Struggles this week: Cooking. I've just been a bit meh in the kitchen lately and it's harming my food. Not eating enough veg.

Successes: I can eat garlic! So I'm on the FODMAP diet to try and figure out what is wrong with my gut. Well I come from a family that uses multiple cloves of garlic in a dish and then tops it up with some garlic powder. But for this diet I've gone off garlic, onions & oniony like, high fructose fruits, etc. to test them individually. I definitely pinned down onions as a problem food last fortnight but have been waiting for my gut to heal a little before trying on garlic. Well I haven't had any issue. Made a spag bol sauce last night with the most delicious garlicky flavours and it didn't hurt me. I could dance. It seems so silly but pinning down my problem foods has been so helpful. Next I'm trying apples- wish me luck because dear lord almighty I miss my apples!

Today I ran. A block. I haven't been able to run outside for years. And even though I still needed my inhaler, it was awesome, and my puppy was happy to go for a small run at the end of our walk.

I'm in!

Success/struggles this week: struggling to stay motivated when my weight loss has slowed down on the scale. However, I tried on a pair of shorts that haven't fit me and four years and they are really close to fitting, so I found this to keep me motivated instead.

I'm in too!

Successes/struggles this week: I was offered a job on Friday! I have been out of work for 10 months, so this is very exciting! I did not go out and party, actually, I stayed true to my calorie intake for the rest of the week. I think what “got” me was that I did not exercise on Friday or Saturday. Plus, just another reason why I try not to weigh more than once a week since I know the scale can go up and down daily and this is usually very discouraging to me. Here’s to a great week of working out!
