It's now been 21 weeks since starting my new healthy lifestyle. I decided that each Sunday I will post up my progress, whether successful or not in the hope that it encourages me to stay positive and keep going. Knowing that I will be sharing it all here will hopefully keep my willpower up! In order for me to keep track and look back for ideas, I will be listing my food diary here as well (and who knows, it might inspire others to have a go too!) It also gives me somewhere to put all the photos of the yummy food I love to take as it always looks so good!
This week I have finally gotten back on track, well on Wednesday. Monday I started walking again but got grumpy and fed up when super soggy walking in the rain so took the car in the afternoon - grumpiness made worse by ALL the people in the world going on about the sunshine and how lovely and hot it was, grrr. Anyway, it did brighten up up here on Wed (briefly) and I have started swimming again and stocked up on fruit & veg again! Fingers crossed I keep it up!

Weight last week - 12 st 4 1/2 lbs
Weight this week - 12 st 5 1/2 lbs
Loss/Gain this week - + 1lb
Total Loss - -12 1/2 lbs
I'm hoping to get back below 1 stone loss - aiming for another 6 lbs or so by 6 months so in the next 5 weeks as I've been hovering at around this weight for a while now.
