New Motivation on my weight loss journey

Welcome Dear Reader

I go to a lovely weight management club twice a week , it includes exercise and an interesting talk about food /weight loss issues. well through this year i have lost just over two stone but have a few more to go (at least three). I had lost motivation recently, still kept all that i lost off but haven't made any more progress. Friday night we had our Christmas 'do' all very lovely . yes we were allowed pudding and drinks lol. seeing every one in their posh clothes as apposed to their sweaty gym clothes has given me back my motivation strangely.

So bright and early Saturday morning off i went on a 51/2 mile walk with the dog and again this afternoon . Back to gym class tomorrow evening to do two back to back classes. I have been very careful with my food intake and drunk quite a bit of water. I struggle with snacking in the evenings and to  keep me out of the kitchen I  intend to update and use this blog as a diary.  I intend to jot down food I have eaten and exercise I have taken, also my thoughts especially when I'm struggling. I'm hoping that  to see it all written down will help  to keep the incentive going. I may bore you with the odd photo of my meal but only if i think its a bit different to the norm.

So My weight Saturday 26 November was 12.13  on  my scales first thing in morning. will weigh my self every Saturday and update  on here. Tomorrow I will do some basic measurements, I will also note down my starting weight before and measurements just so when the going gets tough i can see how far I've progressed. I also have a fit-bit so I can track my steps which does encourage me to move more.

I would love to be more knowledgeable about nutrition so will try and read and  research as I'm going along. I'm not going on a 'diet' but hoping to make sensible choices and control portion sizes which I was doing but have let it slip so I need to take control again. I can do this and I will do this. I'm not brave enough yet to post a picture of myself at the moment but have taken one, so may be one day !

Looking forward to the new slimmer me in the new year, Would love to have more interest in fashion and make up etc. Haven't been for such a long time due to being overweight so will need to update myself in that area too.

I feel like I have started my new year resolutions six weeks early but I know I will probably gain a few  pounds over Christmas so I'm trying to get ahead and minimize any impending gain.

So until tomorrow evening

Take care
