Hopefully we will stick to these plans, having it down in writing makes it harder to cop out and go to the chippy or grab a ready meal. I think I mostly have all our food groups covered. Most of the rice and pasta we eat is wholewheat as is bread.
I seem to be picking up the Welsh language ok so far, a few things I need to listen carefully for, like sometimes 2 words seem to roll into one. The yoga, not so good, but I am totally unfit, so when the hold is too long I stop and stretch. Better to do this than injure myself.
