacks for any reason.
I have found that my jobs schedule has been working really well and I have been getting a lot done that I used to think of and say I would do later. Breaking the housework and one off jobs down into set time slots seems to make doing them a lot easier.
Why not try the same system for meals? So now my plan is to have four meals a day at set times. I may look at the clock and wish it was time for afternoon snack but at least I am not in the kitchen looking in the fridge and pantry til I find something.
7:25 breakfast - 1200kJ
11:00 lunch - 1400kJ
2:30 afternoon tea - 1200kJ
6:00 dinner - 1200kJ
I find that I can swap lunch and afternoon tea to be morning tea then lunch if I want to go out for morning tea. I have only tried it for three days but it seems pretty easy to go 3 1/2 hours between meals and the 1200kJ is like a real meal or a hearty cake. I have my meat at lunch time and just veges and desert at dinner.
By the way the jobs schedule is:
7:30 - 9:30 (for summer)
3:00 - 4:00
I have a downloaded editable calendar month that I type in all the things I want to do into the time slots.
After years of losing weight and putting it on with interest I have found a plan that is easy and I will be able to stick with it on a day to day basis forever. I know it will work because it is my plan designed by me. This is part one - losing the weight. Part two will be maintaining. Being kind to myself and counting the kJ is the basis of the plan. My first goal is 70kg. The final goal is 60kg
