Hi lovelies,
How are we all doing, now that the solstice has passed. Yay for longer days for me at least - this morning the sun rose at 8:08am and set at 5pm. It makes for a very long dark night, that's for sure.
I've spent the weekend doing a bit of thinking about where I'm going and I've figured out I need to get back to making myself accountable. On the plus side, I'm doing really well with exercise. I'm enjoying it and it's not an effort to get myself out of bed at stupid o'clock and get to the gym. Now that is a huge thing and I'm really proud of myself for that. Seriously, six months into the year and I've been at the gym 5 days a week and missed only 5 sessions. I definitely deserve a big star for that. Measurements are also going well and I want them to keep going well.
And then there's the food side of things and to be honest, the less said about that for the last few weeks, the better. There's been a little too much junk food creeping back into my diet and I'm forgetting about the fruit and vegies. Yes, it's the middle of winter and fruit and veg is limited, but there's still a lot out there that I love. Cauliflower, broccoli, mandarins etc. When I ordered the groceries last night, I looked over my last order and there were a few things in there that made me cringe. Seriously, do I really need to put potato chips and chocolate biscuits on my list because I deserve a treat? I'm starting to reward myself with food, and that stops right now. Because we all know where that ends up.
So from today, I'm holding myself completely accountable. I am going to post menus every day and I am going to be completely honest with myself about what I have eaten. Starting right now.
Jab, how are your allergies now? It's a difficult time of year for those...
