I remade those healthy cookies. this time I put a banana and chopped pitted prunes and a nit of salt and cinnamon. they taste ok. I made then thinner and kept the cooking time the same, as I said they taste ok. I think I may just stop trying to make these good. they are healthy cookies, unless they have chocolate in them (70% of course) I don't think they will be much nicer.

if ive eaten too much ginger and lemon tea help to settle my stomach, then a slow walk making sure I kinda wiggle my hips a bit to massage my stomach, it sounds stupid but it works and you may have some gas stuck where you've eaten a meal you don't usually eat. laying down is the worst as you'll get reflux where the food is going backwards, sit up naturally and twist slightly. the movement helps and you get in a bit of a stretch too. Feeling sick through food sucks, especially when its good for you food. hope some of this helps xx

way to go issa! good to see your hard work has paid off!

wahoo!!!! go you!! sometimes it seems my body gets sick because I have changed things like my diet or that I am actually exercising! Beat that cold dude! and go and beat your record! good to see you're still in the game!

Lunges are my least favourite. im really unbalanced so get wobbly at around 10-11. Good to see you are still on track and still going! good luck for week 3

What a fantastic read. So happy for you that you have been doing so well. Have your legs got back to normal now after the body weight circuits. I did the same as you and was pretty cripple for a few days. Family visiting is hard for eating out. We live on the other side of the world to our families so when ever they come here or we go there its as if all they want to do is feed us. And well done on your weight loss too! Well done!

way to go beeza!!! excellent week 2. Do hope you are feeling much better and probably the fudge and the good lesson helped Good weight loss too@ keep it up for week 3!

the start of week 2 went well. I did my running and circuits then from Wednesday on wards it was a battle against all odds. loooooong days at work met with no days off for 2 months and a touch of oh woe is me. big fat F for me for week 2. Today I did my running without the puppy as we had a long walk on the beach and over the sand dunes as I forgot what exit to take and ended up walking nearly double the distance going back on my self. plus she vomited a load of sand, shells, grass and cuttlefish just as we were getting in the car, she eats everything. Even though I missed 2 exercise days I was faster than last Monday. I do the same distance and judge it on where I am when the app finishes. I did 3 circuits much faster and much easier too, so I'm well chuffed. So I didn't quit at the first hurdle of life giving me the sh**s. I also did 10 mins of yoga stretches to finish off my work out. A for the day!

thanks guys! so good to have some support through this! last night I made some 'cookies' with coconut flour. the recipe said to use protein powder but I don't have any so I ground chia to make meal. it kinda worked, it uses flax ground too. its full of energy, like a home made energy bar but without the nuts. I must but a rolling pin. cant believe I still don't have one. I made them a bit too thick so they came out more like round energy bars than cookies. the taste is less than desired but I have an idea to add some fruits in there to give them a bit of a kick. I also separated eggs successfully too. domestic goddess? maybe So for breakfast it is one cookie and a large long black. Ive made my lunch of chicken thighs and we're going out for a friends birthday for dinner. ill take another 'cookie' to work for later. no exercise today but ill be running around at work so that night count. that's the plan for the day. later rebels

Week 2 day 1 Had a crazy rush around this morning getting ready to open up for work so had a coffee breakfast which made me so very hungry at about 1pm and where I was in a tizz I forgot my lunch so raided the kitchen at work for sausage rolls and pie *cough* and a cheese and ham and tomato toastie. That's all ive had to eat today. I know its bad and I should have been more organised so minus points for that. When I got home I was fried but I still took puppy out for a run. I start my app at the same point every time and today I finished closer to home. I could run faster with out being so out of breath and no pain in my leg! yahoo its paying off! go me. Then I did the body weight circuit and smashed that too. Maybe its cheating but ive been doing my lunges static as I really hurt myself from not being able to balance. I can now feel it when I go down, so im taking it slow with those. BUT I did the whole thing AND THEN a yoga routine to stretch out. I feel so much better today. after those lunges I have a twinge in my leg but if I keep doing what im doing it will get better because it has already in just a week. So apart from my diet today I feel good about starting this week.

Hope your legs are better!! good luck for w2!

try swapping your carbs. Why type are you eating? potatoes, bread, pasta? my naturopath told me that if I wanted say spaghetti, I could peel vegetables like carrots and zucchini and blanch them. its pretty fun making it too.

Thanks deftona. C25k is good for me as I'm starting all over again. It's a steady progression.weeks 1 and 2 are the same but it does make sense. My puppy gets a bit confused when I slow down, but sometimes when I speed up she thinks I'm gonna sprint and I've nearly fallen over a few times as she pulls me along. It's pretty funny when she does it as we walk past people, they try to catch me haha. I'm ready and looking forward to week 2 too lol

Ok I know I said no exercise BUT, I was looking over the yoga videos I had on my play list and did a morning flexibility one. it was just over 7 minutes but my body feel awake and ready for the day. egg and mushroom scramble for brekkie, I have sweet potato, parsnip and sprouts roasting in the oven ready to take with me for lunch and ive had 2 coffees. I know they are not paleo as I have milk in them but that's my 20% bad for the day. I was planning on cooking chicken for lunch too but its still frozen. (I freeze it as I buy in bulk so save a few $, its still fresh)

Well you did it but at least you now can feel the difference between you before the takeaway and after! Its so amazing how food can affect us.
