Losing it with Rach

So I didn't do too bad yesterday.
Still ate the same things I would anyway, but was more mindful about how much.

So instead of just putting loads of peanut butter on my late morning bagel I was sensible, went for a smaller amount, weighed it, tracked it , enjoyed it.

Not every day has to be "perfect", especially when you are just starting (or restarting in my case), but just keep going.

How are you all doing at the moment? 💕

Well I have decided instead of just wishing I wasn't putting on weight, I'll lose the extra fat that I don't want. 💛

So the milk in my morning cuppa has been weighed and logged. 🧡

I know if I stick to the Team RH plan it 100% will work. I lost 5.5 stone by following it before. And not perfectly, just consistently, the majority of that I lost in a year, plus built muscle and got so much fitter and healthier. 💚

I know the knowledge I learnt through following the plan is what has helped me not just pile on loads of weight, whilst going through a stressful time. 💙

And now I know I need to get back to it. For my physical and also my mental health. 💕

So here starts my "it shall not pass my lips until its been tracked" journey.🤍

Sometimes you just have to take the step to start again 💜

And yes I have lots of milk in my tea 🤣🤣🤣

🤍 I don't like that my face has got fatter again, but I am going to try and make sure it doesn't keep getting fatter!

💕Managed to do a short workout at home yesterday, my first weighted workout in 4 months 💪, it might not have been an epic workout but I am proud of myself for doing it.

💜 Small steps, consistently, help get you to your goals 💜

Anyone else love popcorn as a low calorie treat?

These small bags from Aldi (that come in a 6 pack😉) are only around 55 calories per bag.

And the sweet and salted flavour help hit all those cravings at once!

And popcorn is high in fibre too, so a winner all round! 🤍

Never.Giving.Up.💛

🤍Happy Friday guys! 🤍

💙Now I know I am not massively overweight, and definitely not what I was before, and I know lots of people would love to be my size. But I don't feel at my healthiest, like I did a year or 2 back. I mainly hold fat around my belly and face and I don't feel at my most confident the way I am atm. So it's down to me to get my body back to where I feel at my best, physically and mentally! 💙

❤️I've just weighed myself..... 10st6 ❤️

💚So I have lost a couple of pounds since I started trying to be more mindful in what I eat. No big changes at all. 💚

💙 Simply : making sure to get plenty of protein in each day.... protein definitely helps you to feel fuller for a lot longer - so helps to stop those binges or reaching for a high calorie snack!

⭐️ Protein makes you feel fuller for longer as it regulates your "hunger" hormones.

⭐️Protein takes longer to digest (and uses more calories to digest than carbs or fat!)

⭐️Protein signals to your brain that you are full💙

💜 Because I've upped my protein a little bit that means I have also cut down on as many high calorie snacks , so my overall calorie intake will have gone down and thankfully by enough that my body has also needed to burn a little bit of fat too! 💜

🧡I know I need to start tracking again so that I can make sure I stay in a slight calorie deficit and keep forcing my body to use a little bit of fat each day🧡

💚 Rach is back in the game. Tunnel vision. Focus. Lets go guys!💚

💕Share some of your favourite super easy high protein foods with me please 🙏 💕

🤍 Morning guys! 🌅

💚 So yesterday I was working from 8am to 3pm (a rare early finish!) But I was starting to get hungry. And I think it's always best to eat something if you can, before you get too hungry (I usually get a headache if I don't, and then eat rubbish, anyone else?) 🕒

💜 I was next to the local chip shop, about to go to my next client (still running my dog walking buisness- Dog walks with Rach - if you want to follow!) But, although it would have been quick and tasty I knew that wasn't the best choice , and afterwards I'd feel greasy and sluggish. 🐕‍🦺

💙 So I popped down the road to Aldi, grabbed a sandwich and a shake - still quick and still tasty., but also less calories and way better macros. About 50g of protein! I felt so much better eating it than I would have with chips, and it kept me full for the rest of my working day! 🥪

💛 So I didn't weigh it out, and I haven't been tracking at the moment, but every little decision you make each day helps towards your goals. And my main goal atm is too feel healthier and have more energy again! 💪

🧡 What are you planning for todays lunch? 🍲

Hey 👋 guys

💙 How is everyone doing?!?💙

🤍 I've been doing rubbish, in every way 😞 but I want to get back to feeling, happier, healthier, fitter, more energetic and more confident again.
I know how to do it. But I don't have the motivation. The drive to have to do it. 🤍

💕 So this time I need your help , send me some advice, some motivation, or even just some solidarity that it's okay to not do great all of the time 🙏💕

💛 I have had an awful year and a horrific 3 months. But I am starting a new life. And I want it to be a better one. 💛

💙If you see this, as its been forever since I have posted, then please interact with it , so others will see it too. 💙

❤️Much love to you all ❤️
