Hello lovely people, thanks for keeping my diary warm
And i thought i was busy a week ago - ha!
Complete madness, too many deadlines, too many meetings and not sleeping well due to stress
Upsides - weight stable and taking time for lunch with a friend now and then a dance class
I will survive, hope to deliver all the necessary and will be xmas hols sooner than believable!

LOL love the casual dropping in to the conversation of a new toy
HNY Katie and look forward to seeing you back here! Another exciting year for you, I bet, with the charity and everything else. How did you get on with the weebly site? I came to a grinding halt, I'm afraid...

Thank you for all being here and helping me along an unbelievable journey. When I look back at my first post (Jan 3rd 2011), my only hope was to be slightly less obese and uncomfortable - I never thought I would get to be a normal sort of size!
In January last year (2012) I hit a goal that I never dreamed of - and yet this year has been even better for me I focused on fitness, I toned up and I discovered that low carb eating was going to be my lifestyle forever! A big milestone for me was giving up tracking carbs & cals mid year - suddenly food was something lovely to eat when hungry but not obsess over. That has been a delight to learn while still maintaining.
What does that mean now? I have discovered that I can easily maintain around a set point of "about 12 stone". If I eat well and exercise it's 11.75, if I slob around and drink wine it's 12.25. I've tried cheating a bit - all I do is get horrible pains in my tummy, feel lethargic or starving. Luckily this seems to be training my taste buds well!
Next steps - over the last 6 months I've obviously lost something on my legs as all my 16 trousers too big and look stupid! But 14s are still a bit tight round the tummy. So plan is to see if I can shift my set point down by half a stone. I don't actually care about the weight but do want to have trousers to wear. Also I discovered an old diet book (from 88!) where I was 11 stone - I have no intention of being that skinny so 11.5 seems reasonable
Once DD goes back to school next tuesday (8th) then dancing restarts and I will have to stop drinking on school nights. Let's see what that does - not planning to get too serious unless necessary!
Thanks again all for holding my hand - looking forward to spending time with you here in Minimins in 2013
best wishes
Katie

Katie, that's quite inspirational. I'm so glad you've found your woe - it's the same as mine! I love low carbing, it's absolutely right for me and I find myself feeling smug sometimes that I know a 'secret' that others don't (in my mind anyway!).
Have a really happy & successful 2013. x

Happy Sunday lovely people
Had a lovely Japanese lunch out with my parents on Friday - love sashimi and particularly enjoyed the rice as I have it so rarely. Unfortunately remembered why yesterday and today - feel rather bloated! Anyhow, last wine tonight and just finished the SF chocs - so time for a little clean and green I think
Have a great weekend
