Just an observation really but I've noticed the whole twice I've been swimming recently, I am the most smiliest person in the best mood ever for the rest of the day afterwards! I usually feel pretty good after exercising but this is even better lol.

Well...last week was not good at all! Lets just say I overindulged with a bit too much of everything. So I'm not counting it, I didn't even weigh myself until yesterday and found that I hadn't put anything on which is good I suppose as it means I'm just starting where I left off. Despite eating too much I done a lot more walking than usual last week so I'm thinking that helped.

I also found it was my totm on Saturday there so I'm gonna blame the overeating and horrible moods on that. I don't get them very often as I get the injection so hopefully I won't have another week like that for a while.

Anyway, back on track today so things can only get better

I've also decided weigh day is now a Sunday morning as doing Wednesdays for some reason feels longer than Sun - Sun. Plus I give myself an off day after my weigh in and it seemed to develop into off days on Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun as the next Wed still seemed a far way off. So now it's Sunday which means I'll be good at the weekends and good with the start of each week.

So far today I've had:

B: yoghurt
L: seeded wholemeal pitta bread with moroccan houmous, lettuce and cherry tomatoes. 1 red apple. 1 cup of tea with milk and sweeteners.

Hey Hun,

Good for you for putting last week behind you. TOTM has a lot to answer for doesn't it! I have cravings big time, not to mention mood swings!

Getting back to it staright away is the best thing to do, and it's good that you haven't gained any weight.

Good Luck with it xx
