Week 4

So I've been on the diet 4 weeks. I'm doing ok. A couple of little slips but I've got back on it and kept focussed so I'm proud of myself. I've lost 1st 4lb (actually it was a bit more but time of the month weigh in is unhelpful!) and I've lost 3.5 inches off my waist - which shows. Feeling good about myself. More to go though. Term is racing away from us too. Not going to be long until the holidays. Can't wait to get away.It's been a tough term being back full time, taking on management stuff and still being mummy, but i've survived it. Looking forward to the opportunity to get back out in a kayak and enjoy some R&R with my wonderful family, without (hopefully) being a blobby lump in a wetsuit!

Fresh start

So here we are again. It's been rather a long while since I posted and things have changed. The beautiful daughter is nearly 2! Not quite sure where that time went. I am back at work full time and in a management role alongside my class teacher position. And I've decided to actually sort out my weight. Being in a stressful and busy job (junior school in special measures as English manager) I don't find time to eat properly let alone plan and prepare healthy food. With that in mind I have decided to attempt the Cambridge Weight loss Plan. I'm on day one today and feeling ok - have managed to take the girl to the park and cook her meals without giving in to temptation. So far the packs I have had have been ok taste wise which certainly helps. I also attended my first LARP event this past weekend. I loved my time there and can't wait to go back. Madam is not quite the right age for this yet but in a year's time I'm sure that will be very different. Plan for now is to update about my diet successes/failures/highs/lows, alongside my experiences as a full time working mummy. 9 weeks to holiday so I have a goal to focus on.
