Day 34: Meals for work/school?
34) Do you take your meals from home to work? If so, what do you usually prepare?
Well, I don’t really leave home a whole lot, so I don’t need to worry about this anymore. I used to be really bad at bringing a packed lunch and would normally make it through my days just on cigarettes, bucketfuls of coffee and sheer bloody-mindedness. And now I’m paying the price for...

eldorm replied to your post: Day 33: Diet or lifestyle?
Yes! I think the key is realizing that it’s not a temporary thing. And being willing to accept that, and commit to “I will live the rest of my life like this.” This is the #1 reason why I think fad diets are so awful. They encourage the idea that a diet is a temporary…
You are so right! I’ve done every fad diet there is and the end...

Day 33: Diet or lifestyle?
33) Are you on a diet or are you making this a lifestyle?
I’ve been on some kind of diet for all my life, and it was only when I was diagnosed with insulin resistance that I realised a diet could be something other than a weight loss plan. Your diet, after all, is what you eat. Whether it’s healthy or unhealthy depends on what you are eating, not what you’re calling your food.

Some of these will be going on my next Indoor Workout Routine and duly logged on fitocracy.com where I track my transformation from bona fide Fitness Sloth to… whatever I’ll morph into next… ;o))

Anonymous asked: Without a shadow of doubt, you want to go on sulfasalazine, not methotrexate. I've been on both, and trust me in this one. Methotrexate is absolutely disgusting! :(

Day 32: Try a new fruit today
32) Try a new fruit today. Learn how to cut/eat it and enjoy! How was it?
I was planning to try a dragon fruit today. I think they look really tasty and have often thought of getting one, but never quite gotten around to it for some reason. Today, we started out with a second day of fun and games at the rheumatology department, and after that I was too down in the dumps to go on a wild fruit...

Is sugar really th devil in disguise? →
bmsbalance:
The short answer to this is yes. In the twelve years I have been in clinical practice as a nutritionist I have told my patients of all the changes they could make to their diet, cutting out sugar would create the greatest impact on their health .
This is because sugar forms the basis of so much of our western diet and I’m not just talking about the obvious sources such as adding...

day 31: my favourite workout clothes
31) What are your favorite workout clothes you own?
Day 31… I’ve been doing this 80-day challenge for a month now. And I’ve been on my weight shedding and fitness journey for three months. I guess that goes to show just how important it is to hold on to something that helps keep you focussed and motivated.
My favourite workout clothes that I own are sadly non-existent. I...

Had a meeting with the Consultant Rheumatolgist at my hospital today. Always an uplifting experience. Not! Got cortisone injections into my joints. (Ouch!!) Other rheumatologists I’ve met have said I can’t have no more as I’ve already had too many. This one said no worries, you can have three injections per year in each joint. Weird, or what?! He sent me off for a chest x-ray,...
