Back To Basics

Well since my good intentions in January the weight loss plan hasn't exactly gone according to, well, plan! So as of this week, things they are a-changin'!

I'm back to walking, every day and both ways so that's now over three miles a day, and I can't be doing with this meandering slow walking that people seem to do so it's a pretty fast walk. Speaking of, why do people walk at the speed of a crippled snail? If you're walking, chances are you're going somewhere in particular, and if you're going somewhere specific then how about a little more forward mobility to get you there?
There's something good about doing the walk to be honest, it wakes me up and it does give you that lovely smug feeling because you've done some exercise. The down side to it, well I could be experiencing that this evening... The down side is I will not take a bus at all now, so I will be walking home come rain or shine. At the moment this'd be rain, and I'm wearing a vest top and a denim jacket... I predict drowned rat chic by the time I walk in the front door! Such a good look for me!

As for diet, yes I'm back on that kick too. And actually doing pretty well. Largely eating eggs, lean meats, fruit and raw veg, and I am so glad that I actually like vegetables otherwise this would be killing me! Someone at work did give me a diet plan that is supposed to make you lose up to 14 pounds in a week, but to be honest for one thing I think losing that much that fast isn't the best idea but also I suck at being told exactly what to eat and when. It's exactly why I never sign up to diet plans or groups, Slimming World sounds great but if I want meat I don't care if I'm supposed to be on a "green day". And as for Weightwatchers I just inherently object to paying five pounds a week for someone I don't know to weigh me and give me judgemental glances.
Now before anyone gets up in arms can I just point out that I know both these, and other, plans work for a lot of people. But I just do not have the right temperament to be restricted like that!

So we'll see. This logic should save money and help me lose weight, wonder how long I'll be able to ignore the siren call of KFC though....
