Had the nicest day today. Caught up w ith my sister over coffee and then my husband and I headed off to Hastings for the day. Just a lazy drifting through sort of day. Bad luck to all the washing, dusting, cleaning and tidying that needed doing! We sat in a cafe, had some fairly ordinary lunch and read the paper. Hahaha- obviously not newly weds! Our eyes were locked to the text instead of each other. Isn't it a lovely feeling though, to feel so comfortable that you don't have to make conversation and instead can be as anti social as you like and still enjoy each others company?

Why is yoga so hard? I find it so difficult to bend myself into shapes that I'm sure I wasn't designed to bend into! The only positive I can find is that if I find it so hard it must be doing me good!!!

We went away for the weekend which was lovely. I'm finding this year really hard and so a couple of days away from the rat race really helps to get me back on keel. However.....the eating also had a holiday!!! But I hadn't realised how bad I felt when I overate on all the wrong stuff. Today ( Monday) been much better- not perfect- but better. Ran this afternoon for only 3k but now my hip is telling me all about it! For any Melbournites who read this- hasn't the weather just been awesome...on the improve all the time. And for you Deb........ I really wish I was in Queensland where the weather is better all the time! Next year we may head up that way for a while.

This week hasn't been too bad with the eating plan. At least I feel a bit more in control. If I have bad things I plan to have them! Weight is down 1kg since I started so that might be fairly permanent ( well....... depends I guess!!). Hit the gym tonight- that doesn't happen nearly often enough. Had a really good work out/ I've been doing more stuff at home with dumbells etc so it was good to use machines again. Nothing much else to report- nothing funny, amusing, exciting etc. Life is just racing by and time lines are looming up.......FOR THE LAST TIME!!!! whoooooooweeeeeeeeee

A truly amazing thing has happened! I was feeling a bit down in the dumps so employed my usual rememdy ( eating) and bought some liquorice allsorts. Now usually I can consume these quite freely and will do so until the pack is finished! However after about 4 of them I got a really sicky sweet taste that I didn't really like and went in search of a healthier option- dried apples and nuts!!! Am I cured?????????

I had a really bad attack of the munchies tonight:(( eventually satisfied the cravings with a cooked banana, lowfat ice cream ( is there really such a thing???) and diet chocolate topping. I guess it's got to be better for me than the block of chocolate I would have previously consumed in my bad old days!!. Has anyone noticed the site counter on here???? Please give me a pat on the back- that was a mighty effort to get it there!!

I have a theory. It's to do with time travel. I reckon time travels MUCH faster on the weekends than it does during the week!! Where the heck has this weekend gone??? I look around and it's time to pack my bags again for Monday.

I promise I am NOT going to give a day by day account of my diet but I am pleased at how disciplined I've become!!. Maybe not totally great but at least a bit more ordered. If I haven't written down that I'm going to eat something then I find I can say no to it. So- no biscuits, no chocolate, no lollies. I go out for lunch every Thursday and usually have the same thing ( I know- very boring) but this time I wrote down the salad roll and only HALF a caramel slice! I actually gave the other half away cos I didn't really trust myself. Now if that aint improvement I don't know what is. And while I'm patting myself on the back I can boast about the swimming I did tonight. whooweee- way to go! I don't enjoy swimming cos I really can't do it but I wrote it down and so before I knew it I was in the pool!!

Oh bliss! Oh wonderful wonderful bliss!!! A coffee and toast for breakfast! Gone is the caffeine withdrawal headache!! Day 3 now and still fairly good with eating. Did go out for a pizza with husband and daughter but that was the only bad thing I had. Lost a kg overnight according to the scales at the gym! Love those scales.

Started on my own challenge today and for the first time in ages I had a good eating day! Day 1 a success!! Also went to gym and did a workout. Took it pretty easy as my hip gets really sore, Not sure what is going on there but impact stuff really doesn't help it
