New Year, new start...

OK so I'm a bit late to be jumping on the New Year bandwagon but that suits me. I've been off work sick today and I'm not likely to be in tomorrow either so while I can't read or concentrate much I can get some thinking done.

I want to lose 24kg this year. I'm not admitting this anywhere else, but I really really want to reach 74kg this year. That would be a huge achievement. (It would have been 69kg but there was a blip over Christmas so there's another 5kg to catch up on!!!)

So here's the thing. 24kg is 2kg a month, which is 0.5kg a week. Which is very doable once I get back on my feet again. Suffering from a cold is not conducive to weight loss. I don't care what anyone says - cough bottle and lemsip are not cal free unfortunately although I'm taking them as if they are!!

So this week. Well I'm focussing on getting better and I'm eating what I fancy. Today this worked quite well, even with a mammoth bar of choccy I ended up 61cals over my allowance. So this is good. It could've been a lot lot worse. Plus my darling boyfriend has left me with a good big tub of veg curry which will be good - low in cals, filling and spicy so I can taste it!!!

So we're going back to basics for the rest of this month. Record everything I eat and drink, aim for 30mins exercise 5 times a week, 5 fruit & veg a day min, drink 2litres of water a day minimum.

For a start of the year this will be good enough I think. And hopefully I'll be back to my pre Christmas weight in a week or two......it's not proper weight, I know that, I just need to let it go away again now :)

Happy New Year!!!!
