Had a lovely meal out with Kathryn this evening - we used to work together and it is always good to catch up. People make life rich and I am grateful.
Having to count calories, steps and time in front of the TV/laptop is proving quite motivating. Can't wait until I take some weight off and my stomach shrinks - then I will naturally not be able to eat as much. Really pleased that so many 'chain' restaurants and 'take aways' have calorie information now - it is so helpful and there are always low calorie choices. This morning I almost bought myself a breakfast pretzel - until I spotted that the calorie count was 356 - wow! I bought a banana for breakfast instead. I could easily eat breakfast before I leave for work but because that would be before 7am I choose to wait an hour and eat at 8am when I reach the office. Otherwise I may be snacking by 9!!
The counting will soon become 2nd nature I hope. I am driven forward by looking forward to wearing some sleeveless tops and dresses in the summer - to feel free instead of covering up.
We are off out tomorrow - Valentine's day - with Brian and Shirley - don't know where to but wherever we are going it will be lovely to be together. It will be easy to eat sensibly and hopefully I can count some steps!
I will report again tomorrow.........
