The boring thread of: I need to get healthier

[Floris]

I bought a weighted hula hoop (I know dont laugh!) - I need to set it up and use it
I need to start moving as I'm losing weight now finally

not laughing! don't worry, i was looking at one as well. let me know if you're happy with yours and the size is right, maybe ill get it as well. you can iMsg me if you prefer.

i FINALLY am at that point I can start working on the daily walk schedule. pfff. took way too long. I'm excited to go go go.

I'm struggling to get a balance mentally lately, it's like I can only focus on one thing at a time, and thats not cleaning or exercise, so the flat is a complete mess and I'm not exercising like I would like to be doing. However I am taking care of my seedlings!

Don't worry, you can't do what you can't do. even if it is stuff that needs to get done. Your body is telling you that you need a break, take it! And if you happen to get up and ar in the kitchen, put away some towels, move something to laundry, and call it a day. 30 seconds, 3 minutes, doesn't matter. Eventually you get to progress.

My goal is more to quit the processed food, not everything, cos you know I'm not giving up pringles, but frozen foods mainly.
However I have stopped buying bread, and it's definitely been tough not having toast everyday, but I'm getting there now. I am having cereal for breakfast most days.

SO me and Abbs need to go on a massive lifestyle change. Expecting a massive bollocking from the DR tomorrow after getting all blood test results back... (he will translate what it all means but I've got a good idea)

Fat free low sugar lean meat here we come!

I really craved bread today, but feel so much less bloated without it, I'd recommend looking at breakfasts without toast, as bread can have quite a bit of sugar

No processed food, I've started on working towards this by making better choices. It's so easy to do, and I learned I wasn't doing too bad, but still! There's clearly room for improvement. And I think it's important enough to do better on this front.

Take us on the journey, and teach me. Because I need this as well. 100% ~

I've got a lot of rhubarb to use up, so everything is going to have rhubarb in! Going to have a cooking day tomorrow and make jam, fruit leathers, popsicles, baking, and who knows what else! Probably won't be all that healthy but will be lots of homemade snacks

In the last few months I've made a better effort to use smaller portions of sugar, and sometimes use real honey instead of sugar, and then halved both, instead of 2 sugars, 1, and instead of honey, less honey. And I've started testing which things I like with no added sweeteners.

So far so good.

Recently I spend a bit of money on re-filling my pantry, and I've tried to pick items that are healthier as well. Hopefully that helps over time too.
