Sunday Weigh In 22

It's now been 22 weeks since starting my new healthy lifestyle.  I decided that each Sunday I will post up my progress, whether successful or not in the hope that it encourages me to stay positive and keep going.  Knowing that I will be sharing it all here will hopefully keep my willpower up!  In order for me to keep track and look back for ideas, I will be listing my food diary here as well (and who knows, it might inspire others to have a go too!)  It also gives me somewhere to put all the photos of the yummy food I love to take as it always looks so good!

This week I wasn't very well on Monday - felt really sick and had a very sore stomach so wasn't at all hungry after breakfast and could only manage to force down some macaroni cheese (it was the only thing I could think of that I wanted to eat) and obviously skipped swimming.  It's also been very wet again this week so there hasn't been as much walking.
