Welcome back on your restart, your food looks good.

I always think that any exercise is good, you say your 30 minute walk was all you could manage but that in itself is a good achievement, well done x

Thank you Becky I managed 1hr walk today so was really pleased with that, it all adds up in a week I cant wait to get back to the gym and swimming but I have a few more weeks to wait for that as my internal stitches will take longer to heal But I am enjoying walking and have been planning my meals ahead so I have every intention of staying on plan and getting to my goal xx

I didn't do any exercise for the first couple of months and everything was lost through diet. .... you'll soon be up to full speed I'm sure x

They definitely will, and it gets easier as you go along. ..To start off I was losing because I was so stubborn I refused to give in but now I find it easy to stick with it.

I had an epic lunch yesterday bit within half an hour of eating it I was working out how to compensate with it. ..I never would have in the past!

The start of my journey is missing because my diary was in the wrong place and admin deleted it but I kick started with very clean eating. ... a big thing for me too was to stop drinking. ...work and personal pressures had got me to the point where a bottle of wine a night was the norm. ..cutting that out had a huge impact on my calorie intake!

Now my biggest problem is sugar but I try to restrict myself on that so it doesn't get too out of hand!

I have got good at estimating calories too so yesterday I knew roughly what the damage was going to be before I checked. ...that is a big help when you're eating out

I'm sure that you'll do well with this as you seem very determined x

Reading through your diary and I just want to say well done for keeping going. You have had a lot to contend with but you are not giving in - great!!!!

I found a diary I did on here 4 or 5 years ago earlier. ....its like I was a completely different person and never stayed on the wagon for anymore than a week or two at a time!

Ah wow!! I bet that was really interesting to read!! I read through mine a while ago, its surprising how many I have started over the years. Glad to say, most of it showed some progress but much like you, I fell of the wagon a fair few times!! This is definately the last diary I am writing and intend to see it all the way through to the end xx

 

[blubex]

I can't wait until the day I can change my diary title to maintaining!
