Glad you're feeling better now Shrimpy stressing doesn't help anyone plus it does funny things to our bodies like phantom gains which adds more stress. How about you get G to treat you to some more groupon pampering vouchers plus working out should help you de-stress too

I've had no time to work out and I think that's one thing that has been majorly peeing me off. I am getting home at 5.30, working til 7 eating and then working again til 10. It's not right, buut it's got to be done.

I'm not surprised you're stressed having to work like that. Look into kettleworx it's 20 mins 3 times a week and I find it much more doable than 30 day shred. Look at the secret to shaping up thread by a lady called kron on the fitness sub forum. C'mon Shrimps it's just 1 hr a week and trust me you'll feel great

 

[Shrimpy]

I want to. I am hoping to get back to the gym this week. I really LOVE the gym. I just need to carve out an hour a day. I deserve an hour a day. I know I do. I just need to start realising that it's okay if things don't get done instantly. I know what I must do, pity knowing isn't the same thing as doing.

Anyway. Too full now. My dinner was amazing. My husband is a genius!

Dinner: Harissa rubbed Roast turkey breast, roasted onions & carrots, steamed broccoli & roast potatoes. Mmmm
Pud (this is where it went wrong- in terms of over eating): pineapple & melon with total 0%.

I know what you mean about the getting things done I used to be like that EVERYTHING seemed to be more important than 'me time' then I thought why should I let my health & well being suffer because of other people? Life's too short in my opinion don't get me wrong I still have to do things in a 'certain' way in order for me to relax and be happy with what i do but I always make sure stress doesn't get the better of me. Even if you start by giving yourself half hour just to unwind every day until you make enough time to go to the gym then I think it will help to keep you more relaxed
