Yep. It's that time again.
Finishing the goodies tonight and full steam ahead from tomorrow.
boringhealthy foods.Hoping the roads have thawed a little so I can get back to walking.
Bought a load of veggies, chicken fillets and salmon fillets.
Also bought a yoga dvd. Can't do high intensity workouts because of coronary artery disease (diagnosed last summer.. can't even manage stairs without breathlessness and palpitations.), so doc recommended yoga for now.
Anyway... Have been really good all week. But the cold today is making me want to eat rubbish. Haven't given in but very tempted.
But I have been excellent all week and got rid of what I put on over Xmas.
Heading away for a weekend in two weeks so plan on being good till then..
Biscuits don't interest me. But I love tortillas and dips or bacon fries when I'm watching tv.
Really need to find some sort of exercise. Has to be gentle though. Thinking about yoga.
Went to weightwatchers this evening.. down 4 pounds!!
I'm happy with that.

I'm glad this snow is going. Can't wait to get out walking properly again. Was still doing some but couldn't walk too fast because I was afraid of falling.
Managed to lose the few pound I put on over xmas so happy about that.
Aqua Aerobics tomorrow evening. Should be fun.
Hopefully the next time I see you, you'll be able to notice a difference.
How about you?
Was too tired, cold and hungry to wait for anything to cook so I had McDonalds. Did look up their website and worked out my points. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!
And now the snow and ice is gone -ish I can get out walking again.
I hereby declare that I will be a stone lighter then than I am now!!!
Any excuse to buy a new posh frock!

Cut a pic of a dress you like out of a magazine, cut your head out of a pic and stick it on the dress pic. Then put it on your fridge.
Positive thinking.

I'm happy with that considering how much I ate on Friday..sausage on a bread roll, 2 generous slices of fresh cream sponge and a few home measures of vodka..on top of my points.
My fridge is integrated so I can't stick anything on it. I have my "initial goal" skirt hanging on the outside of the wardrobe. Should manage to get into that in about 3 weeks or so..if I work at it.
Keep up the great work
The charities that come to mind are
the Irish Cancer Society as my mother died of Multiple Myeloma and my dad has it too, (although his is early stage and not progressing Thank God).
or the Irish Heart Foundation as I and all my family have heart problems.
or the Make a Wish Foundation which I think is a great organisation.
Open to suggestions if any of you have any.

I did it a few years ago with my Mum we both walked it and it was a brilliant day - and my Mum still talks about it.
Maybe ..... a few of us could do it anyone else want to do it ???
Oh we did it for Simon - I think I would do it for Simon again
Really enjoyed the day and raised nearly £1000 between us.
I think it would be great if a few of us did it. Wouldn't be able to train together.. but we could encourage each others training...set goals among ourselves.
As for me, I am still trying to shed the excess fat around my waist. I have been trying the MUFA diet, anyone familiar with it? Anyone have any experience with it?
Exercise is not helping...I am at the point where it's all about diet now, sit-ups are not doing anything. The food during the holiday season was just too good to pass-up!! Unfortunately I have people around me that like to cook and I like to eat!!
Anyone have any experience with the colon cleansers like ACAI?

How Do Colon Cleansers Work?
MUFA foods are foods with rich amounts of MonoUnsaturated Fatty Acids(MUFA). These acids actually fight fat and are used in addition to your regular diet or used exclusively when snacking to fill your self up and curb your appetite. An example, would be to add olive oil, avocados, and almonds to your salad. In between meals you get hungry and snack on natural peanuts, almonds, and walnuts to curb your appetite.

I hope my explanation and links are clear!!
