Back again and into a very busy few weeks whilst dealing with a knee injury which is limiting my exercise. So what can I do (would be so nice to have some success for a while after some poor choices for a while). I can: - do knee rehab. Every. Single. Day. Even if it's just the 10 min version. It definitely helps. - choose…

So a week of average to not so good eating but below average exercise as I have a knee injury and really can't train properly at the moment. Off to Dublin for 3 v intense days of work tomorrow (although thankfully in English for a change). Goals during hat time: - Do basic knee rehab routine Every. Single. Day. - Avoid any…

Thanks all for your birthday wishes. Had a good day and did indulge a bit. And.... my focus on eating good nutritious food rather than obsessing over calories is definitely doing something. ... I started a box of chocolates and didn't want to finish it! That NEVER used to happen. So that's where I will continue to put my…

Thursday's goals: - continue to eat well on the whole - it's my birthday so will allow myself some treats and I will choose them consciously - be grateful and mindful of how lucky I am in life

Achieved and managed to exercise despite injuries. Another really 'good food' day. Feeling less sluggish and as though I'm doing myself good. :-)

Wednesday's goals: 1. Eat what my body needs, not what my emotions want 2. Continue reducing calorie count back towards my old daily goal. And... remember to be grateful for all that I have, for my upcoming birthday and all the friends and family I will see this week. So lucky.

Thanks for the welcome back messages, all!! So how did I do? :-) Had some great nutrition for the day.... good healthy veggie protein, definitely had my 5 a day too :-) resisted the urge to eat junk at lunch and instead hose a tasty and healthy nutritious salad Did have a little more wine with dinner than should have…

Thanks #68myra

Thanks bri170lb

So... forgive me friends for I have sinned and it's been over 2 weeks since my last post. I've eaten badly, exercised when I can and miraculously only put on a pound after a very busy / stressful couple of weeks at work.... I now have a couple of minor injuries which are stopping me exercising for a short while, so as I…

Saturday's goals: - complete my house jobs list so I can completely relax on Sunday - good food choices AND I will allow myself to have a scone at the teashop in the afternoon and a glass of wine in the evening - :)

Forgot to report back on Thursday and set goals for Friday. Thursday can be summarised by "wow I pigged out" Friday can be summarised by "Nice recovery and hit goals" (the recovery was from a potential disaster on the calorie front.... went for a coffee after bootcamp. Arrived a few mins after my friends to find they'd…

Thursday's goals - sensible food choices all day then enjoy my meal out with friends. I know I'll be over target tomorrow and I'm ok with that if I eat to plan u til the evening - meditate. Not doing enough of this!!

**Sigh** Yes to double bootcamp and pushing it :) Hmmmm. Had 1 biscuit at sister's and resisted more :| A bit over on calories despite double bootcamp. Basically. ... on bootcamp days I don't eat before class (or maybe half a glass of home juiced vegs). On double class days that means I eat breakfast around 12, have a very…

Wednesday's goals - double bootcamp and work hard - avoid having ANY biscuits at my sister's - hit calorie target or under

Tuesday's goals - Really enjoy and appreciate the time I'll have with my 94 y.o. Nan.... I don't see her as much as I should so really.make it count! - Manage portion size at lunch at my dad's tomorrow .... to help me come within 10% of calories target

- Weigh in... about half to 3/4 of a pound down. Small... and it's still progress - Did double bootcamp. First time in ages. - my jobs list (no idea how it can out as 'observations list' above: Yes made really good progress. Need to keep the momentum going. Will be SO good to get the lot done!

Well done Joan! Only YOU can change your mind and mood.... and notice how you did it this time so you can do it again. Big smiles at your recent success!

Monday's goals - weigh in - double bootcamp if my knees hold out - get through my observations list (I have this week off work to get through a long list of house/personal jobs... need to make it worth it!)

Whoops. There was ice cream. 'Nuff said.

Sunday's goals - within 10% of calorie target. Will mean watching I don't overeat at the buffet lunch....

Over on calories by 20%. Forgot I'd had 30g of muesli as a pre - supermarket snack... didn't remember till just now after finished eating and logging for day (would have been in line with JFT goal otherwise). At the same time am pleased with some of my decisions today: -I realised I actually Didn't want a glass of wine…

Saturday's goals - be within 10% of net calories - get 3 jobs from my list done

Worked as hard as I could at bootcamp 80 cals over net goal... it was a long hard day and I'll live with it

Friday's goals: - push it at bootcamp - hit net calories which means minimum alcohol when out in the evening Once more, remind myself of the wonderful web of supportive connections I have in life. :-)

Achieved all. Am even slightly under calorie target which I find tough on non - bootcamp days. My evening trick was to spiralise a courgette into 'spaghetti' to eat with my veggie quorn sauce. Very tasty and saves a tonne of calories by avoiding pasta. Root canal surgery went v well thanks. Painfree while in the chair. The…

Well done. Take a moment to notice how much you did achieve. And replace the word 'failure' with 'learning'. :-)

"Do or do not, there is no try" Yes, you CAN!

Thursday's goals: - stay within 5% of net calories - meditate and stay calm for my dental surgery (root canal... Yuck! ) - Remember the September goal and the wonderful connections and resources I can access to help me achieve it
