Things are going downhill, not only with the diet but with exercise too. I went to the gym on Tuesday but was unable to on Wednesday because I had to wait in for workmen. I also had a head cold and felt a little light headed so did not want to do any exercise in the house either.

Then late last night we got news of another death in the family. My father-in-law this time. I was unable to sleep last night because my brain would not switch off. My father-in-laws voice was in my head all night. This morning I did not even put my Fitbit on because I knew it would be a waste of time.  At lunchtime we decided that we really needed to get out of the house. We ended up going out for a pub lunch. I was not too careful with what I chose and I really did not care.

I had my last appointment with the Health Adviser. Unfortunately it did not end on as much as a high as I hoped it would. I have not lost any weight since my last appointment. We spoke about juicing a lot as I have been interested in getting into juicing since receiving a smoothie maker for Christmas.  She told me that as a Health Adviser she is not allowed to recommend juicing because her job is all about making sure people are not dieting or buying into any fads. It is her job to help us make a lifestyle choice.  She did however say that juicing is something that she does a lot and she personally follows the Jason Vale plan. I was told to just keep my eye on the calories. If I find that I end up putting on weight to just stop. There is two follow up appointments one in three months and one in six months.

Today I had my first appointment with my Health Adviser.  As I said in the post yesterday under the gym section of my blog, I weighed myself in the gym yesterday and according to the scales I had lost weight. I refused to believe it until I had been to the Health Adviser.  Thankfully the scales matched with what the gyms scales said. I have by some miracle lost a further 3 and a half pounds!!!! I really do not know how I managed it. I was told that I was the only person that she had seen so far after Christmas who had managed to lose any weight!!!  The rest of the session was taken with discussing some issues I had over Christmas. My last session will be in 2 weeks time.

Yesterday was my first day back at the gym since before Christmas. I had a voucher which was 2 months for £30, so I have used that to encourage me to carry on.  I did find it really hard to go back after all this time. I had been suffering with a cough/cold since just after Christmas and so I was not really in the mood to go back.  I did my normal routine of an hours gym and an hours Pilates/Light & Easy class. It has been hard work to get back into it. Hopefully next week will be easier!!

Happy New Year!!!

I have been so worried about how much weight that I have put on over the Christmas holidays as I have been unable to do any exercise.  Tomorrow I have my appointment with the Health Adviser. I had not weighed myself over Christmas but today I decided to use the scales and find out just how much damage I have done. According to the scales I have actually lost some weight but to be honest I don't want to say how much because I still can't quite believe it.  I will reveal all tomorrow after I have been to my appointment.
