I can't believe we're half way through the year already and I'm only doing my 2nd blog post - must really try harder to update more often.
So much has happened since I last wrote (obviously, it's been 6 months), Mr Fox was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis shortly after Christmas. At the same time he stumbled on the Nerd Fitness website, both of these things caused us to evaluate the way we were living our lives. At the end of January we started a 6 week trial of paleo eating - this is basically eating like a caveman, no grains, limited dairy and no processed foods. This was a massive step for me, I'd been veggie since I was 13 and was now starting to eat meat. which turned out to be the best thing for me, I lost 6lbs in the first week and lost 1.5 stone easily. I've now started doing body weight exercises 3 times a week and am working towards lifting weights. I can't wait to see the changes in me and in my body, I love to push myself, it's so rewarding.
With regards to the rest of my resolutions things are going great, I'm spending more time with Mr Fox - even if it's watching a DVD on a Friday night.
I've made 3 more sock monkeys, a doll's quilt, a quilt for my little girl, a bag for me and loads of wash kits as presents. I've also made some strawberry and some cherry jam for Christmas presents. I am currently working on a union jack quilt for my son.
I've not paid off any debts yet but am due to receive a lot of money back on a PPI claim so this money will be going to clear several debt.
I think that's it for now, I'm going to post some pictures of me and my weight loss progress so far as well as all my home made things when I get the time.
