I wasn’t sure whether to bother writing an entry this week. It’s another tale of lack of commitment to the cause. Here’s the thing. The food I eat is usually the right food. But there are three problems this week.

The first is lack of exercise. The temperature has dropped . Yesterday it was 5 degrees outside when I woke up. Today it is warmer. But summer is over and there is less incentive to get up and walk in the cold.

The second is the old Chateau du Embankment. It’s tempting to have a glass or two of wine. And my rules this month say no. Last night I had a one or two as well.

I’ve also been ill. I don’t know what is wrong, but when I think that I’m over it, I feel sick again. Getting up this morning was difficult. I’m bloated and congested. Hopefully I will shake this bug this week.

Last week’s travel knocked me out of my routine. I’m not travelling until October now, so hopefully I can make progress…. but let’s see. There is a danger I will wipe out all the progress I made in the first quarter if I don’t knuckle down.
