Summer

Sorry for the absence - I have been busy. I've also been adjusting to using a laptop instead of computer. I am finally getting the hang of it. At least now I will have internet access on the weekends, while I am at the coast.

I lost 5 pounds this week which I know sounds good but it isn't when it is part of the 6 gained the week before. I am so happy though, because the old me would have let that slip up ruin everything but instead I carried on. I feel great, it is so good to be in control for a change. I am really hoping for a good weigh in on Monday, and I will update on here properly then.

The weather here in the UK is hot and sunny this week. So I am enjoying watching Wimbledon, getting plenty of walking in and eating some low fat, low cal lollies and ice creams for treats. And, of course some strawberries but I have had them without the cream :)

Happy Easter.

I gave up chocolate for Lent - I can't believe I managed it. 40 days without chocolate for me is a miracle. Guess what I ate for breakfast? A Cadburys Creme Egg! I know it is not a good thing to eat for breakfast but I promised myself I would eat one and that would be that. I am planning on leaving chocolate out of my diet as much as possible, I don't need it anymore. Just a treat now and again. I am in control and that makes me happy!

I am also doing well with my walking everday in April. Yesterday I did 45 minutes of fast walking and finished it off by doing a 5 minute jog. I don't know who was more shocked me or the dog! I have decided to do a bit of gentle jogging every other day when I go for my walk. I will go over the fields on that day where it is nice and quiet, just one or two other dog walkers.

See - nice and discreet for a bit of wobbly jogging!
