Back in England

We got back to England last Thursday. Thanks to Paul at Fat4Now and Scale Junkie for giving me the poke I needed to get myself sorted out and back on track.

I haven't had access to scales for a couple of weeks but I will weigh myself at Boots the Chemist tomorrow and will start from scratch as I am certain I will have gained but have decided its time to stop beating myself up about it and to pick myself up and dust myself down and get back on the wagon.

I have had a taste of lots of things I have missed whilst living in Cyprus and now feel more able to get on with my healthy way of life. I have just looked up a weightwatchers class meeting and there is one in town tomorrow at 10am that will be perfect for me as I think at the moment I need the support of classes to help hold me accountable.

Its nice so far being back in England even if we have spent an absolute fortune already this last week. I had to have a new laptop on Monday as I hated not having much access to internet and dh had a new computer on Wednesday. We went to Toys R Us on Monday and got all the kids Christmas presents sorted in one swoop. We have also got them a Wii for Christmas and I am thinking of getting a Wii Fit for me. Has anyone used them at all and if so what do you think of them?

I know I have neglected this blog dreadfully this past few weeks but I promise to get back on track now with daily updates now - no excuses and get back to reading all my favourite blogs for inspiration.

I think part of my problem this last 3 weeks or so has been I stopped going on WeightWatchers Online and reading Weightloss blogs as I had so much to do getting the house cleared and it meant that the healthy eating fell completely by the wayside. When I wake up in the morning I will make every effort to get back on track and sort myself out.

I went to the doctor's on Tuesday too about a long standing medical problem and was told that losing weight will definitely help me and also dh has finally agreed that we can have another baby. I have only been trying to persuade him since our youngest was born 6 and a half years ago!!! I need to get down to at least 11.7 stone (160 lb) though before we try as I remember how much I struggled being pregnant with Ellie whilst being overweight. So I have an extra incentive to lose weight.

Tomorrow I will list all my reasons for wanting to lose weight and then I can refer to them as and when I need to.

Right its gone 3am and I really had better get some sleep as I have a busy day planning my menu for the week tomorrow. I will succeed.
