Here I am again

Ok, so new year blah blah blah.....I know everyone says the same things year after year. I am exactly the same and have been saying the same things over and over again for the 10 - yes 10 years that I've been dieting, or rather pretending to be dieting. In my defence there were 3 pregnancies in there !

Anyway last year kind of fell apart after my last entry. First thing was that I got a new job, a very important new job actually. I am now right at the top of my career - all very scary and very new. Even though I've been doing the job for a few years now, there is a whole new side that I've had to learn. It's been exciting, scary, fun and overwhelming all at once.

Secondly we sold our house after it had been on the market for 14 months 2 weeks before I started this new job. Luckily it all went through fairly smoothly and we moved mid-August into a lovely new home.

Shortly after that my youngest started school which I found harder than he did ! Then, within 6 weeks of each other we lost both my father and my father in law.

As I am sure you can imagine in all that dieting was the last thing on my mind and so I have gained weight. Not as much as I had feared but still more than I would like.

So, after the huge highs and crashing lows of last year I am hoping this year is a little more settled. I also feel now that I'm done having babies, my career is sorted and I have a lovely home where I am very happy - it's time to focus on me.

I am back on weight watchers from tomorrow. Tonight I have eaten cheese and the last of the HUGE box of chocolates my Mum bought us for Christmas. I have planned, pointed and planned some more and my lovely husband is on board too.

Hold on for the ride....
