What a crock! I forgot when I was doing my Daily Log that I had 16 carbs worth of sweet potato crisps AND 1 low-carb wrap with my dinner. Not really worried about that because for the two days, it works out at around 32 for each day.

I was at TWO gyms again today! Yes, I said 2!! 

Went to cardio, which was treadmill for 45 mins while watching yet another great film. 

I came in at the last 45 minutes of the film and I can't remember the name but it was really good. I then did some machines, weights, floor exercises and then went on to my toning tables and did an hour there. Woah!! My motor was running today!!

* The cheese and biscuits were eaten last night but I had already done my log so I have just added it to today's. I can still have something later if I get peckish, like a low-carb bar or something.

It was difficult after dinner tonight. The rest of the family had double chocolate chip cookies and I had........none :0(

It's my weigh-in tomorrow.  I feel confident that I have lost something but I don't think it will be much.

I hit the gym twice this week. Both cardio with my trainer. Next week I am on my own to see how I cope with it. I would rather have a gym buddy.

Not felt hungry at all today. Although it is only 6.30pm and the night is still young. There is a bottle of red in the cupboard and I may crack it open later and have some cheese and crackers.

I had 1 more hour with an instructor today, just to finish the week. Can't afford to keep using him so will be on my own next week. Ideally, I would like to use him 3 times per week for the next 3 months, but being a part of the gym he obviously can't do a crash course like that and it seems I can only do a 12month contract.....?

Had a 'blip' in the day today. Raining bad and I was stuck at home so I called for help on my FB page. There was actually someone on FB at the time..ooooo... who suggested a piece of chocolate. 

As I thought that suggestion was such a great idea, I went to the fridge to get it and found my pulled chicken. It turned out the same amount of carbs as the chocolate and a lot more food - Me Happy :0)

My day at the gym with my instructor tomorrow morning. Really looking forward to that.... ;0)

Yes, I had a high carb breakfast and I had 2 cakes today.

For my weigh-in this week please go to the bottom of this page.

Yes, you saw correctly. I had a high carb breakfast. I just fancied a crispy milky cereal and I saw my husband was munching on bran flakes.

We were so busy with school plays etc, today that there was nowhere else to eat but the local coffee shop that sells coffee AND...cakes. So....cinnamon rolls earlier and banana, coffee and chocolate chip cake later. Only had 1/3 of the cinnamon roll and 1/2 of the coffee cake.

For my weigh-in this week I have gained 1 lb - Are we really surprised?

Carbs for this week has worked out at 365, which is averaging 51 carbs per day.

It has been quite difficult this week. As well as feeling cold I have a cold too. Not flu, but just a cold so no fever or anything.

An interesting week at the gym. I started at a new gym and arranged for an instructor. I was literally ringing wet through by the time he's finished with me. Why do they have to try and kill you before you take the first bloody step!!

Anyway, I did it and came out aching like mad and I am back on Monday for the next saga! Monday I think will be my 2nd and last for a couple of weeks to see how I go on my own....

An interesting day at the gym today with my instructor. When he was finished with me I was like a wet rag – and that’s an understatement!

Another session with him on Monday and hopefully my system will be kick started. I Won't be able to have him all the time, but there's no harm in trying to 'stoke the poof of smoke within'.

Today is the kind of day you want to avoid. No breakfast, as usual, and no calm sit down lunch. I threw down lunch while I was stood up because I was in a rush.

Dr's visit this afternoon, who prescribed antibiotics and, I don't know if anyone else feels like this but, I always think that antibiotics go so well with..........chocolate.  Not convinced? Neither am I really. I was just feeling cold and tired and reached for my comfort food.

I am starving and cold and coughing & spluttering. I think I'd better go to bed before I do more damage.

Sooo tired today. I did my bit at the gym though. I did 40 minutes on the treadmill. Did I tell you I'm in a cinema room with my treadmill. Fab atmosphere. Great film too. That's why I stayed so long on the treadmill. I usually can't stand more than 10 minutes. I have already discussed my 'inner poof of smoke' versus my 'inner fire'. It's still smoldering in there somewhere and will spark into life one day.  


Also did free weights and sit ups.....they were hard   


Didn't think I'd eaten that much today but the souffle was just baked and irresistible. In the company of good friends too.
