JanusWoman's Journal, 20 Jan 22

Sweet heart it happens but alcohol does mess everything back to basics am no expert but healthy eating protein salad and fruits as snack 

Welcome to the 50s, Janus!! 

Don't tell me it gets harder next year ..., 

I find it to be a 5-year cycle starting from 35 years old. Every 5 years you have got to completely overhaul everything, change diet, eat less, re-think exercise. It does get harder, I can't deny it!! But the rewards are greater health wise. 

Nadiaa, I didn't think you were anywhere near the danger zone age-wise! 

😊 I don't look it look 20 years younger lol my profile pic taken in October 😊 

I just turned 40 plus ..... lol 

Thanks Nadia, yes usually cutting out alcohol completely is a sure fire way for me to kick start a loss but not this time it seems. I will keep at it maybe a few tweaks. 

Haha Anne well that escalated quickly! To be honest I don’t mind this weight, it’s a comfy size 12 for me, but I have form for bouncing back up and then adding a bit more for luck. This time I feel like I’m locked in a battle with my body, refusing to do it!  

Wow Nadia you do NOT look it!  

Am glad to share the little knowledge I have 😊 

Thank youuuu😊😊 

I think as we get older everything takes that bit longer.......moving, recovery from illness or injury, reflexes, metabolism etc And, of course, weight loss. If I had done the regime I am on now when I was 30 the weight would have ripped off. Now, it just plods off at its own slow pace!! The only thing that speeds up is weight gain. GGGrrrrr 

Nadiaa, you look so much younger and have a young and vibrant energy that I enjoy very much! Any knowledge about how you manage that will be gladly received!! 

How annoying - bodies are bizarre sometimes, but you and Anne have shown time and again that with consistency all things are possible x. @Nadia I can't believe you're 40! I thought you were in your early 30s...what's your anti aging secret please?😊 

Awwwu knocked of more then 10years Suma I just turned 49. I know am probably the first woman to admit it .... I don't smoke and never use chemicals on my skin anti ageing creams rubbish I use night cream boots and most nights I for get to use it never use soap facial wipes for my face expensive foundation I think the secret is I lately feel 16 my body seems to think so ☺️☺️ 

Wait for next week JanusWoman! Are you drinking lots of water? How is the tape measure looking? Maybe eat earlier in the evening? Or see what happens next week. 

Anne I have a fiery spirit ...😊😊 

Thanks Suma, yes it is strange but I fell compelled to be honest here as people read my journal…so I will keep on and see! 

Thanks trytry, yes drinking lots of water, eating as early as I can given the family constraints. It is both a bit disheartening but also scientifically interesting! Haven’t measured but clothes are good and muscle tone great. X
