From Shamu to SLIMu

[ssausage]

Well, I've tried Slimming World a few times and it does seem to work for me, but I keep falling off the waggon! With 128 days until I go on holiday to Florida I've decided I have to knuckle down and stop eating so much rubbish. I've weighed myself this morning and am weighing in at 13 stone, and ideally would like to get down to 11 stone by January. Would be very happy with 11 and a half though.

Just been paid today so doing a food shop. Wrote a list of recipes for tea for the next week or so and am determined to stick to it. Going to do mainly extra easy days but will also throw in some red and green days too, depending on the recipes.

Officially starting tomorrow as I'm not sure what time I'm going to have finished all my shopping, but still going to try and not eat any rubbish today.

Really determined to stick to it this time. Remember being at this stage 6 months ago and Florida feeling like it was ages away and the time has just flown by so I have to stop messing around, aargghh!!!
