I have done well on walking and even gone over some days......although I confess that on Friday I left without my pedometer and maybe skimped on steps so added some deliberately over yesterday and today........
Now can you believe that since 1st August (and a little patch before my holiday) I have been 'at it' - stepping is good for my health generally and I believe it helps keep bad heads away etc - it also helps me to remain positive and gives a real feel good feeling as I walk around and spot new things each time I am out.
However I have been thinking about the best way to tackle my eating plan and David inspired me this week...he had been to a rigorous boot camp run on military discipline rules and he has been taught all about the importance of abandoning carbs generally and increasing protein and nut snacks with coloured veg/salad to make meals........
the point being that our bodies really need protein and the right fats but does not need as many carbs as we generally imagine they do. So if I am really going to get serious about better eating and losing real weight I will seriously consider copying a bit of what I did ages ago - a bit like the Atkins eating plan.
However I have a great week lined up and I am so looking forward to my girlie few days with Alex so I will not promise this week that I will decrease dramatically on intake - bit I will eat less than I have been doing or at least substitute some sweet things with nuts!
So into my 13th week now of exercise and that is a changed lifestyle - all of August and September and almost through October - this is for the long term......bye for now x
