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!!!

Another year older

In 2 weeks its my birthday yet again, another year older and still not another year wiser!

Im hoping 2011 is going to be a much better year all round - i have so many dreams i still want to achieve and hope this year will be the start of it all.

Keeping everything crossed!

My best christmas present

Well, my first post of 2011, and i am typing this on my best christmas present ever - my new so cool and so tiny netbook!

Hope everyone had a great christmas and Happy New Year - here is to a great 2011 x

Christmas Shopping

First day of my week off work - and i have blitzed my christmas shopping - i havnt bought everything but i have made a damn good start.

Still have quite a lot to buy, but feel much happier now i at least have something - i was getting a bit paniky i must admit.

On another note, thinking that it is only so many days until Christmas, means that it is not long until we say goodbye to another year and welcome in 2011 - i will be another year older, but i am hoping there will be big changes in my life in 2011.

Jingle Bells

I cant believe that we are almost half way through November - i am usually so organised and have at least started christmas shopping by now - but this year i havent even thought about it yet - which is now starting to panic me slightly.

I really have to get organised and do what i love doing - make some lists so i can start crossing things off them!!
