29th Aug 2019 – healthy day then chocolate

Today was a successful work day, as they so often can be. The chocolate covered flapjacks called loudly to me today. But… I stayed strong… YAY! I didn’t have my milk this morning, and until now had forgotten about it. I’ll have a glass shortly. Usual day stuff, nuts, grapes, cherries in the morning, salad …

Sad news, don’t lose touch.

Evening all, hope you’re all well. I will write what little there is of my day on a separate post. I just want to say if you have any friends or family members you haven’t quite gotten round to chatting to in a while, please do so soon. This evening I was given some sad …

28th Aug 2019 – a healthy food day, and it feels good!

Mum came back from Canada yesterday after a month long visit with my aunt. I visited with her this evening after work. It’s so good to see mum again 🙂. We had such a lovely catch up. I think I might have a slight intolerance to milk. In an effort to increase my dairy intake …

100 Trillion – bacteria, viruses and fungi -gut microbes!

Wow, I don’t even understand this figure – that’s a lot of zeros! I’ve been hearing a lot on healthy gut microbiomes over the last couple of years, so thought I would have a read around (with my unscientific mind) and try to understand a bit more about it. I’ve read into it, and I …

27th Aug 2019 – almost back on track!

What another glorious day here in the UK, lovely sunshine 😀 For the first time in weeks I hadn’t prepared my lunches, and boy did I know it! Luckily I haven’t quite run out of my nuts so I had those for breakfast. I went to the van for my lunch, but I didn’t fancy …

26th Aug 2019 – a lovely day, diet starts tomorrow.

Paul is back home YAY!!! We’ve had a lovely few hours, snuggling then going out and catching up over dinner and Pepsi max. I love it when Paul’s home. I started okish with food, and ended, well, uh hum, not so food worthy! Had a fried egg sarnie for breakfast, used 1cal spray, seedy wholewheat …

25th Aug 2019 – part 2

So at 7.30pm I suddenly realised, with shock, that I had eaten nothing at all today! I didn’t really want anything to eat even when I realised I had not eaten. This is bad! I am trying to stick to a healthy, balanced diet, not starve my body of nutrients, vitamins, calories it needs. So …

25th Aug 2019 – too hot for exercise

I know, I know…. typically English!!!! I’m never happy with the weather! To be honest, I love the sun, but it’s not a day for me to be outside 😀. I’m not exactly brimming over with energy, so I’m gonna do the housework nice and slow, top to bottom, that will be my exercise for …

24th Aug 2019 – 2lb loss, great day

What a great day! My daughter was safe with her fiancee looking after her, my mum is still on her Canadian visit with her sister, my best friend is on holiday, my partner is still at the music festival. This left me with a day to do with as I pleased, so I started the …

10lb lost in total! A review and a Thank You!

I thought I’d take stock of my journey so far for this first five weeks of my journey. I started out giving myself a goal of losing 2 stone by the end of September. I have five weeks left to go, so I’m not going to reach that goal. However, if I carry on as …
