Well, the first offical weigh -in

 and I have an offical weight loss of 3.2 kilos.  Woohoo!  I'm proud.  Its been hard, but I can start to tell the difference.  I am eating loads more fruit (never used to eat it!), lots of veg (need to add more) and really working with spice and vinegars to enhance food flavours.  I feel a lot better about myself as a whole to.  Proud!

Been ages. Again

But I can proudly type here that things are looking so much better.  I started a new lifestyle plan on the 1st of June.  I've had one small hiccup - but a 2.1 kilo loss.  Nice :)  Weigh in day is Fridays, so I will be back then.  I can do this.  I can save my life!

Survived indoor

hockey .... just!

OMG ... Loved it, mucho paino but extreme fun,  See you all 8pm Wed!

I've been hiding again

I'm plodding along, counting some calories (but forgetting some days, and I pay)

But, its time to get serious.   So, I'm starting indoor tomorrow night.  If you hear of a fainting player, that will be me!   I'm excited, scared and jittery all at once ...

Plus, awesome exercise, playing a sport i adore ... what more can I ask for!

is now tracking

I have been tracking my calories for the last few days, trying to plot where and when I am going with my eating.  After day 2 I have nutted out at least some

.

Breakfast.  Its just not optional

Fat .... too much good fat is still fat

I need to add more vegies, more protein and a few more carbs.  Eating over and way under my calories isn't good.

And tracking isn't that hard.  I am enjoying it!

Ok ,,, challenge number one!

Yeah, didn't make the high school reunion either.

This years aim .... be healthy.  Yes, I want to loose a shedload of weight.  But I want to be healthy.  I don.'t feel healthy any more.

There is a 5km fun run in March.  I want to walk it.  Thats my aim!
