Happy New Year everyone !!! :new_year:
Hope you all had a lovely time over the festive period. I certainly have !!
I have been completely up the wall these past couple of weeks. I've had two different lots of family staying with me (including some on Christmas day) family doo's, meeting up with friends , two of which have been home from Australia for Christmas ( both in different circles of friends) working at the football matches, and just generally being busy. Looking forward to life slowing down and getting back to normal.
Can't say I've been on plan at all but I've enjoyed what I've ate. I'm not a real lover of chocolate and sweets but have enjoyed the buttery toast (on the white bread) and the cheese and crackers although haven't overdone on them either. I even threw out 2 mince pies yesterday !! I have had a few Chinese take outs with friends but I've chose wisely and got a Low syn option. Yesterday has been my first non alcohol day since the 20th Dec !!!!!
At the mo I've got a bit of a cough and a cold and generally feel a bit run down. Not surprising seeing as I haven't sat still !!
Sooooo- got on the scales this morn to check the damage - 4.5lb on . Was expecting more so that's a bonus !
But I'm not stressing and just moving onwards and downwards.
I'm all prepared to start again. I went shopping yest to buy some green tea, fruit, veg, ryvita, cottage cheese and have made a pan of carrot and lentil soup. I'm back on it today. I'm gonna go for a low syn week to kick start my new year to my new me. I've checked on my calendar and there are 13 Saturdays until I go to Aintree races for the grand national and 23 Saturdays til my mates wedding. So I've got 2 goals to aim for . I'm not going to set a weight target as I've never met a monthly challenge yet and don't wanna get disheartened if I don't meet it. I am gonna join the January challenge tho and go for a loss of 6lb.
When I have had a few mins I have checked on threads at what people have been up to. Gonna go bk over them now and see how you're all doing.
Extra easy today - feeling lousy today so hopefully manage to eat this.
