January 17th

Today was a busy day at work and I managed to get out to do my visits in good time. I didn't have as many as usual as they are running the visits down at the moment as I am being seconded to help with more routine work so will not be out and about visiting until April. Oh well at least I won't be out in the freezing cold.

I finished my visits early and managed to get out for a quick walk with the dogs. Just round the block which is 1.5 miles. It is my stepson, Tom's 21st today and we were going out for a meal but I had to get to Slimming World as well as have a shower before the meal.

I was chuffed to bits that I lost another 4lb this week so 9lb lost in just two weeks.

We then went out to the Aagrah for Tom's birthday meal. There were about 15 of us and Tom enjoyed his night. I didn't stick to my diet but I didn't go stupid just because it was a buffet.

In the office again today. Not too bad as I caught up with all the backlog.

A quick couple of miles walked when I got home and then I went to Slimming World. First week back so hoping for good things. 5lbs lost! First week is usually good so not too much of a surprise to be honest. I have done lots of exercise and been good on my diet apart from Sunday when I apparently had 54 syns but I had cycled 46 miles so I think one cancelled the other out.

January 3rd

What a horrible day! Horizontal rain, sleet and snow accompanied by gale force winds. Pah!

This calls for drastic action. The Wii!!!! Yes I managed over an hour on the Wii doing Just Dance mainly. Feel a bit silly on my own but even sillier when my partner comes in and sits and watches but never mind it is needed.

Have been a bit naughty today though as there were some 'going out of date' chocolates and Isobel opened them and I aided and abetted her.

Having said that though I joined slimming World today. Daren't tell you how much I weigh but I could give a rugby player a run for his money!

Right, now I need to get determined head on without a doubt.
