Beginnings...

After Months of looking at healthy food and walking by the gym, a week ago today I decided I should start doing something about my weight.

To be entirely honest I am not massively overweight,  maybe at most I want to lose a stone or two, that doesn't really matter though cause I am aware of how I feel in my own body and even that small amount of weight will make a difference to me.

There are a few reasons why I want to try and lose some weight, one being that I would like to feel a little better in my own body but also cause I am crazy about snowboarding and I would love to be able to keep up with my boy mates when I go next!

Ok, I started about a week ago, so I best tell you how it is going so far...

Salad, salad, salad, that pretty much sums it up. Apart from last night when I feel victim to half a bottle of pinot, sourdough bread and olive oil with my boyfriend, slightly naughty and I dread to think about the calories.

One problem that I can identify so far is that I am constantly examining myself as though I imagine the weight to just melt away, don't think it is going to happen though.... unfortunately.

Exercising hasn't been so successful, I have just finished university and I started my new job about a month ago. It's fair to say that getting up at 7 am was not something I made a habit of at uni so I have found it a little tiring.

I did have the best intentions to go to the gym at the beginning of the week but it didn't really happen. However, this morning I made it to the local swimming pool, I loved it even though I almost slipped on my ass walking to the pool on my own, slightly embarrassing. I am definitely going to make a habit of going!

Anyway, thats how it is going so far, still got a while to go though just got to keep the will power up!

If you want to let me know how long you have been dieting/how it is going for you, feel free to leave a comment, might give others in the same situation a comparison and a bit of a boost!

Welcome...

Hi to anybody and everybody that is viewing,

I have just finished university, whilst there it is fair to say that I put on a few pounds.
Now that I have completed my course and found myself a full time job, I figured in my spare time I could put my writing skills to good use by documenting the highs and lows that I experience over the next few months and beyond in my very own diet diary.

I guess it could be an ideal place for those of you who are also trying to shift that extra weight to compare notes on how it is all going!

I guess all I can say is good luck and happy healthy eating!
