So, where have I been? The simple answer is, nowhere really. It's been so long since I posted that I can't remember where I was up to at that time. Best then to draw a line and move on I guess. It's safe to say that I am no further forward with my weight loss than I was then though I am no worse off which is something. Just a whole load of marking time which is not good however you look at it. I guess for my own benefit I need to reel out the 'excuses' so that it's all out of the way........ Apart from the weight, much has changed!
At the time of my last blog a very very close friend was seriously ill and I found it almost impossible to concentrate on anything. It was an horrendous time and one I would not wish to repeat in a hurry. His death left us all devastated, and I guess we still miss him so much, especially around celebration times. At the same time my daughter was not in a good place emotionally. We are very close so I spent a lot of time with her. It was a traumatic time but we all go through such things from time to time. It was, however, another excuse for me not to care about myself or my weight!
One joy on my horizon was the birth of my grandson Oskar. He gives us all so much pleasure and happiness and at 17 months old he has captured our hearts. Being 'granny' is amazing and I get to look after him one day a week. We do lovely things together - painting, cooking, printing, singing, drawing, reading etc etc etc.but sticking to food plans on Oskar days is a challenge!
I could go on with the excuses but I won't because that is what they are - excuses. It's the 1st January. I've made one resolution to use less e-communications and to try to write to friends and family more. Today I've written 8 letters! I've impressed myself. I know I should make a weight related resolution but I think that I may just jinx myself so I won't! I have a goal though as my lovely daughter is getting married in October. I want a stunning outfit but I don't want it in my current size, so .... I need to do something about that. I think I have until the summer before I go out to buy an outfit and I have to be smaller than I am.
I am going to try my best but I am not naive enough to think I don't need help! I can't commit to a regular daily blog like before but I will post when I can - at least weekly! It won't be easy - the food plan/weight loss or the blogging but I will do my best!
