Weight loss update - Week 2

I am a few days late for this post but will still just go from Tuesday-Tuesday.

 So last week I did great - my main aim throughout all of this is to continue eating meals with family and not having to miss out when my family do nice things which includes foods. That I managed... some of the evening meals may not have been the healthiest as far as diets are concerned but smaller portioned and lots of salads / vegetables etc meant that I could enjoy these non the less. 


So my goals from last week were....



- to stick to it 100%:
This I did and I felt so much better for it. Funnily enough I have notice many differences all ready. For example:
               I think I have a little intolerance to potatoes, bread, pasta etc. I haven't had very much of this, maybe one or two nights... but when I have I certainly notice the difference. I bloat, feel all sluggish and just a little meh and my energy goes out the window. Although that's my favourite food group =( its nice to know that it does make a difference and I'm now aware of that. I'm not going to illiminate them but I will certainly reduce my intake. Before now every meal included one of those foods... that is not the case any longer.
              I have much more energy!! Yay. I severely lacked this before. Most evenings I would end up on the floor asleep by 8pm ish. I don't know if this is my new eating or whether it's because I have been taking multi vitamins with iron in ( I was a little anaemic before)
              I am NOT craving sweet stuff... This is absolutely amazing for me. I have no problems sticking to my planned healthy snacks and meals. I am normally ALWAYS wanting sweet things and usually gave in, not good I know. 
              I am not hungry. The smoothies and snacks are more than enough during the day and they are delicious. That along with my family meals in the evening makes a perfect way of living for me. 


- Enjoy our Sunday outing... EXCITED 
We had a lovely day! The weather was beautiful which makes a massive change to recent months and the kids loved the chance to play without there coats and wellies. A fairly healthy picnic (I had a few Pringles which is the fairly bit =D) and a gorgeous walk. PERFECT! 





















- go for a run at least 3 times this week 
This one I failed miserably at. I didn't even make one run, how terrible is that? Exercise is definitely a goal for this week... suppose we cant be perfect.
