Still very lazy – But not when it comes to food!

OK, I haven’t written in a while because I have been terrible with the exercise….as in I have NOT started any form of exercise!

This weekend I went to a bookshop launch and even though I had been good for the entire Saturday, I couldn’t resist the lovely pasta salad and crackers and cheese station. Even though we got side plate servings, I can tell you that my friend and I were back in the line for seconds. So, to put it plainly, I haven’t lost any weight, nor have I gained any. Maintaining isn’t my goal right now, so I am marching myself down to the gym today to renew my membership!

Oh on Friday I went to an Indian restaurant with my family and when I saw a full length picture of taken on that night, it was enough to depress me. Anyway, that’s me for today…..I will keep you posted on my signing up for the gym progress.

Great Blogs on Dieting

Over the last few days I have been surfing the web for blogs about weight loss and personal experiences and have come across quite a few. The blog that really caught my eye was www.diet-blog.com. The published an article which can be read here: http://www.diet-blog.com/archives/2008/04/04/could_writing_a_blog_help_you_lose_weight.php

In short, they were discussing whether or not a blog could be a useful tool on the road to weight loss and good health. The responses were overwhelming as it seems that many people use their “diet” blogs as a source of “personal accountability”.  I will be blogrolling a few of my favourites so that we can all enjoy!

Wake up Call!

 

I haven’t written in a while, mainly because I was on a few days off. One of the things I purchased was a digital bathroom scale. Most importantly, I have just accepted that I now officially wear a size 22….something that I have never worn from I have known myself. On my return I burst open the box containing my new scale and saw a weight that has made me so down….to the point where taking my weight in hand takes precedence over any other issue I have going on for me. I also now weigh 273 lbs. That is not normal for me, but now I understand why I was probably huffing and puffing just to climb the stairs.

 I am being open and honest. It is now time to arrest the situation. I am now beginning serious 8 week challenge. I will report my weight weekly and reflections on how I felt throughout the week.
