The start of a new beginning.

I have decided to start a blog for myself really.  To give me something to look back on in a few months time and to really see if I have lost weight, feel more confident and continue to exercise.  All with the help of slimpods.

I tried them months ago and just stopped for some reason and for the life of me I cant remember why.  I was walking most days and even managed to try a bit of a jog (but my knickers kept falling down so that put a stop to that).

Went on holiday in September and had a great time - just hated not being able to buy any of the lovely dresses as they just didn't fit.  The ones that I were offered were like tents and just not for me,

I might be 56 years old but I don't feel old and certainly don't want to look it.  I like to dress young and want to continue doing so as long as I can.

Some of the photos on holiday were horrible - and I was tagged in facebook for everyone to see :(

So I have started again with the slimpods.   I listen twice most days, just before going to sleep and then again when I wake up.  If I wake up in the middle of the night I put it on then and it usually sends me back to sleep.

I have been listening for 3 weeks now and have revamped my goals.

I have exceeded the first goal of 20 minutes exercise three times a week.  I have been doing more than 20 mins

I have failed at the 'I do some housework every day'  and reverted back to my slovenly ways:)  I live alone so it is too easy to leave things when no-one is ever going to know. So I have to give myself a kick up the backside with that one,

I have added as a goal today that I drink 6 glasses of water every day and have done that OK.

I am working on I will stop eating when I am full - I dont like leaving food but have done a couple of times.

All working towards the main goal of wearing my Christmas dress.

So.  It is my intention to ramble on this every now and again - hopefully it will keep me focused.  Hopfully nobody will ever read it apart from me !

Just decided that this is the ideal place to list my positives every day....

So today - Revamped goals to include water
                 Drank 6 glasses of water
                 Didn't have anything after dinner even though I wanted something sweet
                 Did 3 mile walk
