May #accountability

Here's a few good days. Sadly, although I'm weighing, tracking and exercising there's nothing much to show for it yet. Off to a good start and a new week determined to get rid of the May gains

#DOAP

2 weeks of careful weighing, tracking and sticking close to a plan I enjoy, and I'm finally starting to shift the May gains. A whopping 500g gone and back where I was a couple of months ago. The increased water seems to be helping too with only a few disturbed nights.

Thanks for the kick I needed Janet Magin . I'm going to keep on with my #DOAP (day on a plate - with tracker) to stay accountable. Off to make some breakfast ricotta quiches for a change.

Determined to keep this up till at the end of the month and beyond. Trying to get rid of my May gains but heavy rain put paid to my walk today so had some 'me time'. Wandered round Pasadena Foodland then watched Mrs Harris goes to Paris


I've kept this up for 6 weeks but after an initial good loss it's been creeping up each week .... so frustrating. I know we don't count calories (or kilojoules) but the difference been between my ins and outs is so tiny, I'm lucky if I lose 200g in a month!

Fast Start ... the journey begins

Well, I decided to bite the bullet and try TWD 'Fast Start'. I've been on various meal plans for over 3 years but, after a good initial loss, Covid and life in general got in the way and there's been very little progress since. My reasons for trying this? 1. I need a fresh start and new focus  2. I have upcoming surgery and need recovery time (my husband can't cook) so want to simplify things  3 As a 'Group Expert' I'd like to be better informed PREPARATION DAY and DAY ONE ... discovering the pitfalls Set up was fun. Firstly, I managed to start immediately instead of just previewing, so my first day became week 2! Next I found I'd set level 2 (much as I'd like extra milk for coffee, I certainly don't need three shakes) Then I got an email asking for my weight and picture... really? Got there in the end though Now for the shakes themselves. I've never tried replacement meals so was not sure what to expect. For breakfast I chose strawberry

Glutton for punishment

Well, the sun finally put in an appearance so we made an early start and headed down the Fleurieu Peninsula to Goolwa for siteseeing, walks and coffee. 4 different walks and 250% of my recently increased daily steps. (Perhaps not what the doctor ordered after my heavy session in the gym yesterday..... my poor knees and quads!) First stop was the Nangawooka Flora Reserve just outside Victor Harbor. Lots of well labelled native shrubs, winding walkways and birds. Next, on to Bombora on the River for #coffeeoclock and brunch before popping down to the barrage. The gates are open and water levels rising fast. Still plenty of seals and pelicans providing the entertainment Then drove across the bridge to Hindmarsh Island and off to the viewpoint for the Murray Mouth. No dredgers needed at the moment and the Coorong in full flow. Finally, a trip to Port Elliott, Horseshoe Bay,  Freeman's Knob and the Frenchman's rocks coastal path. Those steps at the end were punishing!
