Have totally gone to pot last few weeks. Lots of crappy food and too much alcohol! Back to 5 alcohol free days and a diet combination of calorie counting /slimming world meals. Back to the gym 3x per week and maybe a long walk at weekend too (keep me out of the shops!) I spend more money when I'm fed up...comfort eater and comfort spender!!! Not good. Gonna really it a proper go this time!!!!

    I am with you!! I was doing well, but the last 2 weeks completely fell off the wagon. Stopped tracking, eating cookies like I was never going to be able to eat them (which is very unlike me!) and haven't been consistent with exercise. Well, now the beginning of Sept and I need to get back on track! My goal is to lose 15-20 lbs by April. I am getting married in Punta Cana in May and I want to look fantastic.

    So, in order to reach this goal I am going to commit to:
    Journaling my food (all of it!)
    Exercise 4x a week
    Weigh myself once a week
    Stop snacking
    Do meal planning

    OK...we can do this!!
