I am having mild panic attacks about how much weight I have put on...I know my weight went up a few kilos over the past few months what with relocating, travelling, death, surgeries, family woes and emotionally stressed, but since Christmas Eve I have put on about 3 kilos! WTF?
I am bloated and feel like crap. Okay, I was visiting friends in Melbourne, but I didn't think I over-indulged that much...but it just goes to show that eventually the laziness and lack of self control was going to bite me in the bum...HARD!
So after a year of mucking around, being lazy and losing all focus on what is important (ie this weight loss journey and getting to goal) I NEED to get back on track...it's not even a want anymore...its a necessity! I don't want to go back to that bad, dark place ever, ever again. So its time to buckle down for good and get back on track and focus on this 8 week challenge that I set myself and haven't done great on it. So much going on at the moment....but that is no excuse!
On saying all that, I did have a fantastic Christmas with my family. It was very low key, just being with my parents and grandma...as other family members were off visiting other sides family etc, but it was perfect. Mum still did a roast pork, turkey (roll), ham and roast vegies....it was devine...Santa was good to me (although I knew about eveything he was bringing me)....I was given the Wii Zumba game and looking forward to starting doing some dancing..............
but I have to still wait until I know about my knee.....its getting a little better, but every know and again I knock it and it gives me grief. I am having the MRI and seeing the surgeon this week and next week, so fingers crossed for good news...
I start a new job tomorrow. This is my first real, full time, responsbility job in 9 months....I am apprehensive, nervous and excited all in one....it will be nice to be earning some money again. I had to go and buy some office wear to fit me properly (as this will be more of a suit and professional affair) than what I was able to wear in Dubai. I have induction all day tomorrow. Wish me luck.
Happy New Year everyone...Hope 2012 is a wonderful year....

Have fun with the new job. And welcome to the "2011 Lost Year" club which basically is a whole bunch of us who are still the same weight as in 2010 or slightly above and who are now committing to get the job done to make 2012 our year to get rid of the rest of our pounds/kilos.
We can do it. Together. Keep blogging.
First off, you know you can do this. We know you can do this. This is a new year and you can regain the focus. We've all had times where we fall off the wagon, but knowing what we need to do to get back on is something we all possess. You are fabulous and we've missed you so much, so maybe your blogging will help you get back on the track you want to be on. We are all here for you!!!
Good luck :o) with the knee, the Zumba and the job today!!!
