Although lots of wonderful things happened last year on the weight aspect I totally blew it over the past few months and I am now heavier than I have been in15 months. I am disgusted with myself about this. Yes I can make excuses about being ill and stressed but they are still excuses and not acceptable. For most of the year I was far too complacent about my weight, I guess in part because being this weight was so much better than I had been for the past 15 years. So I allowed my weight to go up and down for much of the year and till the end when I just gave up and gave in and became an eating machine. Of course having to stop exercising when sick made my weight gain happen way too easily and the great feeling I had been getting from exercise disappeared.

Well the slump is over. A New Year, a new resolve and I intend to get to goal this year. I have written up a weekly exercise plan to get me back into the exercise mode. It will be difficult because I am relatively unfit now but I have learnt that my body and my mind need me to exercise. So that is the focus for this month. I cannot run anymore which is very disappointing and I want to do all the funruns I did last year and beat my own times. Won't happen if I don't get serious so here goes. Of course finding the time each day is the difficult part but I am going to try. Our new years eve celebrations were cancelled beacuse my poor DH hurt his back while we were doing a tip run and he is now unable to walk. I spent the time instead (except when I was waiting on him, or driving kids) joining challenges, taking weights and measurements, and photos, and writing up plans and goals.

Did my 30 minutes fitball circuit this morning and an 8km bike ride tonight. Have eaten to plan, and cooked tomorrow nights dinner so when I come home from work there will be no excuse.

Next ot my desk I have placed the butter picture with a weight written on the back of each (great visual stimulus) which end with me being my lowest weight in 15 years. That is my goal for my birthday in March. Will be difficult but if I don't make it it won't be for lack of trying.

MINI GOALS will be placed in side bar later and this time I intend to achieve them.

Happy New year Everyone. Lets make this a successful one for us all in which many of our dreams come true.
