Well I had a fantastic time in Amsterdam and for some reason while I was there I wasn’t hungry. I was the same in Barcelona but I put that down to the hot weather. Since I have been in Amsterdam and have got back, I’ve managed to lose half a stone. I must admit that I was hovering over the 16 stone mark which was really upsetting for me since that was approximately my weight watchers starting weight back in 2002! Anyway, things are looking up on the dieting front. I have had no cravings whatsoever for any crap. I’ve been eating relatively healthy, albeit probably not enough nutrition wise and today I joined the gym again. I’m not sure if I posted about moving, but I’ve just undertaken a 400 mile move to a new place and took the plunge this morning and had my first gym induction. My second is tomorrow morning at 8:30am

Today it was pretty simple. The instructor did my blood pressure, height and weight and showed me around a few of the machines. There is this really cool key system where you plug the key into all of the machines and it logs everything you do and tells you how many calories you’ve burnt. My sister burnt 421 calories today! I on the otherhand only burnt 60 because I didn’t use any of the machines in the induction. I’m really looking forward to starting my routine like I did last year when I lost 2 dress sizes in 8 weeks.

Next sunday I’m off to Cyprus for a week. I’m not that worried about going this time because the hotel has a gym and again it should be too hot to eat too much. Here’s hoping! I will have to force myself to eat plates of vegetables to get myself used to the ones I don’t like

So as you can tell things are pretty positive at the moment. I bought a size 18 top and skirt in next yesterday so ideally I would like to get down to a size 14 by the end of January… and I’m determined this time!
