It's 3 pm and it is only my second (and last!) coffee today! Two grean teas checked who would have thought i can be that happy with such a small change!

Well done, that's great

How has your day been? @Woowoo

Mine was pretty good, I had sensible meals and had tasty foods A good day, just need to drink more water.

 

[DamCore]

I'm Holding it Strong. I drank nothing but water so far! A reason for that is partly because i have a Hangover, and everything Else would force me to throw Up... But yeah, im Holding it!

Mine's been so so. I'm really pleased with the amount of fluid I've drunk. I've had about a litre of water and 4 cups of peppermint tea. However, the weather's been horrible again so I only managed a 15 minute walk and I've not done too well food wise. I had an almond and seed bar for breakfast and a tomato and mushroom omelette with salad for lunch, but it all went a bit wrong at dinner. I'm away with work and the choice wasn't great so I had a burger and chips

You did great on the brekkie and lunch and 15 mins exercise & the fluids don't worry about the burger and chip. Treats are what will make your weight loss maintainable

 

[Woowoo]

That's true and I'll make sure I eat better tomorrow

Awesome. You usually do so don't let one treat upset your weight loss regime

 

[Mishka1204]

I ate really well today. Overnight oats, salad, yoghurt etc and I weight more than yesterday... seems like pizza slims me down more.So annoying!

I can't believe how long I haven't been on this thread for (and being that there is 169 unread messages...)
I've actually been doing the hoop for 10 minutes in the morning the past few mornings. This morning when I took a small apple compote for breakfast I was actually still hungry (I've often skipped. I guess my body is getting used to having breakfast) so ate more.
Proud of you all...

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I did my mile and a half today so that was good. Bought some baked chicken that I can have later. Drinking water and coffee right now.

 

[Sassy Cat]

I worked out. I eat okay and I have been able to get in a lot of water.

So...it is the last remaining day of May.... How did everyone do? How was the month of May for you, anything you have learned you would like to share?

I learned that healthy eating does not have to mean boring dull food but nutrient rich food is and can be made delicious

 

[Woowoo]

I lost 2 lbs this month. I would have liked to have lost more but I'm happy that I lost something.

Through monitoring my fluid intake I've realised that I don't drink enough but I've learnt that water doesn't have to be boring. I've been adding mint, cucumber and lime to it. I've also started drinking weak herbal teas which are a good source of fluids, as well as green tea with all it's health benefits.

I haven't done as well with exercise this month as I'd have liked. The month started really well with some long walks, including a 10 mile walk, but the last couple of weeks I've been so busy at work that I've struggled to get motivated to exercise at the end of a long day, especially when the weather has been bad. I need to work on this next month.

 

[Petal]

You did fantastic this month @Woowoo - you're right, the ginger teas are really good and there are so many to choose from we are spoiled for choice. At least with this month done and dusted we know what to do better for next month, in my case meal prepping and more fluids and more exercise Congrats hun, 2lbs is really awesome, most likely 2lbs you will never see again

I hope so Petal

But you've done amazingly. What was your total loss for the month- about 16 lbs? I'm so proud of you. Are you going to treat yourself to something nice as a reward?

Just keep doing what you've been doing and the exercise will gradually get a bit easier xx

I don't get weighed until Friday's which is why I didn't add what I lost but I will let you know as soon as I do Treated myself to an ice cream today for a treat

Thanks hun, have you thought about how you are going to reward yourself? You did some pretty neat work all this month, we all did and we did especially good at our daily mini goals. You must reward yourself
