Had a good day today, but after last night it is just as well. Went to visit some friends, and despite all good intentions ended up having 3/4 bottle of wine and 2 glasses of brandy! Consequently, ate too many chocolates and crispy things, not to mention the bread and cheese ... but hey, no butter!!
I am starting to worry that I am not going to get to my target of 3 lbs though

I got off to a bad start this morning. Supposed to have gone to karate, but when I woke this morning I was still hurting sooo much, so I convinced myself that I ought to spend the time studying. So, all was going well - my husband brought me breakfast and a cup of tea before he went out, I got up, did a bit of study then ... had a biscuit. Not just any old plain one, but one covered in chocolate. Not too bad, though, I thought - had a couple of drinks (low calorie) - got back to studies, then ... a friend of mine called and invited us round to their house for "drinks and nibbles"! Aaaaggggh!!! How could I say no? Still, at least I will be getting a bit of exercise (we ususally ride bikes round there - it is all of 1/2 mile).
Then I had a flash of inspiration! If I invite them round to us to eat, then I am in control of what we eat, having dinner cuts down on drinking time and I can give them chocs and nuts etc. that I have left over from Christmas. Trouble is, I have phoned, texted, left messages, but no response. I think it is their way of telling me that they do not want to come (probably for same reason I don't want to go there).
Oh well ... life goes on, and I must learn this willpower stuff that everyone else seems to have in abundance!

I HURT!!!
I went to Karate class last night - despite being very very tired 
. It would have been soooo very easy to talk myself out of going, but I convinced myself that as it was first time back after Christmas break we would be given an easier time of it. Not so!!! And why is it that young kids seem to want to partner me? Is it because they think that they will not have to do so much with someone as old as me? The competitive streak in me means that I have to try and do better than them ... One day there will be someone there my age ... or older???
I MUST have lost weight this week - cannot wait to get on the scales

I am feeling quite smug about last night ... my brother and his girlfriend came for dinner armed with wine and chocolates!! But ... I resisted chocolates - just offered them to everyone else, and ... I got up this morning to find a bottle of wine that had been opened and not emptied!!!! That has got to be a first in our house! (I will have memory lapse about amount of wine I did drink, but it could have been worse.)
Another good thing that happened last night. My brother brought his new camera along, and with him snapping away at me, and me showing him my new laptop, I was horrified when I saw these huge pics of me that he had taken! I had no time to hold stomach in, pull clothes down, etc. so I really did look like a fat lump. Am going to keep those images in my mind next time I reach for biscuits, chocs, etc.
Tonight I am going to Karate class tonight - first time since end of November, so it is going to hurt like hell. That is 2nd New Year's Resolution - to go to Karate 2-3 times each week, unless I am away, on death bed or have broken bones.
Just one last thing before I go ... did I mention how much I was hoping to loose this week? I think 3 lbs might be reasonable ... wish me luck!

12st 9lbs!
Well, that's over with ... am staggered though - heaviest I have been in my life! This time last year I was a mere 11st 2lbs, so I have put on a whole 1.5 stone in a year! At just 5ft 2ins does that weight make me morbidly obese? No - I don't want to think about it. Still, off to a good start today - called in at Tesco on way to work and did not buy any "snacks", just bread and ham for lunch. Feeling confident ... but just remembered my brother and girlfriend are coming for dinner tonight ... darn, that means I will have to have at least a couple of drinks just to be sociable! Oh well, life must go on

New Year's Day:
Here goes ... along with thousands of others I have made the decision to make this year the year that I get ME back, that is, to unwrap me from all the excess flab that has accumulated around me over the years.
Although I do not expect anyone else to ever read this, by puting my details on here I can kid myself that I am being watched by others, so I am hoping it will make me keep on track !?!
So, a little bit about me to start with ... I am 51 (ouch! - hate seeing that written down) and very much overweight. Each year, I have got heavier and heavier ... it is so true that dieting does not work! Saying that, I have decided that I will leave the weighting until tomorrow - is that getting off to a bad start already? Oh, well - it can only get better
