Here I go...

Weighed in this morning and...(drum roll)..1lb off!!! This actually pleases me as I have mucked around all week and had 2 meals at the weekend. One thing i am pleased with is the portion sizes I had (Friday a Thai curry and Saturday a hot and sour special) were half or what I would normally be able to eat before I started this diet back in September. One thing this diet has taught me is to eat mindfully and be aware of what I am shoving down my gob (I am getting less greedy). Now I am determined to get another good loss in February. 4lb off in a month is ok I suppose but too slow. I want to see numbers fast so I am now putting this challenge to myself and going for 100% all the way. I'll call it my February Fit Fast (FFF)..I'm away now to walk the wee legs off me and my dog. Day 1 starts here!!!!

Hi P did you enjoy your walk? It's bloomin cold here but I have been tucked up in bed sleeping intermittently.
I'm on for 4 night shifts but I am on track with my shakes this time lol.

Have a good day 1 and a great FFF xx

Thanks Ali, I couldn't say the walk was enjoyable, freezing and soaked to the bone...you are better on in your warm bed! I booked a wee weekend to celebrate the end of my job in 4 weeks time so hopefully that will keep me on track with my FFF! You are so good, I can't wait to get on track again and feel the 'buzz'. Good luck to us all!!!

So much for starting again...another weekend of failure with the result I have lost nothing....at least I am maintaining. Starting today (again) so this is my day 1. Have lots of cleaning to do and need to distract myself, the weather is awfully dull and rainy here. I had planned to escape from the dreary day and go to the cinema but I know I will eat and say 'Start on Monday' so I have decided to be a grown up, think about my goals and clean the house! Ok I am already wasting time so here I go.......

Hello how did your restart go yesterday ?!x

Hi Dani, went ok thanks but so difficult today...someone at work had brought in a cheeseboard and crackers...it killed me turning all that down as I have a real weakness for cheese but managed to drink a vanilla shake instead. Having a chocolate one now and thats me finished for the day (had a bar for breakfast). Now to fill up on water and get an early night. I wish I hadn't wasted all that time in January as I could have had another stone off by now but that's life...got to keep on jumping back on that exante wagon!! Hope the day has been ok for you

Another good day today..couple of litres of water down so far. When I get to 6pm I know I can keep going for the rest of the evening. It is amazing how much more energy I have when I stay off the carbs for a few days. I am going to try and remember this feeling when the dreaded weekend comes around again! It feels good!!!
