You are definately doing 10times better than me on the body magic side...wanted to get straight back to the gym after my time away, but have this virus that doesn't want to leave me!

Morning
Im struggling today. I had a sneeky peak at the scales this morn (I know I shouldnt as weight is Sat) and they havent moved, not one tiny bit! I feel like i have had a 100% week, extra exercise and min alcohol / naughties and nada.
I still have a stone till target and just feeling deflated. I am going to keep going with the plan and make some changes. IE - reduce my portion sizes and switch to mainly red rather than EE as I have had a mixed history on EE. (apart from today as I have left over shep pie for lunch!)
Fingers crossed it gives a kick..
