Getting on track after missing class!

I know a lot of people do SW without going to class, some very successfully but I am useless I know someone else is watching me - recording my weight and making sure I know where I am going wrong. I missed class last week to go to an awards ceremony - we won by the way- yipee!

But that means I have been off plan since Thursday morning when I stupidly decided to eat what I felt like, a slight hangover on Friday meant more junk food and a takeaway for tea and now I can't seem to get back under control, I keep starting each day with good intentions but have developed a taste for things I shouldn't and that is overriding my efforts.  I do really want to get motivated again, I have been messing about for far too long - I want to be at target by May that's 23 weeks and I need to loose 33lbs.  I need to start losing 2lb a week on a regular basis to have any chance of achieving this goal - it is time to get serious.

I need to set a new food diary challenge so come Thursday when I get weighed again I am going to start a new page (turn over a new leaf?) and set about that 2lb a week loss.

Wish me luck!!!

Weigh Day Results 28 July 2011

Drum role please! OK I am ready to announce my weight change following my holiday... I am very pleased, I thought it would be worse but in the end I only gained 3.5lb taking me back up to 14stone 2.5lb.  I have decided that I am going to try and lose 1.5 this week and get me back down to overweight instead of obese. I know it is going to take a while to rectify the damage but at least it isn't half a stone.  So I figure I need a new target I would like to weigh 12 stone 12 by the end of October that is 14 weeks away and by my reckoning 18.5lb.  I know that is pretty ambitious considering my average of just less than 1lb a week, but aim high and who knows what you might achieve. Shoot for the stars and you might just hit a cloud on a sunny day and make a rainbow.

I am going to try and get back to keeping an online food diary and add some more foody photos.  I suppose I should make it a challenge; so how about I pledge to keep a food diary, provide at least one recipe and one photo a week for the next 14 weeks.

Good luck everyone and just keep slimming
