Ok, last week wasn’t brilliant, last night was a disaster, that’s it, done. Back on track now. Beans on toast for brekkie, scales shortly, walk soon, healthier fish and chips for dinner tonight…. I’ll let you know if that all gets done in my evening update. Draw a line – don’t give up!

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 …

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 …
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 …
23rd Aug 2019 – what a day!
Having spent the night at the hospital with my daughter, I came home and went straight to bed. Slept fitfully for a few hours then got up. Spent the afternoon with my daughter and her partner, and then some time this evening. I have managed to be fairly good with food, a blue cheese and …
A rest day from exercise!
Good Morning. Hope you are all well! Thought I would do a quick post about how I feel today – I started using heavier dumbbells in one of my exercises yesterday, and boy can I feel it today! I can feel it right across my shoulders, and my lower back, it’s not a bad feeling, …
21st Aug 2019 – where’s the veg!
Another good day! I was working from home today so managed my exercises during my lunch time. AND did a 3000 step extra walk this evening. I have to admit though, I am feeling a bit sore now! So for morning food, 2 hard boiled eggs, a handful of natural nuts, grapes and cherries. Then …
20th Aug 2019 – good day
Hello 👋 I feel pleased with today, I have eaten well and done my exercises. For food I had my nuts, eggs, grapes and those delish cherries, along with my salad – YUM! I feel I should have either left my salad until later in the afternoon, or kept back some of my fruit or …
