Not enough sleep. Got to bed at 1, Ruby up at 5.45 am. My head hurts and I feel a bit bloated as we went out for dinnner last night and whilst I stayed on plan, I probably ate a bit too much and I also had 3 large glasses of white wine. Back to clean living today.

On a positive note, I have decided to run London marathon next year. I ran NY marathon a few years ago and it was the best thing I ever did. Since then, I have had 2 little girls and I told myself that I would pick up the running again when Ruby was 6 months, which she is now. So slowly starting the running now with...

I have been lurking around for the past week and enjoying all aspects of this web site. I'm glad I joined...

I just joined and started the induction phase 4 days ago. Oh my goodness have I been craving carbs. In fact I learned to be more prepared when I leave the house because I have given in to a few cravings. I would have never thought I would crave this intense. It was hard to not give in more than I already did.

I needed to start this journey as I was starting to feel sick to my stomach everytime I ate. I was also intensely irritable. Just being on the induction phase has cleared up the sick feeling in my tummy...although the few times I let myself give in to the craving it...
