Food:
- Optifast shakes to replace 1-2 meals a day. I'm not super keen on meal replacement diets and don't plan to do this for long, but I'll take the kickstarter.
- High protein, low carbs - lots of lean meat/fish, rocket & kale salads with avocado, etc. I need some new recipes so I'm going to check out the ketogenic diet.
- No alcohol. Boo to that, but it's empty calories and I really don't miss it much when I give it up.
- I'm starting with 30-45 mins moderately paced walking (about 5.2km/h, remember I'm short) on the dreadmill as many days a week as I can manage it.
- As my fitness increases I'll look at options: join the local Curves? Join the 24/7 gym and get a PT?
- Using my Fitbit to keep track of daily steps (aiming for 10,000 a day) and sleeping, which by the way has been truly shite since D-Day.
- I also want to take up yoga at some point because I was always so flexible and the past few sedentary years (and ageing) have stiffened me up.
- Weigh-ins weekly on Thursdays.
- Measurements monthly.
- Photos monthly.
