My main aim is change my lifestyle rather than just lose weight - taking stock of things, my diet is appalling, and barely do any exercise. No wonder I feel so tired and sluggish and blah! I love to get to a weight at which I'm happy with how I look, but how I feel is even more important.
My goals are:
The first week of January has been crazy busy, and I've been commuting between 3 different places, so things haven't really got started! Now I'm still splitting my time between London and Essex but back in more of a pattern, so I can start in earnest to change my habits. I also need to buy a new pair of trainers for running in... tried an old pair and they gave me a massive blood blister on a pressure point because they don't fit properly.
