Habits of highly effective weight loss

So, I gathered up enough courage to go on the scales, and I’m back where I started – booo! To be honest, it’s absolutely of no surprise really – my eating habits have been appalling recently. Too many treats, too big portions, too many portions! I’m actually relieved I haven’t put on any more than [...]

Time for a talk

Checked the scales again today – I’ve lost 1.5 pounds already, so feeling good. I’m going to make sure I weigh myself in a week’s time to keep an eye on things. I had a good weekend, and am back to eating a lot healthier again. I’m still feeling very motivated and am trying to [...]

It’s that time of year when my salad no longer comes in a polythene bag! I’m going to plant all these out tomorrow – and I’m very much looking forward to eating my first homegrown salad of the season.

Checking out…

My little one has succumbed to chicken pox – so what I thought was just a temperature, is going to take a while to settle down – so I’ll be playing nurse for a bit longer.
Eating has been going reasonably well – but a sick child meant no run today. Not too worried though, the [...]

Checking in…

Stuck to calories today more or less (OK – 50 calories over – but I can live with that!).
Managed to do a run! Yay!

Meet Jasper…
Jasper, like his owner, is overweight. All the family love him dearly, but fear that giving in to his pathetic yowlings for more food over the years has contributed to his current predicament. However, we have finally discovered a solution of sorts to feline fat accumulation.
Enter, SlimCat!…
No, SlimCat is not the name of the [...]

Race count down check in 1

Ok – food intake – no problems there. Have a poorly child at home, though, so a run/gym was out . That’s fine though, as this can be one of my rest days. Going to actually go to bed on time tonight, so that should help, too.

Here’s a snap of just some of the choctastic treats my boys will be tucking into this year for Easter. Crikey! Mr N and I will have to run for cover when the ensuing sugar rushes take hold! They’ve still got some eggs to come from various relatives (just want to point out that we [...]

Good news all round! I finally cracked and bought some cheap scales. Well, I weighed myself this morning and I’ve lost 5 pounds! I’m pretty pleased at how slowly but steadily I’ve managed it too. Normally I can lose that amount in a week or two of strict dieting but then inevitably will stack it [...]

GMT & PMT

Yesterday was a real humdinger in terms of cravings! I’d done all the right things in terms of exercise and having a healthy breakfast etc., but I was feeling very low and teary and just wanted to eat – oh dear.
However, I realised it was PMT that had sent me a bit loopy, as it [...]
