Stepping back on the scales It’s been a long time since I updated.  Mainly because covid got in the way of everything. I lost 4 stone and then in 2020/2021 I gained it all back on.  To say I’m embarrassed about it, is an understatement. In June this year, we have planned a holiday to […]

Pause for thought Every journey is made of small steps.   We are now half way through April.  This year has been quite shocking so far.  In January, Australia burned and we thought that would be the defining thing for 2020.  Boy were we wrong! My family dynamic has changed so much since the beginning of […]

Taking stock Stopping to smell the roses. My daughter’s press night is in a few weeks (she’s currently in Tom Stoppard’s new play Leopoldstadt) and I was desperately trying to figure out what to wear. I dug through my wardrobe and discovered that many of my older outfits fitted me again! I had choices again for […]

1 Year On… A year is a long time. A year can be gone in a flash. A year is not such a long time… Three statements, all true. This last year has been full of ups and downs. But if I’m honest, when it comes to my weighloss journey, mostly ups (but downs!). My […]

Checking in, but doing ok! I’m still going… I’ve had a huge stall again, but this time, I really don’t mind. I’m feeling better about myself. When I wrote the last post I was 10lb heavier than I am now, but I’m 2 stone lighter than I was when I started Keto back on the […]

All Change… again! I am so impatient. I want to lose weight. I want to see the weight come off. I hate it when I stall, especially when I’m doing everything right. So I have two choices… Have patience and wait for the results (not me!), or find something else. I often find something else. […]

I’m baaaaaack! As you would have read back in April, I lost the plot. Unfortunately, I found it really hard to get back on track and while I was mindful of what I ate, I wasn’t actively trying to lose more weight. I don’t know why my brain wasn’t functioning, but it was in sabotage […]

When motivation goes… There is nothing worse than losing your mojo. I’m officially here. I’ve lost 3lb more since the last blog entry but I’ve stagnated. I purposely came off the diet to reset my metabolism over the easter weekend (the chocolate was an incentive to be honest), but have struggled to get back on […]

Goal Two – SMASHED! When I first started this journey, I split it into mini goals. The first goal was to get back to my prework weight. I started a new job on 22nd October last year and while I was sitting at a desk all day, I gained 1stone 2lb. So my first goal […]

Don’t Quit! Sometimes things don’t go to plan. This week, I’ve been as good as gold. I’ve kept doing what I’ve been doing but for some reason, this weeks weigh in did not reflect it. I lost only 1/2 lb. In the past, I may have quit. I may have thought “f*ck it, what’s the […]
