Being healthy 80% of the time – is it good enough?
Today I saw some pictures of myself which I really didn’t like. It’s really really upset me, and yet again I realise that my relationship with food has led me down a dark path. Being healthy 80% of the time – is it good enough to help fix how I feel about my weight and appearance? Anyone who has read this blog for a while knows of my ongoing struggle with my weight and exercise. I am nothing if not a trier!!! (or is that trying ? ) Learning to be happy the way I am….. In fact, I decided to seek guidance from good old Google, to see if…

New fitness challenge
So in order to help with my weight loss journey, I purchased a subscription to Beach Body on Demand. I started off looking around and doing the 21 day fix but then I got ill and had to miss a week. Whilst off I was watching a Youtuber who has a facebook group for fitness challenges and they were starting 80 day obsession from the beginning of March, so I joined the group and it’s been brilliant. I mean it’s hard, actually scrap that it’s really bloomin’ difficult. Some of the positions they expect you to get into a contortionist might struggle with. I have been introduced into a world…

Weight loss update?
I have been doing weight watchers for about 6 weeks now, so I thought it was time for a quick update on how it’s going. I may try and do a weekly diary – let me know if this is something you would like to read! Weight loss progress Its been fairly slow, I lost an amazing 5 lbs in my first week, then I have done much smaller amounts since. In total I have lost 9 lbs to date – the app isn’t telling me that. As I rejoined from last year it’s only telling me the difference from when I joined in Feb 2017 to now rather than what…

Dabbling with Intermittent fasting
You know that I have done various posts on the subject of my weight (here is just one). This time I dallied with the world of Intermittent Fasting. I had done a fair bit of research on it in the past, I had the original 5:2 diet book and just recently I’d read a lot about 16:8 or 20:4. To those of you who do not know about intermittent fasting, you could start by reading this post here or the one I linked to above. I am not sure but I think the original guide was the one by Dr Michael Mosley. Intermittent fasting is supposed to have a plethora of health benefits, not…

The struggle is real….time for a rethink
This is probably going to be a longish post – I am not doing it for sympathy or advice. I just want to put down how I am feeling about my weight, how I look and my diet. Where do I start…..I don’t know why this post is making me feel uncomfortable to write. I don’t know if its embarrassment at my “failure” or acknowledgement that I do not have a healthy attitude to food. In any case, I have been thinking about writing this post for a long time; the time is finally here! Back to the start When I was little I was probably fairly average, I did have a…
