New Year, New ME!

So, the new year has arrived and what a year it's going to be. I can't lie, I did sit yesterday and looked at my 2013 and was disappointed that I STILL hadn't reached my target weight.  Needless to say I was not looking forward to attending group tonight!

I am my own worse enemy when it comes to trying to lose weight. If I have a good result on the scales I usually celebrate and reward myself with chocolate, wine or a takeaway.  Oddly enough when I have a bad result on the scales, usually down to my own poor choices, I commiserate with chocolate, wine or a takeaway! Admitting this to myself makes me face up to the fact that this is why I always seem to take 2 steps back for every one I take forward.

So what's going to be different this time I hear you say! Well first things first, I got weighed today and was chuffed to discover over Christmas and New Year I had only put on half a pound. The downside is I am back to my starting weight of 14st 5lbs, the good side is, I am back to square one, not further away by weighing more. It really is a fresh start.

I know that by Food Optimising 100% I could drop half a stone next week, but I'm going to take baby steps and am aiming for a couple of pounds a week, one award at a time.  I also plan to get reacquainted with the gym this week and may even attempt body combat, much to the delight of my friend Lesley!

I'm not setting myself any New Years resolutions, I am just going to work towards being fitter, healthier and happier so that on my wedding day I can feel truly amazing! 

Don't forget to share this blog with friends, the more the merrier!
