Hello 2011. Hello blog.
I've been off plan for the last few weeks due to massive busy festive blah blah bollocks. Excuses. I ate lots of lovely stuff and it was most definitely worth it. I've put on about 5lbs but I'm really not that phased, I don't feel like I've failed. I'm somewhat proud that it wasn't more despite all the rubbish I've been eating over Christmas. The major positive is that throughout the holidays I was actually looking forward to restarting the diet. Anyway, moaning will get me nowhere so it's all smiles and happy thoughts from here on!
I've been bought some life lines, in the form of Christmas presents, that I think will really help me make this year 'the year' I shift the chub. The three things are as follows:
1. A Nintendo Wii Fit Plus.

2. A make-your-own Scrapbook kit.
3. An amazing dress that's a size too small.

The Wii Fit was the biggest suprise this Christmas, I had no idea whatsoever that I was getting it so it was a really lovely gesture from Liam. I'm a very lucky girl! I set up my profile last night and watched my BMI go swiftly into the big red 'OBESE' zone. I then got told by a cartoon I'm super fat. Good times. Although, for some reason by fitness age is 23?? Madness. Especially when Liam (who has an envious BMI of 19.3 and cycles 10 miles a day) got age 52! Shocker. Anywho, it's all good. I've done 20 minutes so far today and I'm looking forward to another round tonight.
Now, with the scrapbooking kit I shall create a week by week food plan for myself and have a hands on flick book to keep me motivated for the year. I'm planning all my meals again, now too strictly. I'll also write down some thoughts etc, random ideas for things. I might have a page for things I'd like to do when I hit target. Every little helps!
The dress, as you can imagine, is just a nice little goal for the short term. Short term goals are majorly important. Don't push yourself too hard to do too much - you'll give up so much easier. The feeling of completing a smaller challenge is just as rewarding. Baby steps!
I've also got about a million recipes I need to get on and post - watch this space.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year.
