It seems like every once in a while I end up caving and having a blow out. And it always coincides with my time of the month but now I'm thinking I just see that as an excuse or a free pass of something. So I'm going to try and get out of this habit.

ugh, i hear ya here. got my periods back 2 months ago and i'm finding it INSANELY difficult to stick to the healthy eating crap in the day or two before and the first two days of my period if you have any tips on how to cope, i am ALL ears. <3

and uber gtz on the 12st mark!

Sorry guys, I suck so much at keeping this updated these days. Uni is just so full-on. Start my first placement on Monday (only a 2 week observe & assist one to ease us in!) in a school only 5.5 miles from me. If I could drive, it would be perfect, only 15 mins away. However, I don't so public transport/a bit of walking takes it up to a one hour commute each way . Needs must though!!

Food wise I have been on the ball, packed lunches every day and been getting at least 30 mins of exercise 5 days a week so fingers crossed I can report back with a healthy loss in 2 weeks time!

Hope you are all doing well

My wee sister and I are joining one of those Energie Fitness For Women gyms on Tuesday! Well, we have a free day pass and are going along to try it out and have a chat with them. I reckon it'll suit us both and we can help keep each other motivated too.

I'm also going to try and keep this updated with food diaries again starting from tomorrow. The time is NOW! haha.

 

[Lady_Amalthea]

Poor show, Erin, poor show!!

Ok, food diaries start again today!

split the diff one day a week - bus it to, walk home hour of exercise in addition to what you're doing already can only help, and it'll only be until the weather turns too shitty for walking.

concentrate on living healthy, loss will come in its own time

Hello everyone!

I am so nervous about starting my placement tomorrow. I'm sure once the first day is over with I'll feel better but right now I am a tad panic-stricken!! This placement is only 2 weeks for observation/assistance and I am in the nursery tomorrow haha. Off to buy some teacher type clothes today. Thinking trousers and a smart jumper will be the better option for nursery/lower primaries where I assume I'll be moving around a lot more.

Not sure on the food front today yet. Will update that later tonight. For now, have another up-to-date picture of me & Calum (taken a week ago):



I actually bought myself some skinny jeans!! Never thought I would see the day.

I need to reign it in and get back on track! I've not exactly fallen off the wagon but I've become lax at calorie counting...it's all just guestimates at the moment. And lunch today wasn't very healthy
