It’s the start of a new year and like most I have a new year’s resolution, yep you guessed it "to lose weight".
So here is what I am going to do?
I am going to keep a virtual diary with weekly updates. It will include
• current weight
• body measurements
• energy consumption
• exercise
• thoughts, aka my pychological profile (warning contents may disturb some readers…)
• progress pictures, ahhh the most embarrassing aspect of this process!
Come with me on my weight loss journey, I look forward to your comments including your advice, ideas, personal experiences, recipes and progress... read on...

What the...
Well I'm not sure what is going on? It's almost like I am not wanting to lose weight, as I seem to be eating and want to eat everything in my sight and unfortunately my sights are not on celery sticks.
hey alex. been thinking of leaving a comment here for days, just couldn't get to it. i think it's normal to feel this way here and there. afterall it's a challenge not a leisure, so it's not supposed to be easy. don't be too harsh on yourself. any tiny progress is a part of solution and it doesn't has to happen every single day which also doesn't mean you are gonna fail. hang in there and you will be fine. :)
Thanks Sherry for the reminder of the fact that it's a challenge and not leisure. It's funny how I forget the obvious... Keep on reminding me xoxo Alex
Hi Em, it's terrible isn't it? but the good news is, you can just get back on the horse. It took me a couple of days to get back into it, as you know I had a shocker last week, but I seem to be kind of back on track.
I did go out today for lunch and had a large bowl of pasta and 2 slices of bread with butter (not ideal). I feel bad for eating it, but I am just going to make sure my next meal is better (I haven't had dinner yet, but that is my plan)... I am also going to go for a walk, but I will walk a little longer to take care of a couple of strings of spaghetti...
I am just going to take it as it comes and try not to beat myself up too much (I guess the little good that we do is better than what we used to do?)
Hang in there my friend, as I know next week will be different for you :)
