BoatingMommy- Oh I KNOW that I should eat more often lol .. I have been told that for years ... and for a while I was good and did at least 3 meals at the right times each day .. but tried to do the 6 small meals and all I felt like was that I was eating all day
I have gotten better with my calorie intake .. Im eating pretty much the amount I have eaten for years .. the only difference is that I have cut out the chocolate & cookies. If I did more exercise I probably would eat more often, but Im pretty sedentary at the moment other than housework and working occasionally. But today has started well having a shake for breakfast (which I usually skip cos now I feel ick consuming something other than water lol .. )
ShyHeather - it doesnt affect me as much as it used to ... I dont go out very often now lol .. but I do find it hard to eat in front of some people .. my mother is one lol .. but that is only because she is vocal in what or how much I am eating ... I know she means well, but it does get annoying.
Diet bet?? What on earth is a diet bet???
Mara - Nooo .. not too late .. jumping in any time is ab fab! Welcome on board
You will find I natter a lot more than everyone else lol .. I tend to think as I type then my posts get longer as I am typing what I am pondering lol. So to give you a shortened idea of some of my suggestions .. weekly overview of everyones results and team results in a spreadsheet which I will post Wednesdays .. photos before and after challenge .. xmas card exchange ... measurement changes each month .. positive post or sentence each day you post ... recipe ideas for healthy meals ... so let us know what you are thinking .. we are here to support each other and happy to have you on board the journey with us
So as I said .. I started the day with a Kate Morgan Cappuchino shake .. I tell myself its like having a coffee .. but its so filling my tummy is not comfortable with a food of any kind in the morning ... but I will persevere with the breakfast-ish to try to get at least back to 3 meals a day instead of one plus snacks lol.
Im a lot happier today ... my hunny is home with me .. after almost 12 years together I thought I would be happier to not see him so much lol .. but nope .. love every minute I am with him ... even when he drives me nuts lol. Today I am going to do a hunt for a tape measure and get my measurements, then I am getting my hunny to take my pic (eek) and Im going to post it when he gives it to me rather than waiting until the end of the challenge (talk about scary lol). We have some general house cleaning to do (as I did most of it through the week so not much for the weekend) and just hanging out together with our dogs ...
