Back on track

I have been off the fitness waggon for some time now due to a number of different factors in my life. When I finished university I started my first and most stressful job. This did not make me feel like dieting or keeping fit at all. I am now in a great job as a one to one teaching assistant at a local school and much happier for it.

The next factor was losing my Rosemary Conley health and fitness club. When it finally packed in I stayed with my local group for awhile until that became a bit much. So for a while now I've been trying to go it on my own but not really getting very far. I made a book with a before photo and weight to get me started. Then I added pictures of my goal to go on a amazing holiday abroad and look fab in my sexy swim wear. I weighed myself each week at boats and tracked what I ate on a phone app called "My fitness pal." I lost motivation after awhile and found sweets and fast food were just too good. On my own I had no one to swap ideas with, no one to share their motivational stories with me and it was just too hard doing it on my own.

Next step I knew I needed to join a group I wouldn't be able to get the exercise like with Rosemary Conley but I would get the support. I started looking into the different ones debating which I should join when my Aunty said she wanted to join a new group too. She had heard the with Weight Watchers people lose the weight and keep it off more than with other weight loss groups.

Make that change... NOW

Too long I have been putting this off, feeling like I am past the point of no return. Waiting til Monday to start the diet again. NO MORE!!!
I am making a change and I am making it now!
I work in a school so last week was half term and its been quite a productive half term too. Been on some killer dog walks (didn't kill the dog just me), I have sorted out an exercise room that I am quite proud of and hope to get a lot of use out of. I've made my normal bike a exercise bike with a stand so I have no weather excuses for not using it. Got a stepper off my mum a while ago which I hope to use more like at all would be a good start. We are also hopping to get a treadmill which is not to be used instead of walking the dog of course. But until then there is plenty of space to dance around like a mad woman and lose weight that way.
