Drinks:
2 coffees, 2 glasses of squash, 2 glasses of fruit juice, 1 glass of coke

Two pieces of toast

Leftover pizza

Exercise:
Ages spent playing with dogs and kids up the mountain, and then a 40 minute walk with Paddy up and down steep hills.

Do the onions and peppers on the pizzas I have eaten over the last couple of days count towards my five a day? Cos if not, I have been shockingly negligent... what about the squash? It's fruit flavoured...

Must go buy some fruit! And some chicken bits for a curry tonight. Mmmmm.

I actually told a big fib in my first post. I didn't put all the weight back on after the holiday, I was 16stone 1lb before the holiday slimming!

I have been steadily putting on weight since I left home at 18. I blame the vast increase in takeaways when I first moved out, and complacency once I met Paddy. I am comfortable, and it shows.

Don't get me wrong, I am not obsessed with how I look. I would just prefer to be more like I was five years ago. I could be a bit healthier.

Last year, I managed to lose some for our holiday, but it's all gone back on, and I have noticed my trousers (which are already bigger than I would like) are getting tight. Something must be done.

So, the plan is not to diet but to eat more sensibly, smaller portions, less snacking. More filling snacks. I don't eat a lot of chocolate, but I do eat a lot of crisps. Not any more. I'm going to do some more exercise, take the dogs out more often and walk more. I might (just might) start running when I'm feeling a bit fitter.

I will blog what I eat. Not weights etc, just general stuff. I will blog my daily exercise. I will blog my weight. That last one is the thing that will motivate me. If I tell the world (well, the small part of the world that looks at this blog) how heavy I am, then it might kick me into action.

Here goes! Wish me luck, and shout at me if I don't keep this up.
