Next part of the LL journey.........

all my goals are needing to change - I always do this again and again but this time am not trying to wipe the slate clean but just carry on

Have lost just over 3 stone

So next goal is to get down to 70kg by november

Currently 90kg so it is a very very tall order - but on 12th november am going away so would love to be lighter!

So have 20kg = 44lbs in 65 days hard to do but am going to drink loads and start going to the gym! Not the most easy target but going to just go for it as flights are booked

It should also take me down to a bmi of 26 which would be awesome

Well not blogged for a long time as I have been really stressed out with the exam and work. It just never seems to end. Did start off doing ok with the odd lapse but sticking with the dust. However have managed to find this weird combination of having x and y and z at the moment. Have to admit guys it has not made me feel any better than being on the dust and bars.

Right now - along with alot of h...

Well so far to day have avoided doing any revision but am slowly running out of things so am going to have to hit the books soon

Have re set the goals. Was finding that was lapsing and seemed to like having more than one bar a day. So needed some adult thinking chats with LLC group and friends on here and back on the plan. The plan is what the plan is and going to try 100% to stick with it and g...

Well the mind is a very annoying tool x

When I had my lapse my period also stopped.

So now back on my one bar a day - period is back!

So off I go to get bars - no excitement no rush no high - even manage to drive home with bars int...
