New beginnings

Oh my, what a year it has been!

My last post was about  getting back on the diet and being strict and so on. Well it didn’t work out. Maybe if I chained my mom to my kitchen table and have her cook my meals all the time things would have turned out differently ;) Unfortunately she went home, which being abroad meant bye, bye home cooking.

The new job has been a mixed blessing. A career changer and a personal experience in some ways worth the dietary and health issues. On the other hand my weight crept back to just under what I had when I started the diet. Hey, could be worse…

But the good news is after plenty of ups and downs at work I’m now working from home 3 days a week. Yeah – I can get back to home cooked meals, which has been my main problem. I neither had the time to cook them nor much of an option to carry the rare stuff I did cook with me. 2 days should be easier to prepare for in advance :)

So with this new found energy, expect some new recipes and a better looking progress update! I promise ;)

No matter how muc you know about the diet. Doesn’t matter that you know it works, getting back after a break was really hard. Adhering to the schedule and denying yourself the little treats. However updates are coming and I’m behaving well again.
