Have decided to start a new diary....
New year...2016... also will be the year in which November I will reach 50 !

There a lot of things I need to try and accomplish this year as well as reach target in weight loss, I am not getting any younger and feel this year is my last opportunity to try and change certain things in my life...
Weight loss history....
I have followed many diets over the years Slimming World being one that I seem to keep returning to!
I have also lost and gained the same 5st odd many times over too
Anyway , I re-joined Slimming World on Sept 13th 2014 weighing in at 15st 4.5 lbs (my previous heaviest that I saw on the scales years before was 16st 13, so at some point have most certainly been over 17st
-( some times it was a case of dare I look!)
I managed to get down to 10st 13 (4st 5.5lbs loss) on June 20th 2015
, but then had some weeks ''holidays' from weigh in and went off track and have been struggling and losing and gaining the same 28 odd lbs since!
At last weigh in with SW I was 12st 10.5 !
(27/12/15)
Didn't weigh in yesterday as had to go somewhere with hubby.
So, I have this coming week to make a difference on the scales for next weigh in!
My target weight I hope to reach this year is 10st 7 ish will see when I get there
So, my plan is to re-start afresh tomorrow.
I will be back to work tomorrow also , after just over a week off
My job is a HGV truck driver for a haulage company delivering and collecting pallets of goods locally/south coast for the Palletline network, which can be a long working day sometimes , I start work usually at 6.15 am and finish anywhen between 5 & gone 8pm, it can also be tiring and physically demanding at times, being that you have to unload and push and pull up to 1 tonne pallets of goods
along with climbing in and out of the truck and securing your load etc...
But my job is one I plan on changing this year if possible to something completely different!
Anyway!
Health wise , I plan to mainly follow the SW plan, along with calorie counting now and again using the 'my fitness pal' app.
I also have a Fitbit charge HR which I have had since April and am slightly addicted to it
...if it wasn't for that making me 'move' more I would probably have put on even more weight whilst I've been struggling these past months!
I also for Xmas got the Fitbit Aria smart scales, which are actually within half a pound of SW scales
Exercise wise I tend to do a lot of walking -sometimes mapped with the map my fitness app, and also bought a Bellicon rebounder (mini trampoline with bungees instead of springs) and sometimes workout on that -have a good you-tube channel with loads of rebounding workouts, also sometimes do Leslie Sansone walking DVD/youtube workouts and Kettlebells, along with some other stuff now and again.
But I need to make a plan and exercise more 'regularly'
I also need to 'study' will explain that one later
But all in all I have a lot to do and try and accomplish this year before my 50th, just have to try and plan it all out in an achievable way!
But one thing is, I am going to try and keep this new diary updated and track everything, if not daily but every 2 or 3 days
Will try and log my food (with or without pics), my exercise, and weigh ins , and any other general ramblings!
Another major thing!...I need to give up smoking
....not that it seems to have affected me doing exercise etc, but I will be a lot healthier without it.
So, it is going to be a challenge this year, but I am ready!
I will look in on other diaries when I can too , for inspiration and to help support, but I can't guarantee it will be regular, sometimes there are not enough hours in the day to do everything we need to
Tomorrow is D-Day, -fresh start!
I can do this !
