That being I saw the Nairns oatcakes on the shelf took stock of the ingredients and thought yip they seem very healthy – all through this challenge I have been so diligent in keeping to my food list it didn’t even occur to me I may be deviating! I guess in the back of my mind I knew that MT Bread was ok and they have a oat variety.
Oh well lesson learnt, hopefully it doesn’t effect me too much – I have had a sore gut the last couple of days though….hmmmm.
Anyways it was back on the scales for me this week after my self imposed sabbatical – a 1.8kg loss over the 3 weeks so am pleased to see the move downwards again. I was off sick for two days last week with a tummy bug, went and saw Richard Wheelan straight away and pretty sure his herbal remedies helped for a speedier recovery. It was a mad busy week all up, with being off work (and I never get sick! : ), having my kitchen redone, having a flatmate move in and helping organise an upcoming kayaking racing series. Needless to say my training programme went out the window – although that said on refection I still managed 4 hours – just not quite the 10 that was planned for!
Have been on my adrenal fatigue ‘meds’ for about a week now – and think I am feeling better for it, Cush did say it would be 7 – 10 days, but my energy in the afternoons is better , so looking forward to catching up with her again this week.
Unfortunately didnt make last nights call, yes I had a hairdressers appt, but thought I’d be back in time, doh. Hope it went well.
Well that’s all my news for now – hope alls well with everyone out there and if for some reason you aren’t where you thought you would be by this part of the challenge:
- just reflect on all the good work you’ve done to date
- don’t beat yourself up and realise its for life not just for 112 days. I keep reminding myself its going to take some time to undo all I’ve done to my poor wee body over the years!! Lol
Ciao for now – Ruth
Hi Ruth. Good job with the loss. You sure keep yourself busy!
I like your reflection bit. You are so right, this is for life (our lives).
Have a good week

Hi Ruth, great that the weight has come off again, and will continue on!! Sounds like you’ve been busy, but good to hear you’re feeling better and with more energy. Good stuff about being kind to ourselves, it’s the long-term story that matters. Have a great week! Desi

You are SO right, a life time (in my case anyway) of bad habits and choices will take a while to repair, and as you said we are well on the way to recovery!
Glad that cush’s remedy is helping and Richard was able to help too. Awesome isn’t it! Can’t wait to spend more time with you on the Island!
