Well, my last blog was pretty bold! So thought I would update where I’ve got to so far.

This week has been a real heavy week of work and some personal issues have cropped up too. So unfortunately things haven’t gone quite to plan. No surprise there! But I’ve still stayed positive!

This weekend I’m going to start a fresh and weigh myself on Sunday so I can get back into the routine of weighing myself every other Sunday in the month. I’m also going to do some food shopping at the weekend and get some more fresh fruit and vegetables. Great thing is both me and my husband have got into the habbit of buying and eating fresh fruit and vegetables with all meals.

I’ve started walking to and from work more often which is good! I still get the bus every now and again, but that’s when I’m carrying loads of stuff that I can’t carry (like the 8 pints of milk the other day!)

I’ll be going to the gym next Monday now and I’ll be chatting to one of the trainers there to help me with a new regime. My injured wrist still isn’t completely right, but it’s healed enough to start exercising it more which is great news!

Replacing pasta and rice with more veg has been very easy and very satisfying indeed! Also having healthier puddings is moving back in the right direction too! Having more low fat and low sugar yogurts to have with fruit is very nice and great to have in the hotter weather as it’s much more fresh!

Sugar in tea is getting there, slowly! I’m going to take some green tea into work so that I can start having that instead of normal tea and have a little bit of honey instead of sugar if it needs something to take that little bitter edge off.

As for being more headstrong against my health issues, it’s a very hard progress. I know it’s not going to happen overnight, not matter how hard I try and the physical symptoms are always there. But I’m feeling positive and I’m managing to get through each day with a bit more hope.

Nothing much else to report for the time being. But I’ve made an ok start and feel positive!
