    Prudent, my memory got much worse, I had a lack of attention, was mentally weak - something was wrong with my brain, I guess. :) That stopped once I started taking good B12 supplements. I think there was something else as well, but I don't remember now. And I am not even talking about a raw food vegan diet, that was the most stupid thing. 30 bananas a day, ha ha!!

    Morning all,

    I have no trouble with my vegetarian diet, but do eat a fair amount of dairy so no Bvit issues, what I have found funny is after 7months of limited bread the days I been heavy on the bread leaves me some bloated and uncomfortable where I never had an issue before it's almost like im less tolerant to the gluten then I was before.

    Had a good day yesterday, How you doing AGGY? food ended up a mushroom omelette and salad for lunch and beans on toast for dinner after eating so much the day before really wasn't wanting food, kettlebells for exercise.

    Today is set for a similar theme.
    Bfast apple, cottage cheese, almonds
    Lunch salad& fruit
    Tea roasted veg and feta

    Yoga for exercise

    Have a great day everyone

    Thank you both :) I am now taking a B12 supplement after seeing a recommendations for one (Jarrow) on another thread. OH now eating a bit better because I am making healthier meals. I am giving him the options of eating them or making something different himself, so he is eating them.

    I am planning on spending a good amount of time on back exercises & Pilates today as my back is sore. I am having a day out with a friend, so not too sure about lunch.

    B. Green smoothie - rocket, spinach, cucumber, mint, kiwi, watermelon & hemp seed.

    L:?

    D. I made some slimming world mushy pea curry sauce yesterday. For dinner last night, I served it over sweet potato wedges. I added quorn pieces to the remainder and will have it with some rice this evening.

    tori.k I like the look of your food today.

    Really pleased, after my naughty weekend I've still lost a pound since last week :) Sadly my tummy is still exactly the same as when I started. Didn't help that there was a thing on the radio this morning about diabetes in people with large waist sizes.. I'm only just over 9 stone now but still counting as "obese" :( Good thing is I can definitely see the weight loss around my face :)

    Today's food is:
    Muesli for breakfast
    Half of yesterdays sweet potato and lean chilli for lunch
    Home made fish pie for dinner with some iced berries with chocolate sauce if I've done enough to earn them!

    Morning all,

    My gym class has bed cancelled again :( Finding it really annoying to not be able to get into a routine. Will go to the gym and use the machines instead I think as I haven't done that in ages.

    Also going to walk the dogs this morning and do the food shopping, so can stock up on more fruit and veg :) Roasted veg and feta sounds gorgeous tori, think I'll use that idea to help me use up the block of feta in my fridge :) thank you!

    Breakfast - cereal and toast
    Lunch - whatever I buy from the shop! Salad based hopefully!
    Dinner - not yet planned but lots of options in :)

    Jiggle free July is officially over! 100 lunges + 30 push ups + 100 sit ups. I did the push ups in batches of 10 - I definitely wouldn't have managed that 4 weeks ago. It's good to see progess so soon!

    The scales are my friend for now! I'll do a proper weigh and measure tomorrow, to start off August, but for now, I'm 2lbs down on Monday's weight, just by eating well. Not bad for 3 days! So, back to what I was a few weeks ago.

    Bfast has been blueberries, plenty of cottage cheese, cinnamon and ground almonds. Yummy!

    Have a good day!

    Well done on the jiggle free apple muncher :)

    I went to the gym today and did 40 minutes on the treadmill 3 walking, 32 running, 5 walking) and then 10 minutes on the bike. Quite pleased with myself and the 32 minute run :)

    Walked the dogs for over an hour and did a fair amount of other to-ing and fro-ing so did 20000+ steps :)

    Food was not healthy but not too bad calorie wise

    Breakfast- cereal and toast
    Lunch - Wispa and half a Brie sandwich
    Snack - Freddo and cheese
    Dinner - poppadoms, chicken korma with peppers, mushrooms and spinach

    See you all tomorrow

    Morning all,

    TGIF :D Well done Apple muncher :beer:

    A day off the gym for me as it's carnival tonight,with the village being closed it would mean a 15 mile diversion to get home, so will walk up to the village and watch that instead.

    Heavy day cutting firewood on Saturday if the weather will allow will be quite a workout in itself and spinning on Sunday.

    Food
    Bfast Overnight oat's (Blueberry and banana)
    Lunch salad box and watermelon
    Tea new potatoes, minted bean salad and feta.

    Hi guys, I am back from my holiday and am 2lb heavier. I ate a lot of bread in packed lunches, had a cream tea and other bits and bobs. Todays weigh in was never going to be good due to the holiday and the hormonal week coinciding. I did a ton of walking on holiday, up several mountains, I took my running kit and had a couple of lovely runs.

    I went running last night and will cycle today hopefully.
