I've hit my heaviest, I'm feeling my lowest and don't recognise myself.

Likely to be a combo of intermittent fasting and reduced calories.. Will play about to see what works but the main thing is my weight goes down and my life changes.

I would like to run about with the dc without being jiggly jelly or out of breath, I would like to not think about if things can take my weight or if my butt will fit on the slide... it would change a lot of small details about my daily life if I wasn't so self conscious..and add up to a big picture that I'm happier with.

Hope that makes sense, feel free to join me!

Good evening!

I am not very well

I am brewing a chest infection - I have brittle asthma so it's not an idyllic situation

I have an appointment tomorrow with the practice nurse for a BP/ asthma check so I will get some steroids and antibiotics.

Diet is still going well but I am dialling down the fasting as my sleep pattern is wonky.
I will be back on it when I am better

Nope - on steroids, nebs and antibiotics.
Still at home though - just.

Managed to batch cook some mushroom soup to put in freezer for when / if I am admitted/ too poorly to cook for me and him.

He cannot cook - he can clean, wash clothes etc but if left to cook it is ' something on toast'
Hence why I have lots of homemade 'ready meals' that are low carb etc .

Aw there's so much going round atm, I've been rough too and have slept every spare second. Plus side I've not eaten much so silver linings and all that I might have lost a lb or 2!

Down side my entire house needs a deep clean and there's about 14 loads of washing to do ..
