Hard.

I'm finding dieting hard at the moment, It's that time of year, and also the weather. I won't go mad with the food, as I don't want to spoil what I have done already.

The snow is pretty bad here, but yesterday I managed to drive to work, I had to park a few roads away but that's fine. When I was driving home last night it started snowing again. So I decided to go do the Xmas food shopping that we were going to do at 6am this morning. I rang my dad and my daughter got here (and is here till after xmas YEY) and my partner all went to sainsburys.

I expected it to be packed, but was pleasantly surprised that it was nice and quiet. Also their shelves were full. I spent £325 OMFG!!! Ok I did buy a few more xmas prezzies. I needed a new kettle too.

But I'm not bothered too much about the weather now I am ready for Xmas.

Today is my only day off till after Xmas now.

Update

It's been a while since I have updated here.

I am still a non smoker :-) and I have lost 32lbs in weight, thats 2st 4lbs. I have been well and truley in the zone. Its great feeling my clothes get baggier, and feeling a whole lot healthier.

A week today and it'll be Xmas day, I love Xmas, though I have to work the morning of Xmas day. But I don't mind.

We're all snowed in at the moment, I didnt have to go to work today, or tomorrow. But I fully expected my boss to tell me to walk the 3 miles to work lol.

I am going to try and keep up with my posts.

It's been over a year since I last posted

Its been over a year since I posted here, and like the last time I am trying to lose weight again.

I was 50 in June and though I don't feel it at all, I know I have to do something about my weight and smoking. As I want to live longer and healthier.

On the 19th of this month -July- I gave up smoking ..yet again, this time it will be for good. The day before I gave up, I was sat in the garden having a smoke, and I heard the woman next door in her bathroom, coughing and hacking stuff up, it sounded bloody disgusting, she is 70 and smokes, that made my mind up.. the next day I bought patches and gave up.

This week I joined Weight Watchers, I have tried diets for 20 years, so why should this be different, well when I gave up smoking before I ate more...or when I dieted I smoked more, it was a vicious circle. So this time I'm doing them both together...its the only way.

I'm not sure anyone will read this, but I am writing it down for me, get all the feelings down and not keep them inside.

But if anyone does read this, it would be nice just to let me know :-)
