On the basis I’ve missed 4 days of this blog, it’s fair to say that I’ve fallen off the wagon a bit. Back on today to give myself a bit of accountability. Three reasons for losing my way-1) low mood from Day 12-16 2) visiting friends Day 13-14 and 3) the gym instructor being excessivelyContinue reading “Day 18”

Completely lost it today. Feeling unwell (mentally and physically 😞). Didn’t manage to gym class this morning. Ate some healthy stuff but also a slice of pizza and chocolate. Annoyed with myself as I had been doing so well but the warning bells were ringing as my resolve/willpower had been tested this week. And nowContinue reading “Day 12”

Well managed to get back on the journey today after my blip yesterday! That is a major achievement for me. In the past, I would have lost my willpower completely because it slipped for a short time. Managed my gym class this morning and I think I might be getting a bit stronger. Almost managedContinue reading “Day 11”

I’ll keep it short so I don’t completely fall off the wagon. Did ok today eating and exercise until…my husband decided to have a night ‘off’ healthy eating and got in Cola and gummy sweets. And I just couldn’t resist. I think it was partly because I still felt hungry after dinner. I probably wouldn’tContinue reading “Day 10”

Working days are definitely much easier to eat better than non working days! No kids to cater for, more to keep my occupied and less opportunity to snack! Managed to fit in another gym class tonight as we are away this weekend. And for week weigh in-11st8lb which is 5lb off in a week. NowContinue reading “Day 9”

I don’t want to jinx this but today eating healthily actually felt easy-like so much so I actually started thinking I must have cheated somehow and have forgotten. I didn’t walk today so haven’t managed as much exercise. But I’m way less sore today than I’ve been the day after the other classes I’ve done.Continue reading “Day 8”

So today’s been the hardest day so far to stick to healthy eating. Managed to get to the gym class first thing. Felt less sore and quite energised after it even though everyone else in the group is much much fitter than I am! Home for a shower and some rye bread with mashed banana.Continue reading “Day 7”

Sore today after the gym class session yesterday. Really felt challenged today to stick to eating healthily. First challenge was at lunchtime-our normal routine would be an lovely fresh white baguette with cheese and salad. I felt a bit sad that I didn’t have that. But I replaced the baguette with rye bread and itContinue reading “Day 6”

It’s been a really busy day today. But, despite being out for lunch and then round at a friends after dinner, I still made healthy choices! Water to drink. Baked potato and salad for lunch. That’s a lot of progress for me! Now let’s hope I can keep it up over the weekend!

It’s been a fairly sedentary day today as I’ve been chained to my desk all day! But…I’ve managed to make good choices with food. Headaches have been much better today. I had two squares of dark chocolate (85%) as a replacement for my usual chocolate fix. I wouldn’t say it exactly replaced my Cadburys versionContinue reading “Day 4”
