It's been a looong time, but I'm back again!

Ok, so it's been more than a year, but we can forget that right? I'm back into the blogging!

It was a very big year for me. I was still in a wheelchair at the beginning of 2008, but I left it without walking aids. In fact, I've been aid free for over 7 months now. In that time I've been mostly maintaining my weight. I've been up a bit, down a bit, but I'm glad to say I haven't ballooned, so thats something at least!

Right now though, I'm struggling to get out of the random snacking habit that has crept back in again lately, so I've joined up at WW again. It also come down to simple maths really, I can spend a small fortune on a new wardrobe so that I'm not always feeling slightly uncomfortable in too tight clothing. Or I can just lose a couple of kilos. Makes sense really!

So I signed up last night, joined the unlimited program so I can't just go whenever I feel like it, as it has already been paid for, and moved chocolate off the bench and safely into the cupboard! I will admit to dressing very heavily and drinking 2L of water directly prior to weigh in though, as I wanted to make sure I did have 5 kilos to lose to get to goal, though I overcompensated a little I think! WOOPS! So My official rejoin weight is 73.5, however I'm only about 70. I'll dress normally next week. Plus I found out when I got there that you only have to lose 3 kilos now, I wish I'd known that before I went!

Well now that I've almost done my first weightloss post in over a year, I also want to add, that I'm going to be very relaxed about it this time. I still don't have great movment, and my physical recovery is of a higher importance than weightloss. However losing weight means less strain on my pelvis, so it's well worth it!

So if there is anyone still reading my old forgetten blog, HI!!
