Move it Monday: posting on a Thursday!

Im so useless, I aimed to get this up on Monday but here we are.  Last week I focused myself on two areas in which i felt was necessary.  Portion control and drinking more water.  In my last post I mentioned that I seemed to have been carbing up and eating very little protein or veggies.  While I do still need to improve on this aspect I focused on the quality of meals rather than quantity.  

The first thing I did was half my portions and ensuring that they were better options than what I was previously shoving in my mouth.  I can tell you I ate a lot of soup- mainly because I was in the soup mood but because it's the easiest way of incorporating extra veggies and protein.  I have now got into the habit of having a portion of soup with no bread for lunch.  Yay me!  

Secondly I needed to drink a lot more water, I was having at least 2 cups of water a day and now I'm having at least 5 a day.  The water has helped me stay fuller but also decreased my frequency of indigestion.  

Next week my plan will be to up my exercise, I will try and do at least 30 mins a day.
