I'm breaking my fast at 12:30 ... scrambled eggs & smoked salmon 😋
I'm sat here, homeschooling again 😩, and fed up because my 9 year old (year4) will just stop the moment I move away from him, that or he'll leg it out of the room. I tried doing yoga behind him while he did maths, last week...well, less than 10 minutes in & he's sat watching me with Bumblebee (Transformer) in hand. I still can't figure out where the blazes he pulled his toy from! Houdini's got nothing on him. I've just looked across & he's trying to read James & the Giant Peach sideways 🙈 Give me patience 🙏 FYI, I've two high schoolers. Oldest is on the ball (yr10) & the other (yr8) is another messer who'd rather play online games with his buddies... so, I've to constantly watch that he's actually getting work done on my laptop.
I'm leaving the house earlier today to go for my walk. Have to collect new maths workbook for my youngest, so he's excited to see his school. Even if it's only for a min or two. Have a great day peeps & stay safe 😷📚

Went completely off the rails over Christmas & New Year!!!
I'm not upset or angry with myself but I'm really going to HAVE to get the finger out now!!!
☆ This is long winded but is mostly for my own accountability but if it helps anyone else get motivated in the process, then that's all the better. 😊

I've a size 12 Matron of honour dress to "fit" into by 04th October 2021 (final weigh in day!), NOT "squeeze" into!! Wedding Day is 23rd October 2021 🎯
Right now I'm pushing towards a size 18. I'm 5 foot 2 inches (157.5cms), giving me get that unsexy look of weight being compressed sideways, hence the size 16 pushing into size 18. Full length mirrors are my worst friends right now.

I did restart my weight loss on January 04th this year (umpteenth time dieting) & weighed in at a whopping "206.4" lbs 🙈
(... for me? That's the heaviest I've EVER been in my life, I'm 50 this year!)
I've been on antidepressants since April 2020. This lockdown & homeschooling is pushing me to my limit. Stress is not a dieters best friend. It upends the bodies hormones, mostly cortisol. An emotional eater like me?! Snap! I literally EAT my stress. Throw in perimenopausal hormone upheaval & I have quite the brew of unfavourable disadvantages before me.
BUT
1. I refuse to allow myself to turn 50 feeling fat, unhealthy & emotionally more deflated than I already am!
2. I want to make myself proud, my children & my husband proud too!
3. I will NOT order a larger size dress for my sisters wedding.

Treadmill was ordered & arrives, hopefully 🙏, around the 11th/12th next week. Zero excuses for NOT getting that walk/jog/run in... Plus, I've got my vibroplate with the arm workout cords. A must for my bingo wings... Kids nearly wet their pants' when they watched my bottom in full wobble! I'm using my Samsung health app, which is synchronised with this app (FatSecret) & my galaxy active watch too (to keep an eye on heart rate, sleep & steps).

I'm eating keto, if interested, as I personally find this easier to follow & it suits my taste buds. I was following a keto based diet before Christmas 2020 & weighed about 189 lbs & was doing 2 x 24hr fasts (5:2). This I will be doing along side my keto plan.

~ I've followed 5:2 for weight loss & maintenance in the past, so it's "not" something new to my body & I feel good after the 2 days of full fasting...
My very first time doing 5:2 (5/6 yrs ago), I did Tuesday's & Thursday's, reducing my calories to 400-500 on those days & calorie counting the other 5 days. Over time, I've changed about days, calorie adjustments etc,. Personally, I found it easier to do 2 straight days drinking only water & black coffee. I take my hat off to those people who can do all that continuous calorie counting.

I broke my ketosis yesterday with 3 pieces of KFC chicken & chips. Aunt Flo was about & I succumbed to the smell 🤪
Back to it today... dreading the banging headaches again... yes, I take in electrolytes with loads of water (approx. 2+ ltrs). The hunger pangs will be worst, day 3/4 for me but after that hump, I find it mostly a doddle to follow keto.

Now for my Keto TexMex with salad for dinner. I found this recipe on DietDoctor. Everyone in my household loves it. Although, they use a wrap with the meal & salad.
Tomorrow, Sunday, is a full fast day for me... bring on Monday breakfast 😋 Scrambled eggs & smoked salmon 😁
Enjoy the rest of your weekend peeps xxx
