    Been a bad week, wedding and a weekend away, then hangover food and chocolate. Might take a wee bit to get back on the straight and narrow.

    I know that exercise is part of losing weight, I also know that diet is a part of losing weight, I hear you saying "No *kitten* Sherlock". I have to admit though it is a catch 22 for many, me included. I am reasonably active in both my work and social life, probably not as active as I like to think though. What I do know however, is that dieting or as much what most folk believe to be traditional dieting doesn't work for me. I have realised that I am more of a choices person. At my work (I work away from home) my breakfast, lunch and dinner are all made and ready for me to choose what I want and then sit and enjoy, this is where the choices have come in. Rather than a fry up I have started on toast and egg or a cereal, then if I need something a piece of fruit, normally some grapes, melon or pineapple, I have on most days still been having a bacon or sausage roll at break(small French Bread roll). Lunch normally has a choice of two classic, one veggie and one fish meal, dinner the same. Their is always soup and multiple desserts, hot/cold and ice-cream and custard are also available.

    My choices now see me taking about half of the plate in veg, a little pasta or potato and some meat or stew, often not bothering with the pasta or potato for at least one of the meals....these plates are full though, I'm not eating little amounts of rabbit food, I'm just choosing the healthiest of what is available, bearing in mind I don't eat fish. If turkey or chicken curry is on, I'll have the turkey. You get the drift. What I am also doing though is having a wee treat at least every other day and I don't mean just one square of chocolate. Again though I do aim to have the least calorie busting goody possible, even if it's only 20 cals of difference, it's still 20 cals.

    I am also noting everything down on MFP even the bad things, if I go over, I go over. The main thing is I'm being honest with my self. With this I am going in the right direction, here's hoping it continues.

    Good luck to everyone.

    Well that's the holidays over for another year, I suppose only having to work one week in eight is not too bad, it's a rota I could get used too. The holidays started in the middle of September and since then I have been to Toronto, Niagara and New York. This was followed by a few days fishing in the North of Scotland the my one week back at work.

    I the had the next four weeks off work, over the last four weeks however I have stopped logging what I was eating, fortunately I only put on 1lb since my last weigh in on the 10/10/17(updated on here on the 11/10/17). I have noticed a difference in my eating habits, especially over the last two weeks. So now that I am back at work I am back on the focus that will ultimately allow me to hit my goals.

    Current Stats:-
    Starting 239
    Previous 216lb 11/10/17
    Current 217lb 09/11/17
    Goal 180lb

    Gained 1lb, to be honest this is a good result.
