Well, it's that fateful first weekend of the year - time to see how much damage Christmas did ! In my last weigh-in before Christmas, which was in fact at the end of November because I took a few weeks off weighing in, I was at 83.2kg. I never worry about what I eat over Christmas and New Year so I knew I'd put some weight on over the festive period. When I got home on the 1st January, I decided to jump on the scales, in the evening, fully clothed, without having a wee (in other words, making myself as heavy as possible !) and saw 86.6kg flash up on the screen - eek !
But this cunning move meant that next morning, when 85.7kg came up on the screen, I felt like it was good news, despite having put on 2.5kg ! After several days of eating lighter food (lots of soup and veggies) and cutting out the snacks and chocolates, I weighed in today at 84.5kg which is not bad at all taking Christmas into account. Although I have to log this week as a gain overall, I did manage to lose over a kilo which is good going and hopefully something I'll maintain.
Last year ended up being a total non-starter weightwise so this year, I'll learn from last year's mistakes. I weighed in at 79.4kg on my first weigh-in of 2013, although swapping over to new scales meant I had to add 1.8kg so that would be 81.2kg. That's still 3kg less than now though which is not good. I lost several kilos before going on holiday, then put loads on over August so that's what I need to watch this year.

Positives of the week
- After all that over-indulging and eating crisps, sweets, chocolates, cake and mince pies, I'm actually craving soup, fruit and salads !
- I'm back to feeling positive and am going to kick off the SlimPod again. My pedometer is my new best friend and I'm enjoying tracking my food on MyFitnessPal - it's a great way or seeing where your downfalls are.

I'm still on a dieting hiatus at the moment though I know I really need to get sorted but I think it'll be 2015 before I feel ready to diet.
