not done so bad today. i know the burger was a bit crap (didnt have any bun or anything, i just had the actual beefburger) but i was thinking after, that its probably full of bulkers and cereal and all that other crap, so i will not bother with them, and it was only a one off anyway. i NEVER eat burgers!

..sue xx

so the weight i regained is already coming off slowly but surely. actually, not so slowly now im back on paleo!

ive come to the realisation that bread REALLY doesnt do me any favours. im not saying bread is bad, but for whatever reason, it messes with me.

i feel so much better eating this way.

yes, i still crave a little bit of naughty stuff here and there, but nothing like i have been doing eating ”normally”.

ive had a small amount of chocolate today, but seriously, on any other day i could eat five times that amount lol.

and ive also gone right off the coke. again, im not saying that will last forever. i am sure i will give in some days and have my can, but saturday and sunday i had none, then this morning my sugar was low, so i thought i would have one, as it wouldnt hurt, but it tasted like syrup! YUK. so that went down the sink after just a few drinks, to bring my sugar up a bit.

so yes, by the end of this week, next at the most, i am hoping to be back to where i was.

ive said before, that im not obsessed with the scales any more, but i have to make sure that weight doesnt start creeping back on. i can deal with a few pounds here and there (which is what im doing right now lol), but i wont allow any more than that.

i worked too damned hard for this new body, and i aint giving it up for anyone or anything!!

hey, i must be doing something right to be the lowest weight ive ever been since about the age of 17! i dont like the idea of sausage (lol trying not to say something rude here), but if its good quality, then its ok on paleo as far as i have read, and thats what im doing.

ive edited my food, because it changed slightly. couldnt face salmon for lunch, still feeling a bit odd, and the very idea of salmon turned my stomach for whatever reason, when i usually love it. anyway, still not a bad day :)
