    You sound like you've had a really positive start to the year overall - a few hiccoughs along the way - we all get them... SW wise you sound organised. Go you!

    Thank you :)

    Feeling positive today :)

    I had a day 100% on plan yesterday, and have found a spot for my active 10 :T We always arrive at school early as we leave early enough to get to nursery and allow for traffic etc. We've always gone for a little walk to pass the time, but if we step up the pace, then there is my active 10 done :T So that was ticked off yesterday as well.

    I had a splitting headache yesterday (probably sugar withdrawal!) so I've had a more substantial breakfast this morning (rice pudding and fruit) which will hopefully stave it off today.

    2 parcels posted for DH this morning. 3 out of my 4 listings are selling so that's good. I filled up my car yesterday in case fuel prices go up with all the uncertainty in the middle east. That should do me for this month. A full tank always seems to last me longer than topping up little bits at a time.

    Happy New Year Jwil!

    Just a thought, but it may be worth talking to your GP regarding gym membership / SW membership. I have heard of people being prescribed membership to these where losing weight has a significant impact on their health - both physical and mental. I guess it varies dependant on area but definitely worth a chat.

    Good luck with everything- I’ll be cheering you on x
  • I weighed in yesterday and :eek: :eek::eek: is all I'm going to say.
  • Well done on the sugar withdrawal. I need to do that too. Hard to start but you will feel so well soon :)

    Thank you :) I had heard about that, and thought about asking my doctor, but when I went I was already going to SW and so I don't think they'd fund me as I told them. I'd love to do the gym but realistically I don't know when I'd go. My doctor also definitely seemed of the opinion I should be outdoors more too.

    Yup, me too :( 1/2 gain on my first week back!

    We can do it though, keep going :)

    Thank you :) Sadly it didn't last long. Someone bought in some chocolates at work, I had one, and it unleashed the beast. :(
