Day 1 - third time round. I will do this.

Different targets this time. To get fitter (have bought a trampette as I never found time to get to the gym) and to stop focusing my entire bloody life on food and my weight.

Day 18 again. Intend to start again straight away now that I have finally realised properly that this is a way of life not a short term regime. Got a wedding mid June and a holiday mid July so some nice goals to fix in my mind.

No sunshine today but I know that looking after my health will make me feel good. Hope evreyone feels good today.

Had a great walk on the coast path yesterday and got that buzz. Feeling good in spite of teh fact that i know I haven't stuck to the programme nearly as well this time round as last. I may not lose as much weight this time but i really think I am learning and relaxing for the long haul - whihc is what I need to do.

Have agreat day everyone.

today I am going to focus on my health - do 30 minutes walking, eat good stuff slowly and enjoy my day off ! Hope everyone has a happy Monday !

Bad bad day yesterday. Late night and early start. had to rush out early so couldn't listen to my morning coaching session (usually sets me up for the day!). then spent a total of 5 hours in the car, mostly in traffic jams. Hated every minute. It was my son's birthday so good excuse to compensate myself for rubbish day by drinking half a bottle of red wine and eating large piece of birthday cake.

Ho hum. Will I ever learn ?! Feel lousy this morning (well I would wouldn't I !) - Will be easy to be kind to myself and be healthy today. It makes such good sense. Hope you are all being more sensible than me !

I literally welled up a bit this morming when I logged on and saw all thsoe lovely supportive mails. Thank you so much all of you. makes hell of a difference. I succumbed to the wine last night but had two small galsses and put the stopper in so that felt good - I was in control . Apparently it is possible to open a bottle of wine and not drink it all at one sitting ! And today.(day off work) ..I went to the gym !!! Hurrah !!! Feel fab. Must do that again very soon...

Must settle down to an evening and respond to a few other blogs - it's all take at the moment but I am so grateful. Hope you all had a good day.

Morning all - hope everyone is well and happy today. Bit fed up myself. have been tyring to sell our house for a whole year now and still no joy. In the meantime I keep driving a 50 mile per day round trip to work. Not a huge distance I know but it's wearing. Last night I found out that teh house I saw two months ago and fell in love wiht has now been sold. Oh well. Guess there are more houses out there but I'm not looking again till we've sold ours !

I must must must find time to exercise. I have been fit(ish) all my life until the last 8 months (when i started a college course on top of everything else.) I know I need that buzz but never seem to find the space. That is my new goal. I ahve cut down my overall food intake and kept off alcohol and sugar. I've tried tp drink 2L of water a day though that is very hit and miss. But exercsie is the thing that will do it so I have to find a way.

I'll get there with all this lovely support and encouragement !

Love and luck to all today

An alcohol free weekend - unheard of ! And I feel pretty good. Would feel better but slept badly last night - not sure why...

Rainy day today but what the hell - I'm in a sunny place - hope you all are too !

Day 8 and it's all pretty good.Am focusing hard on staying off the sugary (and alcoholic) stuff and that's going great and I am really proud of myself for that. as a result have been less focused in listeing to my body so feel i am probably eating a bit more than I should but - hell - one thing at a time !

I have to say it is great to wake up every morning feeling lively instead of half dead. And I've got my husband thinking about kicking the sweet stuff too now which is great.

have a brilliant Sunday everyone.

Good day yesterday - thanks for your support guys - much appreciated. Think the wine on Thursday was actually quite helpful. I felt so bad Friday morning that I feel quite inspired for an alcohol free weekend !

Hope you're all happy and well

fell off my perch last night and after a rotten day at work drank half a bottle of wine. i feel horrible. Why why why.

Will put it behind me and be positive today...

happy Friday all

really enjoyed my day at home yesterday and managed for the first time to drink my 2L of water. What a difference it makes ! It definitely reduced my 'hunger' substantially. Will try that agina today. Likewise I am now very clear that staying off sugar helps enormously. Two really good tools. Now just need to find a way to build exercise in more often...

Hope everyone is having a good week and enjoying the sunshine !

day off today and I got up and put my gym stuff on straightaway so I don't decide to exercise 'later' (i.e. some other day) - Body Pump class at 10.30 and I will be there.

Real sugar cravings yesterday. I decided not to worry too much about how much I ate and just focused on eating good stuff. So I ate more than I needed but it was good stuff and I feel better today.

Am feeling focused and positive - hope it lasts ! Hope everyone has a good day.

must put that alarm on five minutes earlier...

Day 3 and I feel it's 'underway' if you know what I mean. already feel brighter and more energetic and sleeping well. Support from you all is fantastic. Thaks everyone.

More later !

Day 1 in the bag - but really only thanks to the great support from other bloggers - thanks everyone - very much appreciated. I'm afraid I nearly succumbed to first day - itis You now - oh I'll start tomorrow - Monday is a better day really etc etc. But I came on line and saw all those messages and hung in there !

A sunny morning , kids back to school and it's the only 20th April 2009 I'll ever have so better make the most of it !

Have a good day everyone.
