...struggle over

...got me a cup of coffee and i'm ready to tell you some stuff before i embark on my day of tidying, doing, and sorting!

last week was a struggle diet wise and i don't know why really. i was still focused i think but there were extra's and a little lack of time to make juice and soups. so here we are with a new week and i feel very motivated for a few reasons. friday night saw me out in durham with tony which led to being very unwell (!!) saturday. saturday was jonathan's birthday day with us and we had a tea party with all the stuff you'd expect - cakes, pie, sandwiches - and i'm just not used to that kind of food and it make me feel crappy. and then last night we had pizza's and then i couldn't sleep 'cos i was full as a gun! so today i am motivated! failure is not an option.

i've got 4 days to put right the 1 pound increase from last week and then some more!
