Back at It

Its been a long old time since I last posted, not a lot has been going on.  Lots of ideas in relation to baking, I just need to make them a reality which isn't easy.  I'm not interested in fancy cake and cupcakes, just good old fashioned cake, whether you want a whole one or just a slice. Anyway I shall keep on with the ideas and you never know...

So...this Saturday saw me retuning to Weight Watchers.  It had to be done.  I've done myself no favours over the years and have now got to a point where if I don't deal with this head on I'm going to dramatically shorten my life.  Quite a sobering thought.  The scales don't lie that's for sure and I wasn't at all surprised or horrified, I knew what was coming.  I felt rather shell shocked when I left, but at the same time glad that I went. 

My problem isn't my meals, it's what's consumed between them.  All the junk, takeaways etc.  I also have this rebellious side which comes out at work when certain people have to analyse what everyone is eating...off I go for an offensive lunch consisting of all things bad.  Ridiculous I know.  It just annoys the hell out of me.  Because of this any changes in my eating habits will be noticed, Guess I'll be eating elsewhere from now on.

I've looked at the plan and got my head around it.  There are however some things which aren't open for compromise
  • Roast dinner, I am not going to change the way I cook it.  It's one meal I really enjoy.
  • Butter. There's no substitute
  • Semi skimmed milk
I'm also not going to deprive myself of things, the plan allows for treats and so long as I track them and make allowances there is no reason why I can't.

Food can be an addiction like alcohol, drugs, smoking.  I get stressed or upset and I have something bad to eat...its as simple as that.  And like the others, it WILL kill you in the end.  I'm not going to dwell on it, I don't need to, I just need to focus on what needs to be done and not what's been done already.

Exercise, I need to exercise.  There's no way I'm putting on lycra at the moment so walking it is, shift a bit and then its back on the bike and in the pool.  It works for me so its a no brainer to be honest.

So I shall try and log my progress, time is always short.  May be weigh day would be a good day to blog.
