Good day - busy but enjoyable. Worked my West Felton Pilates clients hard this morning and home for lunch, followed by a spot of training. No class this evening so time for the paperwork.

Exercise session took 35 minutes and undertaken as children 2 and 3 ate their toasted cheese sandwiches!
Wednesday 9th June
Very busy day - 2 Personal training clients back-to-back and two pilates classes at Kinnerley in the evening. Love it, means I can't nibble! Anyway, got very organised and took a packed lunch (was making them for kids and husband, anyway) which I ate in the car between clients so no tummy rumblings and no stopping at petrol stations for chocolate because I'm ravenous! No personal exercise undertaken but jumped about and ran with my clients so felt that was enough and simply couldn't have fitted it in today.
Food - porridge, cheese and pickle sandwich on wholemeal bread, carrot, apple and grapes, chicken with baked potato, cauli and carrots. Hot chocolate before bed because I felt like a treat!
Trying not to weigh myself - DO NOT get obsessional with the scales - once a week is sufficient and shows the right picture - fluctuations during the week can be down to hormones and dehydration. Have measured my waist, though - which will be the real indicator rather than weight, anyway.
Thursday 9th June
Signed up a new Personal Training client this morning - all good! Went for a 4 mile run with the dog. Not very fast as feeling hungry (11.30am - forgot to take a banana with me after seeing client) and can't run very well on little fuel. Seeing a client tonight and then early night, I think. Am tired and sleep is very important for recovery.
Food - porridge, 4 ryvita and mackeral pate, carrot, chopped banana, strawberries and blueberries with natual yogurt, salmon, baked potato, carrots and french beans, snacks - apple, three oatcakes and peanut butter
