For the first time in my life I’ve been eating healthily, not gone on a silly fad diet or cut out certain types of food, not even counted calories but just eating nice healthy food, salads, protein, some carbs and lots of fruit and veg. I’ve stopped having sugar and milk in my coffee and not eaten any chocolate or junk food for two weeks.
I’ve lost 10 pound! I bought a treadmill and have gone on it for 45 minutes every other day (it’s the only exercise I can tolerate!) and today when my kids were at school and pre school I sat down and gave my self a pedicure. I feel so much better.
I know it’s only been a couple of weeks but even if I hadn't lost any weight I would still want to eat and exercise like this because I feel much better and my energy levels are more stable. I usually get quite hyper in the mornings then crash out in the afternoon before the school run but this hasn’t happened since I started.
Just thought I would post this in case anyone else is thinking of spending a bit of time on themselves but can’t find the motivation.I have 8 children and I really feel like they are reaping the benefits too. I’m less tired/snappy and I feel like now I’ve taken this step everything else is falling into place.
