Why have I not updated since Monday?!? Possibly because I started the 30 day challenge on the EA Active on Tuesday and collapsed on the sofa afterwards…Oh but I have good news! I’ve lost 4 pounds!!!
Granted my start weight last week was 11st 6lbs (the heaviest i’ve EVER been when not pregnant) so i’m now 11st 2lbs. Another 14/21 pounds and I think my body will be bikini ready!
The rest of this post is going to be mind numbingly boring – not just for any poor soul who might start reading it, but for me to actually type it. I’m determined to keep my food diary updated though so here goes, 6 days worth of SW EE plan eating…

Phew glad that’s done! I’m noticing i’m having toast for breakfast far too often. I need to buy another box of porridge and then I can start having that instead.
Fantastic that’s really really well done!
