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.

thanks Tricia! It’s certainly made me want to try hard this coming week too! xxx
Brilliant news Carolyn!
Am really pleased!!! xxx
and I started again on Sunday – here’s hoping I have a good result as well!
Well done you – that’s a great start 😀
really pleased for you Carolyn, I know first hand how hard it is to do, I am enjoying being on this journey with you– cheers
Thanks Judi…older I get the harder it seems for sure! LOL! But yes pyschologically it’s made me feel a lot better having a small triumph! xxxx
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. 👍😋 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.
Awww thanks 🙂 xxx
Oh well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏sounds like it’s just getting automatic juggling now an it’s working!
🙂 As long as I stick to the food I should and move more, things should be looking down (in a good way!) xxx
Well done, Carolyn. Your perserverence is really inspiring.
