Weight issues

I just can't seem to get this right and with Christmas around the corner I hope I don't gain more weight

Need to get back on track to healthy and fit

Hey guys, so you know we all have those days when you just don't feel too good about how you look. When I stared this blog it was all about trying to loose weight and get fit and healthy and so far with life and just everything else, I haven't really gotten far in the loosing weight. My fitness level has increased however I left like by body is growing in some areas even though my weight hasn't decreased or increased. 

This was me over the weekend when I attended the page sponsor's event iCandy Jouvert band launch. While the event was great, and I did have a lot of fun, I just saw these two images I took out while there and am down and out about them. 

Firstly I am not someone that wears skin tight clothing, but I wear loose clothing to cover up my problem areas and just like to be comfy. However, as of late the chubbiness of my face is pretty evident. while I am probably the only person that will notice my chubby arms in this, I know everyone can clearly see my face. It's just a bit to chubby right now. So even though the clothing is covering up my problem areas, my face shows that I need to loose some weight. 

In picture #1 it doesn't look as bad, but watch my face in the second pic. ahhhhhhh

I've allowed life and just everything else to get in the way of my progress, and while I have been trying the struggle is real to try and get a good diet plan off the ground. Mentally, I have never felt so disappointed in myself for not sticking properly to the diet in the past couple weeks and cannot believe I have allowed myself to just quit from time to time. 

But the one thing is I want to start back and try again, even though I know this is the month where christmas food and snacks are plentiful. I don't know how and if I can get this back on track, but this picture right here, that chubby cheeks right there needs to be my motivation to not eat the chocolate or extra large piece of macaroni pie and get back to a scheduled workout. 

I know it's hard, trust me, but I am going to start back and try again. I hope you will keep at it, and keep going with me. Remember in the end it will be worth it. 

Meal Plan

Hey Guys so this took a while to design, however thanks to an amazing team of nutritionists I have been able to come up with an awesome meal plan that can be used by non-vegetarians. As you will see the plan includes local foods such as Sada Roti. It's not an intense plan but one that can work for everyday life, and you can mix and change around some of the food to suit you schedule. 

All the best and let me know what you think of the plan. Happy eating
