2013 - and Jan is almost over! Me and resolutions never got along - so here I am posting , once again kicking off ye ole blog. Blogger has changed in the last 2 years - I'm a little lost but hoping to catch up soon both on Blogger and moving my ass in 2013.

so its almost the end of the first day of my life :)

and what did i eat/exercise today?

eating - sporadic - spent most of the day in the bathroom..IBS i suspect. so it was down for comfort foods, except for the 1 hour where i faced a buffet and thought i was fine to eat anything!

brunch - Half of a 2 egg omelet, 3 small pork sausages, 1 grilled tomato, few grilled mushrooms, 1,1/2 slices of brown bread toast, 1/2 glass of orange juice/iced tea.

snack - 3 crackers, 1 piece of chicken breast

dinner - 3 boiled potatoes mashed, with a bit of salt.

thats it so far. trying to hold out for the day - will get some crackers if im still hungry later on.

no exercise - didnt feel up to it in the evening thanks to my loo episodes.

tomorrow - im off to the gym! theres a kickboxing session - still wondering if i should brave that out, or go to the treadmill. lets see how it goes :D wish me luck in waking up early.

Hello 2011

so im back. after almost a 2 yr hiatus and a gain of around 10 kgs. oh well, time to get back on the wagon. the last 2 years were fun in terms of eating and drinking - i think i ate almost everything, i never restricted myself and didnt think too much about exercising. visits to the gym were sporadic - i spent 3 months in brum which triggered my McD binges, tesco binges - u name it! anyhoo, back to the present. i really wanted to start a week before New Years - i didnt want it to be a new years resolution coz i usually fail at those. but then i realized its all in the head. i know, coz ive done this before, the whole getting in shape thing, so its not like i cant do it. i just have to apply myself. and there are 2 main reasons why i need to do it.

• acid reflux - for the last few weeks i find myself feeling nauseous and getting a bit of throwup in my throat - its starting to scare me, im only 31 and i certainly dont want to start having to take medication this young. i know obesity is a main reason for this - so i definitely have to start cutting down on my intake.
• cousins wedding - my cousin is getting married in august 2011, and i really want to look good for the wedding. i know how great i felt and looked at my wedding in 2007 and really want to feel the same way - not to worry how i'll look in photos, or what the rest of my family thinks of me.

so here's looking at 2011 - im off to the salon in a few mins, looking pretty always helps :) will do a walk tonight and off to the gym tomorrow. will do a short post soon on what im going to do exactly in the next few months.

im baack!
