I’m trying hard to get right back on track starting with a week of eating lots of fresh veg and fruit as well as drinking plenty of water. Whenever I can I’m eating and drinking organic to assist flushing toxins from my body. I am sure there were less pesticides used in the 1940’s and of course most food and meals were cooked using home or locally grown meat and veg..

I’ve just popped by the store and bought some organic butter, sugar and cheese and at home I already have organic milk and a mixture of organic fruit and veg…

I am convinced that to become healthier as a nation we need to try and “get back to basics”…

Please let me have shifted weight when I weigh in on Saturday morning….I also want to see an improvement in my blood pressure.

PS I am going to start recording my weigh ins with a video camera just so you can see or hear a reaction and laugh at my Hobbit feet !

So much has gone on especially in the last few weeks here at the Hobbit House….I can’t divulge fully due to privacy issues but it would be fair to say that we received terrible, terrible news that has turned our lives upside down. But we are the lucky ones…

One of my ways of coping with sadness is to over eat… some people shout and scream, some drink, others go quiet, I eat.

Previous to the news we received I was meandering, just the occasional 1940’s meal… for the last few weeks I have made sure that my days are filled with food… it kind of stops you crying and takes your mind off things temporarily.

I jumped on the weighing scales Friday night- the first time in several weeks and if memory serves me well my weight back then was around 285 lbs. I was horrified to see the needle move back up to 310 lbs. 

Yesterday I popped into the pharmacy and had my blood pressure done. 176/88 …. NOT good news.

This was probably a combination of a recent bad diet and stress.

Needless to say I have jumped right back in and am trying my damned hardest to get back on track starting with a week of trying to cleanse my body of some of the toxins I have accumulated…..

Yesterday’s main meal was a huge salad sprinkled generously with Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (an old fashioned cure for all)

I’ll keep you updated
