On the move!

I've moved!! My blog that is... to WordPress. I thought I was being really clever and posted a new entry to the blog on WordPress to inform you that I've moved. Of course it would be much more useful to let you know here that I've moved!!!! Doh!
Thanks to some advice from Roni however your subscription (if you subscribe!) to my blog should have automatically changed to the new blog address. You might even have noticed some of my past posts reappearing because of this.

If you're not getting the new blog then this is the address you need from now on - (http://madaroundfood.wordpress.com/) - as I will be posting only to the WordPress blog from here on. Also like so much in my life it’s a work in progress so be patient with me

Weekly weigh-in

Very quick update as I need sleep badly. I'm down 1.8lbs and very happy with that. I went a bit nuts with my eating today and I can feel the "lets continue eating crap seen as I've already started" voices in my head getting stronger. I'm going to fight them though. No point losing almost 2 lbs and then just regaining it the next week right!!!

HYC shout out and mid week update

I'm stunned and delighted with all the comments I've received since joining the HYC Challenge and I thought it would be easier to reply in a post!! So to aimtoannoy, erinstartsliving, Mary, Lisa and Felicia thank you, thank you, thank you for all your recent comments! I hope to get around to your blogs at some point but as you found from my last entry time management and myself aren't the best of friends!! Thanks too of course to all my other commenter's as well. (there aren't many but I don't want anyone to feel left out or unappreciated!!!).

I've been meaning to join the HYC Challenge for so long but as with many things I just never got around to it. It seems like a great idea to be a part of something specific in this vast internetland so I'm looking forward to doing my best to be a supportive member and of course to become a healthier me!

As for my recent goals... I surprised myself by meeting and exceeding my trainers weight loss goals for last week. He was delighted as was I !! Here's hoping I can pull off the same feat for next week. So far the week has been pretty good for me as far as food goes. Slight chocolate indulgence today but hey it happens. :)
Thinking ahead and being organised when it comes to my lunches and dinners has naturally helped hugely both with food choices and stress levels. I've missed out on some planned workouts however because of.... well life... but I hope to make up for them later in the week and if I don't that's ok too.

My 15 mins to myself each night started out really well.... um... for one day. As I said life just got in the way yesterday so I didn't have the time (how sad) and today's not looking good either but I will still try.

Overall I'm feeling very much back on track and in control but I know only two well how that can change VERY quickly. I know, I know... think positive! We've a friend out for dinner and drinks tonight though so I need to try to do that as healthily as possible without being a killjoy of course :) Wish me luck!!!!

Just to finish off here's a quote I read recently that struck a chord with me as I occasionally find myself thinking back to my younger days when I thought I was huge but in reality was so much thinner that I ever will be again! (That's not being negative though just realistic).

If you're still hanging onto a dead dream of yesterday, laying flowers on its grave by the hour, you cannot be planting the seeds for a new dream to grow today ~ Joyce Chapman
