Yet Another New Start!

So it will be two years on Tuesday since I started this blog! And what have I achieved? Well not a lot really!

Had high hopes of loosing the vast amount of weight that I have  and if I had managed to loose just a pound a week since that day I would be just 2 stone from goal now!

But if you've read any of my previous post you will see that basically I have just kept hitting that reset button!

So where am I?

I have lost a total of 6.3 kg (13 lb 14 oz in old money) - so I am lighter than when I started however most of that has been in the past 7 weeks when I signed up to go back to meetings as well as online - I needed someone to be accountable to I think and thought that this would be the best way.

Our village has started a Saturday morning class but I didn't want to go to that as when I fail the whole village will know! So I do go to a Saturday class but over at work - it gets me to work about 10:30 so I do have some me time on a Saturday rather than all work!

I have decided to cancel my swim membership as I haven't really used it in the past 12 months and it was just money wasted (in fact I have switched our broadband provider, changed our mobile phone contract and have paid off my phone and will have an extra £100 + a month!)

My exercise has been the Happy Mile Walk. It takes about 15 minutes and has helped me a lot. I try and do it 4 times a week and since I have been doing it the weight is starting to come off. In fact went for a walk with hubby today and I was the one out front most of the time - usually I am lagging far behind!

I have also increased my fluid intake - according to a water app I should be drinking approximately 3.7 L per day so I try and get to 4 L to help.

Weight Watchers has changed their diet recently to something called Flex. It seems to have a lot more zero heroes and is between Smart Points and No Count - there is a thread on the Fat Club Connect board today which seems to be hinting that No Count will be disappearing in the next few weeks - lots of discussion about that is ongoing.

The main staples of Flex is eggs, chicken breasts, fat free greek yoghurt and fish. All things I can manage although too many eggs will constipate me! I have been tracking more over the past couple of weeks and I have lost 5 lb which has made me happy.

I can't get to class this week as I will be in York from Friday lunchtime - lots of alcohol, lots of food but also hopefully lots of walking too!! I will however, weigh myself before I leave on Friday so I know where I am for this week. I hope to have had a loss this week and then try and rein it back in on Monday morning of the following week so that I can at least have a stay the same by the Saturday - fingers crossed!

So, is this my last reset? I doubt it, but I need to try and get there. I am being more selfish at work and leaving earlier than I have done for the past 3 years and this then gets me home so that I can do my walk - fingers crossed this will continue!

Will keep you updated
