I was finally brave enough to step back on the scales today. Although not 100% well yet, the bronchitis has virtually gone and I'm taking steps to get myself back on track.
I knew it would not be good. I was eating whatever I wanted and eating anything that would either stop me coughing or give me an energy boost to get through the day. Basically this was pretty much a diet of ice cream and carbs! Hence the scales showing an increase of 5.5 pounds today. I hate the fact that my body can put weight on that easily and that quickly but I have to work so hard to lose each pound.
So now I'm facing up to the fact that I have to get back to the grind. I'm not really wheezing anymore and I'm upping my vitamin intake this week for a boost. Then all being well, I will start some gentle workouts from Monday. I'm still being a bit flexible with my eating pattern partly because we are away overnight at the weekend which will necessitate living off motorway service station meals. I thought I might as well get that out of the way first and then start afresh from Monday.
So it's onwards and upwards guys. Remember if you lapse or relapse in your healthier lifestyle plan, that doesn't have to be permanent. Do what I have done, look for the reasons why it happened and then move on leaving it in the past.
Speak to you soon
Love Erica xxx
