Hey all, hope you are well.
A huge, HUGE thank you to https://cb100days.home.blog/, I really appreciated your comment, and I took your advise π
For those who are wondering what gobbledegook I’m spouting now, I’ve been struggling with my healthy lifestyle, and today I seriously felt I had reached my limit, and wanted to fall back into easier, non mindful eating, and be damned with the exercise!
Instead I received encouragement and advise. I have read through several, actually lots, of my previous posts.
It was an interest read for me, there have been ups and downs, there have been great weeks, good weeks and some not good weeks. Despite and because of those weeks I have succeeded and am pleased so far with my continuing weight loss progress and exercise increase.
For anyone finding themselves in need of encouragement, I pass on the advise I was given, read through your posts, be faithful to yourself, read and understand you are doing well.
And please don’t give up!
I am ready to get going again!
I have found my determination, maybe not My ‘YEAH let’s do this’ attitude, but I do now feel I will follow my path fully again.
Neither do I feel like it’s a pointless endeavour with a party and my monthly and pre monthly problems coming round. This is after all simply life, and these things will always happen and need to be worked into my journey. It’s a bit like saving money, if I never buy the things I could save plenty, but every now and then haircuts are needed! Just takes a little longer to get to the target.
So, on that note, let’s give you my report for the day.
Food – 28g natural nuts, fruit, 1hard boiled egg, salad. 1 mini flapjack – I resisted more during the afternoon. Salmon, rice and peas for dinner.

We might have Greek yoghurt with seeds and honey later, not sure yet.
Fluid – 200ml milk, 3 teas (two with 2 tsp halfspoon, this afternoon’s tea with 1 tsp halfspoon) and 1 glass of water which I’m having now. There will be another glass shortly.
Exercise – I messaged Paul while writing my last post and asked him to make sure I did my exercises.
The foot pouffe has been lifted onto the sofa, so as soon as our dinner’s settled a bit I’ll get on with my exercises. Paul will make sure of it. Thank you my love π.
So it’s been an emotional day, but it’s nice to feel I’ll be ending it on a productive note.
Thank you all for reading, thank you for commenting, and thank you helping me find my missing mojo π€
How funny!! We both posted within 3 minutes of each other today – both saying how much we appreciate one anothers support!! You are my exercise/healthy living soul mate!! π So glad you’re feeling back on track!! X

Actually I think the inches are better. The lbs will come with time and can be so variable and dependent on time/day of weigh, water levels, muscle mass. However inches prove without a doubt healthy changes our bodies are going through π

I’m so glad you found your missing mojo. I have to agree that reading back on your old blog entries really helps to reinforce how far you have come and what you’ve been through. I know that when I look back at the first few posts on my blog I see a miserable person who is a walking time bomb health wise due to her weight and age. Now I’m feeling better in myself and have diffused that time bomb somewhat. I just wanted to say I do read your posts even though I might not comment. Love your food photos. Some of them are so tempting for me (because I can’t have potatoes and some of the other stuff you have), but they look well presented. I’ve never been one for photographing my meals, and to be honest, as most of them are salads with chicken breast or eggs or fish there’s a limit as to how many photos you could take of the same meal, lol. Keep up the great work, and I’m sure you’ll reach your goal.

Thank you, it is good to feel upbeat again, itβs a lesson I shall definitely carry forward just in case thereβs a next time! I know what you mean about the food pics, I sometimes drool over other peoples pictures, mine always seem a little boring π

Your food pics are not boring, don’t think that. We all have our bumps in the road. There’s one motivational post that I’ve seen and used myself…..’Weight loss is like driving. If you ever veer off the road, just make a U turn and head back in the right direction.’
