This morning I am finally feeling much better and am raring to go. I got the best night's sleep I've had in weeks and feel so much better for it. I fell asleep at 10pm and woke at 9am so feel much more with it today. The last week or so I have been living on 4-5 hours sleep a night and I felt like crap.
I feel better still thanks to Paul at Fat4Now who left me a lovely comment in my previous post about not dwelling on staying the same. I have just looked at his blog and he has posted a picture from the start of his weight loss and a picture now at 32.5lb lighter and the difference is amazing. It has helped spur me on a lot.
We have made a decision to move back to England at the end of November which was the hardest decision we have ever had to make. I feel better about it now we have made the final decision and am actually looking forward to it. The kids are very excited and have packed their bags already lol. We think we have a buyer for our business here too which is great and they are not trying to get us to drop the price which is good. Dh is having another meeting with the buyer this afternoon when hopefully things will be finalised and I can book our flights.
We have loved living here but I think now is the right time for us to return to England (sunny Blackpool!!) We will be much better off financially for the next year or so at least which with everywhere being affected by the global credit crunch will make me much happier.
We went grocery shopping yesterday afternoon so I have no excuse not to put in a determined effort and lose weight this week.

Hi Emma, sorry it took me so long to answer your comment! I was avoiding my blog and it meant that comments go let go. Good luck with moving everything back! I live in Japan and know how much stuff I've acumulated in the last year and a bit, so I can only imagine what that's like for an entire family!
Good luck with your move and your diet. If you look at my before pics and pics taken 30 pounds later it is a huge difference. I had no idea 30 pounds would be such a diff! So hang in there. You have the right attitude this morning thats for sure! :)
Glad to hear you're getting back on track again. I stayed the same from May through August and am now losing again. Its a journey not a destination. There is no contest, there is no rush. Just keep on trying and never give up.
LOVE YOUR BLOG.... U go girl! Keep it up!
