Week 5 was exciting. Week 5 was the first week that I could start the exercise program.
This week :
on Monday – I went to swimming squad and stair running
on Wednesday, Thursday and Super Saturday – I did the outdoor circuit
and on Friday the kids and I did a Yoda DVD.
I ate well and followed the plan. Instead of having a treat meal we took the kids out for ice cream after dinner last night.
It has been a good week. On weigh in Wednesday I was the same – no gain no loss.
A big milestone for me this week was not drinking coke. On Saturday and Sunday I just didn’t have one. I normally have a coke a day. It is time for me to get it into my head that this drink is a sometimes food – not an everyday food.

Week 6 is off to a good start with an early morning run. Hopefully the scales will be kind to me on Wednesday.



I had never thought of basing exercise on a Star Wars DVD. Well there you go.
Well done on going coke-less! I had forgotten about your addiction, just assuming probably that the skinny you had given it up in the previous round. Are you having withdrawal symptoms yet?
