A very quick update as it’s 6:50 am and I’ll be heading to work shortly.
Although it was far from a perfect week I did persevere and probably only had two days in the week where I ate junk food which is quite an achievement for me right now. Apart from the junk food (bag of crisps and some biscuits at work) I was able to stick to my allowances within rationing and have eaten plenty of vegetables.
After feeling really low on Saturday I was able to turn things around on Saturday evening and tackle chores which I had procrastinated about which actually lifted my mood and got a great nights sleep with some beautiful mood lighting in my bedroom and some relaxing meditation music.
Sunday I completed the jobs I needed to get done, ate lots of nice food and after some weights exercise in the garden and skipping and my first attempt at planking in months, I finished the day on homemade pancakes (quite a few!).
My weigh-in this morning was a success having lost 5.4 lbs.

This is my first full week following your recipes Carolyn, with a couple out of we’ll eat again with meat in, I’ve loved every meal I’ve had and have also lost 4 pounds. Needless to say I’ll be carrying on with it. šš xxx

That’s fantastic Andrea! Well done! xxx Most of my recipes on here come from peoples diaries, books like “We’ll Eat Again’, and Ministry of Food leaflets, wherever I can get hold of an authentic recipe! xxx

Yeah! You pulled yourself out of a funk, lost a little weight. I think this calls for a hug-and-a-pat-on-the-back (least caloric way I know to celebrate). May next week be a little easier.
