Another Day Done

Completed food diary, did the vibroplate and drank my water yesterday as planned.  Success.

Mood: Good

Today, I feel... like I can try harder. I know I can't get to the gym tonight, so I really need to keep an eye on what I eat. I will try to go to the VibroPlate tonight (it's only 10 mins).

Plus point - ordered 'portion pots'
Lesson learned - drinking more water means more frequent loo trips!

Although it says I burned 0 calories yesterday I did use the vibroplates, I know you don't burn lots of calories but my arms and legs to ache afterwards, so it must do some good!

I ordered the Portion Pots yesterday and I'm hoping they help me with portion control.  I am continuing to feel upbeat and positive this week (but it is only Wednesday!).  

Off to the gym tonight.

Must give credit to my virtual diet buddy Deirdre for bringing this site to my attention.

I only signed up on Sunday night and I’m hooked already! Even if I don’t use all areas of it, I’m loving the ‘The Daily Plate’ function. It is a bit of pain having to enter in all the food you eat but well worth it in the end. It also helps me achieve my goal of writing down everything I eat!

Today, I feel...hungry. Always happens when I want to start fresh again! I tried hard to snack healthy but blew it when it came to dinner. Too much pasta and could have made if a low fat, healthier option.

Plus point - I did get to the gym!

Lesson learnt - I need to order 'portion pots’

'You may delay, but time will not'. (Benjamin Franklin)

Last week was a busy week so I didn't get to update.  I am also sitting here thinking that I wasted time, I wasted a week.  No matter the excuse, the week has passed by and I'm no further on in my weightloss journey.  Need to step it up a gear!

Monday I weighed in and was down 2lb, yay me!  I went to the gym on Monday night and did my usual routine.  Unfortunately I never got back to the gym the rest of the week.  

Tuesday night was GB night for the girls and I just couldn't make the time.  Wednesday night I was at the Grand Opera House to see David Essex in All The Fun Of The Fair (brilliant to hear all his old hits again!).  Thursday night I wanted to spend with Caitlin as she was going into hospital the following day for an operation to get vents in her ears.  Friday we were at the hospital all day and taking care of Caitlin in the evening.  Saturday we took the girls to Build A Bear (whoever thought of this idea must be a millionaire!) and today I took the girls to an indoor play centre.

So there you have it.  Normal service must resume next week.  

I must keep a food diary this week to get me back on track again.

I must get to the gym at least 3 times this week.  

I must eat healthily and make healthy choices.

I must drink plenty of water.  

I must think positive.
