OK well so far my plan is working. So if you remember I am combining 2 plans - shock, horror - on the left Joe Wicks 'Lean in 15' who is all about HIIT, carbs after exercise, less carbs when not exercising, and general healthy eating YUM. And on my right is Josie Spinardi 'How to Have your Cake and Skinny Jeans Too'. So Josie is all about (simplified) eating what you want, when you want, as long as you are actually hungry and you stop eating when you are full. Sounds a bit lame, But I honestly feel this has made the difference. I was terrified I would eat lemon meringue pie (my neighbour Mr B makes me awesome pie) with lashings of cream - but I haven't. The essential element that I can eat ANYTHING has taken away the bingeing, the eating in a cupboard, the eating standing up whilst balancing on one foot so the calories don't count. It has stopped. I've eaten less 'naughty' (that's a shame, that Frys Chocolate Cream never killed anyone (um well...maybe it did) but I don't know what else to call them but you know what I mean?) food in the past 2 weeks than I can remember. I don't feel I've sabotaged my whole weeks 'dieting' if I eat a biscuit. Anyway the two plans can both go hand in hand, to be known as, ongoing, The Jo-Jo plan (you get it? Like Yo-yo diet??)

Last week I started a spinning class. It was vile, horrible, horrendous, why are the seats so fucking uncomfortable torture, I'm never coming back its so bad! And I've been twice this week. I still think its an absolute awful class but I love it when its over. I welcome the pain in my legs as it distracts from the pain in my arse! And who the hell decided it was a good idea to squat whilst pedalling?!!! Anyhow I'm sure I'll continue. And just moan about it whenever I can.

This week I have learnt that things are happenng all around that you just can't see.

I did not fail, I succeeded in finding out what did not work.
