Day 1 of 2012 - a new start

Hi all
Happy New Year to you all - fat thin or otherwise :0)

I am restarting my clock today so this is a sort of summary post.
I started this blog on 23rd May weighing 19st 6.5lbs and at my best in early Dec had gone down to 17st 11lbs.

I will weigh in tomorrow about 6lbs heavier but I'm quite proud of my achievement and am optimistic that this year I can do better - mostly because I'm not going to waste the first five months of the year pseudo-dieting - you know what I mean 'saying I'm following SW but not losing any weight'.

Since June I have been going to Curves twice a week regularly and that has made a huge difference to my shape and my stamina. I can now go for a walk without sounding like I'm having a heart attack and dance at a barmitzvah party (as I did last night) until 1:30 AM (!)  and not need an oxygen mask or a 'sit-down' in the middle - although my legs are very tired today, my back aches & my head is a little sore!

I have a nice quiet afternoon as the boys and Andrew are of to see Saracens at Vicarage Lane so I'm going to read my new SW pack - collected last week but as yet untouched by human hands! I'll do my planning for this week and write my shopping list for after class tomorrow.

It's also highly likely I'll nosh through the odd bits of 'naughtiness' left in my house but before I go to bed anything uneaten but open will go into the food recycling bin so my field is clear tomorrow.

I'm also setting myself three targets for 2012:

  1. To be under 15 stone by next Christmas & therefore a size 14(ish).
  2. To do some exercise at least three times a week - this means if I can only do two 'Curves sessions' I go for a long walk or whatever takes my fancy.
  3. To blog at least three times a week - at least that way it will be more interesting for us all!!
So that's it for me today.

I wish you all a very happy new year - blog followers declared & silent - thank you for the support and here's to a magnificent 2012
