That bloated feeling

Poste by Caroline

It's that time of the month today so I'm feeling really lethargic and a bit blobby.

I always used to use my period as an excuse to eat some chocolate – but not anymore! The friends we met in Cheltenham last week sent me a post-lunch photo and I'm looking a lot slimmer than I feel right now.

Aside from how I feel, I've been too busy to eat much. After my disappointing weigh-in yesterday, I had a simple salad for dinner and watched my dinner guests tuck into chicken and roast potatoes.

I've still not moved in to the new house – I can't wait to get my juicer and all my kitchen equipment back, so that I feel I have more control over sticking to my Mediterranean Plan.

I've got a quiet weekend planned to recover from the week's decorating activities and I intend to go for some long walks.
