I haven’t weighed myself since the start of the month and then I still weighed the same as when I first registered here. I’ve been trying since the start of this month to eat more regularly and eat better food and do some exercise.

My new job is very physically demanding for me. Other people who are fit and healthy would look at it and go “pah!” but for  me, it is the most physically demanding job I’ve had in about 3 years. It keeps me moving a lot during my shifts. I’ve been managing to eat somewhat better, more regular meals and I have been walking a bit. I haven’t been over exerting myself to any extent though.

This week I have been ill, I have had a stomach bug and felt very ill. I haven’t felt like eating and when I have eaten, I have had awful stomach ache and indigestion and been sick. It’s getting better today though and I managed yesterday to eat some omlette and soup.

I weighed myself this morning and I have lost 7lbs this month!!!!!!!!! I know that some of that will be due to being ill and I shouldn’t be happy about that bit cos it may go back on once I am well again but I am very very happy to have lost weight!

It has really motivated me to carry on eating better and doing some exercise. I am thinking of joining a martial arts class but it depends what night it is on because I don’t know what evening shifts I will be on at work.

I’m going out now for a short walk and to the pharamacy to get something for my stomach. It’s very cold at the moment so I have to wrap up warm!
