I have had my appointment at the gym. It was good. I have about 10 different things to do (like a circuit), twice. Becky and I also made a weekly plan:

Mondays – Walk in the morning, Balance at 6.30pm
Tuesdays – Gym
Wednesdays – Walk and Aqua
Thursdays – AquaZumba
Fridays – Gym
Saturdays – Balance and Zumba
Sundays – Day of Rest or recovery walk

Apparently if you do the same thing for too long (like how I have settled into a rhythm of Aqua, walk, aqua, etc) your body gets used to it and you stop losing weight (like I have). So we are mixing it up a bit with lots of different things, and then in another couple of months I will change it again.

Mum also sent me some stuff on insulin resistance. Interesting reading, I am going to try for no “white” stuff, like bread, potatoes, pasta etc – will change potato for kumara and pumpkin, maybe a little wholemeal pasta, brown rice, and Molemburg bread which is the low calorie stuff we have anyway. I’ll try it for a couple of weeks and see how it goes.

Food Diary for Today:
Breakfast – 2 slices low calorie toast with hummus
Snack – 1 Pear
Lunch – leftover dinner (a bit of pasta and some diced lamb with sun dried tomato pesto)
Snack – Apple
Dinner – 1 x chicken drum/thigh, a couple of bits of dry roasted potato, carrots and peas.
