Half Week Progress
I am just over half a week into attempting to get a handle on my weight and fitness. I have been eating better but snacking is still a bit of an issue with all of the tasty Christmas snacks around me. It isn't my weigh in date yet and I am trying my best not … Continue reading Half Week Progress
Diet Day 0
I don't really like using the word diet because it has connotations of being this thing that people do for a small amount of time and then stop. However, I have a lot of weight to lose so I guess it is pointless to avoid it. Maybe I can start calling it something more cool … Continue reading Diet Day 0

Nice Weather and Comfort Eating
Even though I can't go out very much I am really glad that we have been having some good weather over the last few weeks. Having warmer weather and sun shine means that I can open the windows and sit out in the garden or even just look outside and see sunshine and flowers. It … Continue reading Nice Weather and Comfort Eating
