First kilo of the year

Yippee! I weighed myself this morning and seem to have lost my first kilo of the year. I’ve been meaning to start working on my diet since Xmas, but my weight change was going the wrong way and I had to change that first. I hope this kilos just isn’t water loss, but it’s a…

Week 2 of this diet

photo credit: avlxyz Well, this week hasn’t been too bad, but I don’t think I’ve managed to lose any weight. My social life has just been a bit too hectic and I’ve been eating out lots (including a trip to the Chinese last night). I knew I’d be having a big meal, so I skipped…

Qagħaq ta
