So I have been going to the gym pretty consistently this past week. Well. Since Tuesday.
Actually, I’ve only been on Tuesday, Saturday, Sunday and today.
But still.
I have started weight training now, because apparently that burns fat a lot quicker and builds muscle in the correct areas depending on what you focus on and how much you do.
Anyway.
The point of this drivel is that because I am now lifting weights, I am becoming more hungry. I am RAVENOUS, in fact. All I think about is FOOD. Which is terrible because I am trying to lose weight!
A quick search on the old internet has taught me that when the body realises it is burning a hell of a lot more energy, it tries quickly to replace what has been burnt off so the bodyweight balances out.
What bad news.
This means that if I want to lose weight properly, I have to… FEEL HUNGRY?
This is proving to be exceptionally difficult. I am trying to curb my appetite by eating healthy fruits and vegetables, a higher amount of protein, and lowering my sugar intake. I have had bananas and peanut butter (so delicious), a lot of protein shakes, and plenty of grilled vegetables with limited oil.
But all I really want is a fat juicy burger and some crispy, salty french fries.
I made this cake four weeks ago and it was so delicious, now I am dreaming of it. Have a look at its golden halo. This is truly the cake of champions. However, I shall persevere.
Good luck on the new routine … go for it! … Remember that balance is an important key … so cake is OK … just not everyday! Burgers are OK, just not everyday!
Meanwhile, because I know you enjoy writing, here’s a challenge for you that I’m hosting. https://afrankangle.wordpress.com/2017/07/02/on-a-footprints-challenge/
