Diet Update

It was weigh day today, and i have lost 3 pounds this week, which means in 6 weeks, i have lost one stone and 2 pounds!

I am really pleased with my progress as i am not following a particular diet, just cutting down on all the bad things, counting calories and going to the gym.

I have decided once i hit the 2 stone mark, i am going to reward myself with a nice massage or facial, and maybe a new pair of shoes!

Check back next week to see how much i have lost then.

The New Me

This year i have decided it is about time i finally got myself fit and healthy, and i am going to share my, what i imagine will be a very long journey here - on my blog.

Month One - After weighing on Monday morning, i have now lost my first stone, i am so pleased.  I have rejoined the gym, going 2-3 times a week, and am totally loving it.

I have a long way to go yet, but i finally feel motivated to do something, and i damn well am going to carry on.

V. Annoyed!

Just watched 'The Big Fat Truth About Low Fat Foods' on BBC3.  The somewhat clueless presenter, that is Zoe Salomon, decided to have a packet of Kelloggs Special K Mini-Bites for breakfast, and then complaining she was hungary, polished off almost a whole tub of ice-cream!!!

Am v annoyed - the programme portrays that all low-fat foods are bad for you, although i think she was missing the point, especially with the mini-breaks, they are only 99 calories, and to quote an old saying 'it does what it says on the tin', that is exactly what they are, a BREAK/SNACK food, not a whole breakfast substitue - ARGH!!!
