I just bought myself one of these so I can track my heart rate and calorie burn whilst exercising. Hope it works as it could just be a waste of money!

I weighed myself on one of those boots weight machines this morning and I can no longer live in denial that my scales at home are broken...



10st 5lbs it is. I'm really hopeful those additional 2lbs are muscle but my body fat % isn't as low as I'd hoped either. Why can't I skip the boozy/foody weekends!?

New goal is to get to between 18-22% body fat!

Only 5lb over target, you're doing great.

Congratulations on the wedding! How has the last month been? Amazing I bet! xx

 

[vintagepockets]

Hi guys. So I'm back!

Non-stop indulgence since the wedding has started to take it's toll so it's time to kickstart the New Year with a return to SW. My husband has gained quite a bit of weight since the wedding so I'm putting us both back on the diet. I'm planning to do it religiously this month as I'm also doing dry January which makes things a bit easier. Also planning to restart my gym membership this week which I cancelled after starting a part-time graphic design course as I was struggling to find the time (and motivation) to get to the gym. Planning to start going before work (I'm not a morning person so we'll see how that goes!) Hopefully if I'm angelic for this month it will get me back into a healthier attitude.

So here's my food diary for today (I'll update throughout the day). No WI today as planning to do it on Wednesdays as I did before so will update then.

Food Diary...

Breakfast - frozen berries, liberte blueberry (1 syn), 35g dorset muesli (HEXb), actimel 0% (1.5 syns)

Lunch - chilli con carne w/ rice, 10g rf cheddar (HEXa)

Dinner - cup a noodle to go mild curry, apple

Snacks - kiwi, 3 sea salt caramels (6 syns guesstimate), 2 ryvita (3.5 syns) w/ 10g philadelphia light & marmite

3 tea w/ skimmed milk (HEXa)

Total syns (so far) = 12

Just popping in to subscribe. Re: Bootea - apparently it's just like peppermint tea so I would just try that and see if it helps.

Thanks. It's the night one I'm interested in as apparently it's a bit like having a colonic (lovely). In that it flushes out all your nasties. The website says it's best to have the first one at the weekend. Sounds like it could do some good.

I know that Holland & Barret do a slimmatea that has senna in it (natural laxative) so that could be an alternative also?

Thanks for the tip I'll give that one a go as the bootea is £20 for a 2 week detox plus £4p&p!!!

I went out for lunch with a friend yesterday to a local Manchester chain called Gusto and had a SW friendly meal so did alright yesterday overall. I also went to Holland & Barrett to get the Slimatea but they sold the bootea so I caved and bought it. Going to start it tomorrow and have my first night time one on Tuesday as I have college Monday and Tuesday nights and don't fancy having to get up every half an hour to go to the loo!
