ok, i'm going to post a daily food and exercise diary on here so that i am forced to deal with being honest every time i open a kitchen cupboard. hopefully it will help me keep the kitchen cupboards closed, or at least make me think whether i really need whatever it is. and i make an effort to do some sort of exercise every day...
right, i'm off to the grocery store to stock up on healthy stuff so that i don't eat crap in desperation.
worryingly, having weighed myself, the first thing i wanted to do was have a peanut butter cookie. but i didn't. first battle.
so, for me, today (and today's easy because it's day 1!):
bfast - bowl of cheerios w/ skimmed milk. (kids had pancakes and maple syrup, so cheerios isn't too bad!) three cups of tea. 
well, buckets of tea, really. may have to cut down on the caffeine...
lunch - tuna and mayo, cucumber, mixed leaves, spring onion bun. two tomatoes. peppermint tea.
dinner (planned) chicken and stir fried veg. will try either no rice or a very small portion. depends how starving i am post-grocery shop. but will attempt to only cook enough carbs for kids and not me! dh not around so easier on that front.
exercise - twenty minutes of 'dear god which bits of me still work' in the living room with the curtains closed. interestingly, jogging on the spot meant that i could no longer feel my legs, which i am sure is not a good sign. i used to run marathons ffs. so easy does it, i think.
i'm dead chuffed that there are other shorties here! and about the same weight too!
i quite the 'mixed bag' approach - i've been leafing through the big/slim board trying to find some inspiration for a week or so, but a lot of the threads are very programme-specific. and i don't think i can do a programme. not organised enough.
right, good lcuk everyone!
