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 ;)

First month weight loss chart

When I put all the figures in, I was actually surprised howlittle ups there were through the course of my diet so far. It definitely felt like there were more regressions. Sometimes looking at the big picture can actually help your motivation aparently…
