NOvember 2

Yesterday I celebrated seven days without coffee. But what was even more important was it was also seven days of consecutive exercise. I can't remember the last time I did that. I think that the fact that each bout of exercise is only 20 minutes long really helps. Even if the workout for the day is really hard, I know it's only for 20 minutes, so it seems manageable. And then I follow it up with a walk in the park, which is pure pleasure. On the one day where there's no workout planned, I just do a longer walk. If little and often is the only way I can get exercise done at the moment, so be it.

Three ticks again for me for NOvember...

8.00: banana smoothie while stretching

Yum – lentil and eggplant roasted soup and Cadbury Old Gold Rum And Raisin Chocolate! I did not even know this type of chocolate existed!

Hi Charlotte!!

Wow 7 days without coffee - I'm impressed. I'm slowly trying to cut back also... but don't think I can live without my morning one. Sounds like you are doing awesome with your exercise. I agree with the 20 mins blocks - its so much easier to break it down mentally that way.

Thanks Shannon, still having some coffee cravings but it's been easier than I thought!

Nice work Charlotte. Good to see a bit of chocolate in there too!

Hi Kathleen, that explains why you might not get that chocolate there! I'm sure you have lots of other yummy things though!
