    4 servings of veggies
    2 servings of fruit

    Next week:

    1. Finish week 4 in c25k
    2. Work on getting more protein
    3. Do at least 1 strength training session (ugh)

I have a study day today which means being home alone revising all day, been up since 6am and so far so good, normal on plan breakfast and coffee, going to have a pick me up snack of plain yoghurt, banana and maple syrup (15ml) then get back at them books. Been taking a 3-5min break every hour to have a boogy to the radio!

    Today has been the best day so far, everything has been on plan and exercise completed with a smile on my face. Normally by this stage I have quit... but today is day 14 and although I am now back at my re'start weight, still waking up each day to try again.

    Another day like today would be fantastic.
