Day 8

Cant say I was looking forward to the exercises today with all the extra bits added on. I quite liked only having skipping to do yesterday. I'm lazy, I admit it. Anyway, I was surprised it only took half an hour. My shoulders now ache to buggery and I only finished an hour ago. Cant even think what they will be like later. Hope my little boy doesnt need to be picked up - I KNEW we shouldnt have given his stroller away last week.

Diet was a nice surprise. I dont normally have that much to eat at breakfast. Dinner is looking a bit titchy in my head now that I have more idea of how much things weigh :(         Not the biggest fan of eating fruit but more because I'd normally pick a biscuit to snack on which is far tastier in my eyes. I'm starting to stress about the smell that will no doubt be wafting out from under the duvet from us both in a few days time after all the fruit & veggies. Might make the kids think twice about asking to come in with us...result!!!

Day 7

Skipping with a headache makes it feel like your brain is bouncing around...

Day 6

PETE I CANT BELIEVE YOU WROTE THAT!!!!  Yet another excuse not to dish any out tonight then.....

Day 5

Started the day with the exercises, definitely aching less, then took kids to see Cinderella - in Grappas!!!!!!!! Free pizza included in the ticket price...nightmare!!!! Definitely didnt eat as much as I normally would for sure, but not quite as good as I  could have been. Pete was better than me which is a bit annoying as I have always had better eating habits than him. Against each other we are quite competitive which will be good for PCP - to give an example, we once slept in separate bedrooms over who was cooler than who....me obviously!!!! If we keep up the small amounts of food in the next week then I'm buying myself a Princess/Barbie plate to eat from instead of Bob the Builder/Diego. It will be my treat...sigh...how sad....

Day 4

Up and out early this morning so both fighting to get our exercises done first thing. I am realistic about my discipline and know it just wont happen if I leave it until the evening. Such a rush I forgot breakfast - managed to grab a banana and ate ALL of it. Not feeling so hungry today but its only 2pm. I tend to find 4-5pm is my hardest time. Yesterday I was hungry pretty much all day. On the up side my trousers definitely felt loser today - the downside is the achy muscles. 4 sets of push ups.....agony. I'm afraid of what is to come....

Day 3

Ouch, I'm so sore - I was really dreading the push ups today as my chest hurts even when I'm not doing anything! Washing my hair could be a problem, I'm not sure I can lift my arms that high. So, exercises done for the day. Had a bit of a problem with the skipping rope getting tangled with my headphone cable - thankfully I was at home so nobody saw me making a total fool of myself. Last nights meal definitely looked bigger to me on the kids plates but still went to bed hungry. Fruit teas are my new friend. About to weigh out my 15g of porridge, it hardly seems worth the effort of making it. Still struggling at the kids dinner time as cooking them a meal when hungry is torture - usually I help myself to some. A big thanks to Pete for my new nano - it made me a bit more motivated and I'm certainly more awake. Good luck for tomorrow everyone...isnt that day we are supposed to feel really hungry?? Worse than we do already??!!! Help.....

Day 2

Another night of weird dreams. This one was all about me obsessing with half measures of food...yesterdays was all about skipping! I hope I get back to a normal nights sleep once my body is not fearful of whats coming next. So, have completed todays exercises. Chest sore from yesterdays push ups but I still managed max reps of everything and even 2 sets of skipping without tripping over the rope!! According to my 5 year old I am better at skipping than Daddy ( Peter C) - he is rubbish ( sons words not mine) 

Last night I prepared 1 meal and we split it. To convince ourselves it was a larger meal we ate it off the kids Bob the Builder plates. The hardest bit of the food part was not finishing off the kids leftovers as usual. And they had Spaghetti Carbonara :(
