since moving back to london and moving in with boo i have managed to gain a scary 2 and a half stone. after crisis point last week i finally decided rather than the odd half-hearted attempt at weight loss it was time to go back onto the slimming world diet. i've done this before and lost a stone and a half in about 6 months. but i did that with my mum and for part of the time with my sis too. lots of support, recipe sharing and turn-taking for cooking. we all went to class together too. it was hard work, believe me, but easier and doable for the support.
this time i'll be on my own. boo is willing to join in but he doesn't have the motivation for himself (as he doesn't need to lose any weight) so the temptation is harder to resist. and if i came home exhausted and the only food in the house would need time and effort to cook etc. i think he would cave in and phone out for pizza. or if i asked for wine he would just say yes. i'm not criticising him here, i'm just trying to face up to how this time losing weight is going to be harder and i will need lots of willpower.
so on tuesday this week i started my diet, after spending monday planning and shopping for the week. and, also on tuesday, i joined the gym down the road. this is also with boo on board. we had talked about it, and about going walking or maybe even buying bikes to get some exercise at the weekend. boo offered to pay for our membership and he will come with me. so there's a problem with the induction and we can't start full training prgrams until next week but hopefully i'll be able to start yoga classes next tuesday.
