For the past three weeks I have started exercising again by going on walks with a friend, and with the family last Saturday. It definitely raises my heart rate, though it's not too fast as I can still hold a conversation. It's certainly nice to be out of the house after being locked down for so long.
And I have finally finished Ilana Muhlstein's You Can Drop It (I'll write a review in a different post). I am eating more vegetables, and enjoying different flavours and textures, and I'm genuinely not missing carbs in my evening meal. Even yesterday, my family and I went to a drive-thru cinema and could order food to our cars, I had a naked burger, salad, coleslaw, a handful of sweet potato fries (giving the rest to my girls) and instead of dessert, I had a butterscotch milkshake. I'm not pretending the shake was 'healthier' than a regular dessert, but it was a treat that I could savour and enjoy.
So, this week, I am looking to cement Veggies Most, and hopefully break through this invisible barrier of 90kg. I have already gone for a 4km walk today, and will see if I can sneak in another exercise at the end of the week.
