I’m Back

Oh how does it happen.  I was doing so well up to July (which was the challenge after all) and then things just slipped until I stepped on the scales the other day and I was definitely in the wrong half of 12.5 stone.  (Even I don’t dare admit that it might have been nearer 13)

I thought some of it was due to bloating, and to dodgy scales but there’s no getting round it, I can’t make the needle any lower that 12 stone 6lbs.

So I’ve had a week of eating fruit and veg – avoiding food that apparently contributes to bloating – and being  pretty good with the exercise: kayaking twice, aerobics once and lots of walking and cycling.

But it needs to continue.  So I’ve decided that, as she’s pretty much the same weight as me, I’m going to join DietGirl in her Going for Gold challenge.  Iwon’t necessarily make the same commitments she makes, I need to work for my body and lifestyle, but I hope as she loses I’ll lose, and I can use her to keep myself on track.  Now I’d better go tell her!
