A Grand Total of….

…one kilo and I think I should be thankful that I lost any.

19 to go!

My resolutions for better eating unfortunately did not stay forefront in my mind and actions.

I am happy but stressed – I think that is possible, right?…so the stress of my new addition (but very happy stress) is sending me repeatedly to the kitchen.

I am drinking plenty of water and starting to move a bit more- that´s positive. My incision pain is gone and while I am still being careful, I feel hope for the future- my future of getting back to jogging

On the negative side, I am making bad food choices due to lack of thought and time. I have to work on that. Sitting down to a meal at the moment- impossible! I need to plan smaller snacks for myself and prepare them. My husband has been great when he has been home, which is another plus.

Today I did make it out onto the balcony though to pick loads of salad greens and had a big bowl of salad- my first for days.

In other news, all my decluttering plans are on hold, its hard enough just keeping up with the daily grind . My poor garden is behind schedule as well.

Thank you to everyone who wished Baby well yesterday, hopefully things will be back to normal by the weekend

While I have nothing earth shattering to blog about, I am enjoying reading everyone else´s blogs and also discovering a few new writers and sources of inspiration along the way. Please forgive me if I´m not commenting a lot this week.

Health Matters – Wednesday Weigh-In

I have been avoiding this for some time (two weeks and one day to be exact), however today is the day to start eating healthy so I can make headway on my initial goal of losing 20 kilos (44 pounds)…eek. I say initial as another 10 kilos on top of that would be optimal in the long long term.

The last two weeks have been filled with far too much bread and butter (bored in hospital), chocolate (bought by my well meaning husband), icecream (ditto), cookies and takeaway food.

I think I can safely say that I have had enough indulgence and even though I am breastfeeding and need my energy, that I don´t need that much energy! I know from past experience that I have to put the brakes on and due to being overweight already, I don´t need to eat extra. Luckily, the warm weather is here (mostly) so I feel more motivated to try and eat properly.

I haven´t fully got to grips with my apple three times a day plan, however I can always start again today – I have been a bit sporadic.

The other thing I am going to do as of today, is chocolate only once a week (Sundays?) and reread some healthy eating and cooking books this week for inspiration.

I will report back each Wednesday on how the scales have moved…
