Bank Holiday Monday 4th May 2009

Well here I am again with another dieting blog installment! Not too much to report - yesterday evening I did nearly 20 mins of salsacise and today I think I'll do some aerobics ! For breakfast I ate 2 gluten free home made American Style Pancakes, 1oz raspberries and 1x 150g pot of soya cherry yogurt! It was really yummy! Lunch will be a tuna salad with lots of salad veg etc and maybe 1tsp of Hellman's Extra Light Mayo - yummy - it's 3% fat so much better than the other mayo, although not as creamy!

One thing I have to do is drink more - I really am not drinking enough and if I carry on I won't stick to my eating plans!

I really need to do more walking as well - I stay indoors too often! (Hey they have a flautist and I play the flute - that was an aside...)

OK until next time - have a fab bank holiday - hope this afternoon cheers up - typical Brit BH it's raining!

Sunday May 3rd 2009

Well here I am again - I'm into the 3rd day of my diet and I feel like some CHOCOLATE! I've been 'good' the last 2 days - have done some exercising and eaten healthily - I really have to keep this up and stop thinking about bad, unhealthy food I HAVE to lose weight to fit into the clothes that still don the labels because I put on weight before I could wear them! What is a girl to do?

I think I'll have some grapes - might curb my sweet craving...


OK here's to the up coming week

DAY 1

OK this is day one of my healthy lifestyle change!


It is scary starting something new, especially as I've started healthy lifestyle changes before and lasted about a week! I am getting doubts about carrying this through as well as being excited at the prospect of losing weight, maintaining it and staying healthy! I am a mixed bag of emotions

As I get older I find I'm more fearful of failure than when I was younger - weird eh?

Well, I weighed myself this morning as this is going to be my first day and I've lost 1lb (without trying) from last week! Whooo hooo so something positive to go on with!

For breakfast I ate 3 American pancakes, lunch was a sweet potato and 4oz baked beans - don't know what I'm cooking for dinner! I've planned my menus for next week and it's shopping tonight!

OK folks I will try and keep you all updated
