Today is a good day - I do really appreciate my weekends - I love my role within HR but life in the NHS is challenging at present so after a busy week I am glad to rest! After our weight action group yesterday where we all had a good laugh as well as some education and encouragement I was pleased to lose weight again so Robert and I enjoyed a meal out and I had what I fancied. That means that although I had left what I thought could be enough calories I may have gone over a bit! So today I am counting well and keeping my calories under the 1600 allowed to make up for yesterday. That's what I like about calorie counting plans - you can juggle a bit to ensure that overall the 1600 limit is retained.

It is getting easier to resist what I used to think of as 'goodies' - now they are 'baddies' I suppose - all the things that don't add any nutritional value to my health. Still there is nothing I am not allowed - just again learning that there are things I don't really want because the cause havoc with my size.....and I do really want to get slim again. No age excuses - I know many women at my age give up and just accept their increased weight and size but I am not happy with mine and need to get smaller to be happier - fact!

I am off out for a long walk soon - to the shops- but still a walk, and I hope that I feel a lot better about myself when I have been.
