This week

This week I tried to eat salads every day for lunch and eat more veges with dinner.  I also went to the gym 3 times and walked around the shops heaps which must of all helped with a loss of 1.2 kilo.  I feel like I am back on track now and being back at work helps heaps as I find it easier to stick to the diet with a daily routine.

I attended a body balance class on Sunday and found that really good, but boy was I sore for the rest of the week.  It was 45 minutes of stretching and while that felt really good durng the class I have felt it this week.

This week I intend to exercise and eat more veges again.  Keep away from too much bread and definately leave the nutella int he cupboard.

Weekend

I always find the weekend hard, especially when we have family parties.  Saturday I went to the gym and in the evening had a ww meal.  Sunday I went to a family party, had some spinach dip (which is made with sour cream) but that's all that I had that was a bit naughty.  I do find it much easier to keep on track when I am at work, its all about routine and planning.  ONE STEP AT A TIME

Back at WW

Back at WW this week and I sure did have a great Christmas/holidays with a gain of 3.4 on the scales.  In all honesty I knew I had gained from how my clothes were fitting, just a bit snug and I dont want to start going down that path again, so I am back into it with enthusiasn and deterination to succeed.

What am I going to do??

• Exercise (at least 3 times a week) and try and include every day exercise e.g parking away from the shops to make me walk etc
• Track - yes I hate tracking but it does work
• Drink lots of water
• Stay positive, dont beat myself up if I slip up

Being back at work does make it easier to stick to a plan, and this week my 15  year old son came down with chicken pox so I haven't had a chance to snack.
Here is to a positive week!

New Start

I have returned from holidays refreshed and ready to get back into exercise and healthy eating.  I am going back to ww on Wednesday evening and expect to have gained some weight, but thats expected on holidays and I am fine with that.
So now I am planning and intend to plan my weeks meals ahead and set myself up to achieve my goals.

New Year

I have decided that 2010 will have the same commitment to my weight loss journey as last year. 

• I will attend WW meetings weekly and stay for the meetings
• I will go to the gym 3 times a week or more if I can fit it in
• I will attempt to track and keep a healthy diet

I am proud of 2009 and what I have achieved and feel so much better health wise.  Its amazing how much 15 kilos can make a difference in  your life.  We just came back from holidays and I had no trouble walking lot and felt comfortable in a swim suit and just loved the swimming.

• Next holidays in Dec 2010 I hope to be in a size 12.

wishing everyone a Happy New Year
