Welcome to week 2 everyone (or week 1 for some who didn't start last week)

For those of you who don't remember the rules, this is about feeling better about yourself so is not necessarily a diet per se but it is for six weeks, this is week 2.

The Rules

  • Sunscreen at all times. I know it's winter, there are still rays trying to damage your skin
  • No or little booze. The odd glass of wine at the weekend is allowed if you want it
  • Walking is important, a small amount every day if possible. 30 mins if you can, I am booking out lunch hours where possible to do this
  • Lots of water, aim for 2 litres a day
  • Apply body cream as often as possible. I am doing my heels daily too as they're lizard like
  • NEW RULE, HAND CREAM!
  • Go to bed early, by 10.30pm if pos
  • Eat healthily
  • Be happy

The idea is that at the end of six weeks we all feel happier, healthier and glow with the good food, sleep, exercise, water and lack of sun damage.

You don't have to report back every day but I almost certainly will as it motivates me thinking someone is watching me.

Ok, I've done pretty well apart from drinking last night but I am feeling highly motivated and I have kept it up for six days now (excepting the drinking on Sat) so welcome all members old and new.

I have been reading loads of womens mags this weekend btw and ALL the looking younger/feeling better advice is as above, I AM pleased!

If you've been doing well, here's a gold star

And if you haven't been doing so well, here's a badge for you

MI, don't forget the virtuous smoothie corrupted by vodka trick...

Not so good here today, I'm afraid. Started off okay - lots of green tea (flavoured with pineapple, strangely pleasant), granola and fruit. Walked to shops, via park and swings, to buy leeks for making soup. Also, much water. Oh, and I think I might be going to yoga on Tuesday!

However, have been to child's party this afternoon and snarfed two Mini Rolls and several Wotsits and may, just may, feel the need to eat sticky toffee pudding after a large bowl of pasta tonight. But it will add to my happiness quotient and I won't drink wine, so that's okay, right?

Can I ask for a packet of Quavers to be taken into consideration? (dh bought them, I didn't know we had any)

OK, I ate ANOTHER packet of Quavers AND drank wine last night. AND stayed up until midnight, oops. Didn't walk, didn't use body lotion etc

But it's a new week, so I'm putting all that behind me and so should you, new thread here
