One for all and all for one :)

I contacted my coach to ask for help with shifting the last stone. He told me I don't have that much to lose and he swore a bit about BMI šŸ˜‚ then he suggested I drop 50 calories a day and add 1k steps and see if that makes a difference.

Weigh in and I lost another pound.

For the last 2 days I've felt much better, more in control and back on plan. I've done a Wheel of Life task and identified 3 things I need to focus on when I get overwhelm or mood slump - move more, reduce screen time and increase sleep time (even if I don't get 7 hours sleep, allow 8 hours in bed to get as much as possible, so earlier to bed).

I think that is a great plan.Glad you are back on it and in control again.It will really help with more sleep time you can move more ;-)

I know my stress levels are high at the moment and I need to reduce the stress but apart from shooting my OH :) it all has knock on effect I am sleeping badly.

I badly need a break from caring 24/7 and not had one this year.But 5 weeks time I am having a long weekend away.I am so looking forward to it.
