So, above looks like a car getting stuck at a load of Red Traffic Lights and stuck in traffic…. That treat really put me under. Guess a lot more effort is needed for Day 9 if I can as I did so well on Week 1 and do not want to be falling off the bandwagon. It shows you that just by having an extra sweet treat what it does to your nutritional content for the day!

How is anyone else getting on with their lifestyle changes? Feel free to comment below.

Write soon (during the day sometime for Food Blogs Day 9 and 10 and more coming this week on nutrition….)
