    Looking back this week alone has made me realise how bad my food intake is, even though it is an improvement to what it was previously :eek:

    Happy that I am keeping up my water intake. It might not seem like a big deal to others but it is something I always struggled with, especially working in an office. Also happy that I ate regularly, even if the meals were not so good. Big shop in Aldi tomorrow and some batch cooking healthier meals for the coming week. I was very disillusioned thinking that I could change ALL my poor habits together. I have to build up my willpower. I will keep up the water intake and try cut out 2 cups of tea/coffee, to start reducing my caffeine intake. Going to also take the leap and move from the brisk walk to a very slow jog. Determined to become healthier :cool:
