Feels like forever

Moving back to my flat wasn't stressful per se, but it was a disruption to my routine and that throws me off the tracks for a while; I've never been good with dealing with change.

In those past few weeks I ate pizza, had chocolate, ate ice-cream and stopped exercising, but luckily enough I've continued to lose the pounds, ever so slowly though.

Now that I've finally settled at the flat I hope to start an exercise routine, as of tomorrow morning hopefully. I've continued to eat well since being here and now that it's my own fridge and cupboards, there is nothing tempting me to binge..although I'm having 2 meals a day and can feel my stomach rumbling as I'm typing this; I just cba to eat any more if it means salad now, eh.

Need to learn me some nice soup recipes.

It can be hard to deal with those changes. Heck I had a couple bad days just because I went from working 12 hours a day to a normal working day.

Stay focussed and remember why you are doing this.

Yup yup, I think it will be much easier living away from the fam.

It's the working out that gonna be an issue, but I'll think of something or just maybe go for walks more instead.

Well done Hannah. Now that it's getting a bit colder it's harder just to live on salad. But you're doing the best thing by finding some soup recipes. Jacket potatoes are really good comfort food as it gets colder. Good luck with the exercise

Nooooooooo. No cheese! Or if you have to have geese have quark but make sure you have lots of salad or veggies with it! Personally I love it with baked beans and a salad.

Also here's a quick carrot soup recipe :)

Fry finely chopped celery in a big saucepan on a very low light. You can use frylight or normal oil.

When it gets soft add loads of carrots, boiling water, and half a veggie stock cube (or a whole one if you're making a massive batch). Add a little salt too. Boil and then reduce heat to a simmer for ages to make the carrots really soft, about 25-30mins.

Then blend it all with an electric blender, and add ground black pepper and fresh chopped coriander on the top to serve. You can freeze it in portions too. Enjoy :)

Good luck adapting to being in the flat. If you are hungry between meals, how about having a banana or a healthy snack :)

Ooooooh sounds lovely! I ought to start making some home made soups because I've started purchasing those sachet Heinz ones and as yummy as they are, wondering if i'd be better off making my own :3
