SorrySorry that I have been AWOL! January has been a hectic month for me with starting back at university and many other commitments and somewhere among it all I got sidetracked in my healthy lifestlye and I FEEL awful for it. I know I have put on a few pounsd because my clothes feel uncomfortable and my body certainly is noticing the lack of exercise. SO it's time to get back on track which and I've certainly picked a good time what with the new February goals being discussed. I've decided for me healthy lifestyle goals I am going to
1. Make healthy food choices at every meal
2. Exercise at least 3 times a week - NO EXCUSES. This can be a walk by the river, a run/jog, the bike at the gym, the crosstrainer or my yoga DVD
and I've also decided that's starting as of first thing tomorrow - being as it's almost time for bed here now :) My first day will be a challenge in itself because I'm going to be going out for a meal with friends - time to start trying to each my salad and cooked veggies again me thinks - and stock up my good old fruit bowl.
My other goal which is slightly away from eating/exercise is to visit all your guys blogs once a week minimum. some of you noticed my blog is on a bit of a break - that's jsut because I'm so busy with univeristy work and planning lessons etc so I shall just post here for the time being.

Testing.....Hmm I wonder if blogger will publish this post, it hasn't liked me the last three times I've tried to post something here......
Ah it seems to love me now. Anyway I have restocked my fridge and I'm rather pleased with the finished product if I do say so myself, you can find pics here
Tomorrow my parents and older brother are coming over for the evening meal. My brother likes his food so I'm making meaty chese burgers from the slimming magazine, they look really good, lets hope I can turn out something as nice. 5 months ago I couldn't cook. Then I moved out of home and I didn't get much choice. I think I'm getting better. I made a really nice stirfry tonight with some of the veggies I got in, even Matt seemed to enjoy it and ate all the veg. Result!

OuchWell I went to the gym - yey! My arms hurt - not so yey :D
Matt (my fiancee) helped me with my weight workout after I'd done my running/walking briskly bit and he sure pushes me to my limit. It's good for me and I feel great really ;)
I was all ready to take a picture of the inside of my fridge when my camera batteries died so now they are plugged in to charge over night and I will snap a picture first thing in the morning before I go out. I've got to say my fridge is pretty empty right now but what is in there is pretty good stuff - or so I think anyway lol.
Hope you have all had a good day - I think most of you are behind me time wise but it's evening here so I'm off to watch some of The OC DVD's that I got for christmas,
Sleep well everyone and can't wait to see the fridges :D

Hi everyone,
I'm Debbie, I'm 20 (21 soon ;) ) and I live in the UK. I'm currently a student at the University of Worcester where I'm training to be a primary school teacher. I moved in with my fiancee in August and since then my weightloss efforts have stalled somewhat. Prior to the I had lost over 4stone going from 18st to 13st 7lbs - now I am bouncing around between 13st 3 and 13st 7 - except I hit 13st 13 on News Years Day - and there was the point I decided to get serious about losing the last of this weight.
When I first started losing weight even a 15 minute walk was enough exercise for me. Now my fitness level has really increased and I'm taking it to the next level :) This New Year see's me starting to run - I would like to take part in the Race for Life 5km that takes place all over England in order to raise money for Breast Cancer research and I would like to run the whole way. I don't have a time limit in mind, I just want to run it.
My main goal for January is to lose 6lbs and get back to 13st 7lbs
My other goal is to run 3 days a week
I look forward to getting to know everyone :)
