My lifestyle

In the morning we start the day with a cup of coffee with a few tasty sandwiches with jam, chocolate spread and sprinkles. During the day we actually eat reasonably healthy, but of course a dessert with dinner. Also with sprinkles… ..

In the evening, however, things go very wrong. During the holidays we developed a rhythm in which we combine tasty beers with brie, cheese and other tasty things. At the moment I drink an average of 3 beers in an evening and sometimes I also drink a glass of wine. Nice, but now we do this almost every evening and I am disappointed. For a number of weeks I have already decided that I will stop, but every night it goes wrong again. It also seems like some sort of reward at the end of the day. I am tired and now I have earned a treat.

The diet was downloaded from the site of a weight loss expert. We have received two weekly menus. My first impression is that it is very similar to a keto diet like Atkins or Dukan, but the nuance is that this seems a bit healthier. Less meat, less cheese and more healthy things like kinoa.

My starting weight

I weighed myself and I am 85 pounds. My height is 1 meter and 83 centimeters, which brings my BMI to 25.5. That means I just ended up in the “overweight” category. Bummer !!! In addition, I have a waist circumference of 102 centimeters. My chest circumference is 105 centimeters. My arm circumference is 32.5 centimeters. I mention the latter because I will also become more active with fitness again.

The first day was quite okay food wise. For breakfast a fried egg with many vegetables in it and for lunch a salad with shrimp. For dinner a meatball, endive and sweet potato. A stew, who would have thought. Stew while on a diet. In terms of carbohydrates, I don’t think the sweet potato is quite right.

I also worked out. First fitness for an hour and then a small 4 kilometer run. It went pretty well. In the evening I actually did not miss the alcohol. Watched a movie about the founder of McDonalds. Hmm, strange choice.
