Re-alignment.....This is now Day 1, 89 to go

Hi there,

I have decided to re-align my days for the magic 100 and the 90 day challenge and meld them together in the same melting pot, so to speak.

I have spent a bit of time personalising the blog and adding pictures to mark the start of my journey.....risky but powerful, I feel. What better incentive can I have? I can't wait to post new pics in 90 days.

Eating has been great today, usual gluten free cereal for breakfast, herbal teas and the rest of yesterday's home made turkey and rice Pilaf for lunch. Nuts and seeds in between.....I worry sometimes that I eat too many of them. About 6-10 at a time.....twice a day. Fingers crossed. They keep you really full though and seem to banish churning.

Still not well....so going back to bed with a lemsip now, but will be back later.

I wanted to add a few words though about how I ended up here, and will muse on this as I sleep.....but to summarise:

• Weight problems since a child


• Recent weight gain....weight went to 17 stones by 2006


• Reduction to 12st5 by 2007


• Plateau for a year


• Weight has now risen to 13st5 in 2008


• Tired of points counting, red days etc....these have become ineffective and demotivating


• Decided to try a famous branded sachet diet that promised 3 stone loss in 100 days


• Talked out of this by Paul Mort of Precision Fitness!!


• Felt disappointed.....wanted a quick fix


• Paul put me onto Dax Moy's site and .....here I am

So there....that is how it happened. Sleep now xxxx

22:00

Well, I recovered a bit and managed bellydance tonight. Such fun! Makes you feel extremely womanly and it great for the lower back, thighs and tummy. A great food day all in all.....finished the day with a teeny baked potato made with a curry I flung together from home grown chick pea sprouts made in my sprouter, cherry tomatoes, curry spices, goat's yoghurt and mint.......it was really lovely and pure too.

So, no caffiiene, loads of herbal tea, nothing processed, no lactose or sugar, took my spirulina, coenzyme and fish oil.....got 2 weeks worth of ironing done, all on a day when I felt really ropey with a bug.

Tomorrow.....need to consider goals in the morning....have been a bit lax, possibly because they are being mentally edited in line with new 90 day challenge. Also need to make time in the evening to practise new movement regimen sent by Dax

Til then xxxx Jo
