It was looking good last night, when I weighed less than I had done in the morning, so I was hoping for a big drop this morning - let's hope it sticks this time!
I did stick to my meal plan 100% yesterday, even having to make up the calories with a hot cocoa before bedtime. Now that's a great way to end the day - a heaped teaspoon of Green & Black's cocoa mixed into a big mug of skimmed milk gives a fabulously nutritional drink with just a hint of chocolatey naughtiness but at only just over 100 cals!
I also stuck 100% to my exercise plan yesterday. I decided to formulate a plan to help me decide what to do each day, because I was finding it hard to ensure I maintained a balanced and focused week. So, I have now updated my "life planner" spreadsheet with a schedule of workouts for each day. Yesterday was Joanna Hall's Drop a Size for Life DVD, which I did during my little boy's nap. I did both the cardio workouts and both the toning workouts, making a total of a little over an hour of exercise, which felt great!
