I have survived my first week and I can honestly say it was sooooo not difficult. It was actually easier than I thought! Tracking again was like finding a long lost teddy bear that you used to love and holding it tight, I couldn't believe how much I had missed doing it. I've also missed walking and can honestly say that it has been good the few times I have gone, but there is definitely something to be said when you have a walking partner.
My walking partner is currently an invalid and can't walk so it has meant that I haven't wanted to leave the house in case he needs something. I know I could go on my own but I feel a little creeped out going by myself in the evening. I used to be at home a lot and walked early morning but at a reasonable hour. I can't really do that now unless I do it in my lunch break and there isn't enough time. I figured I would get up early on Saturday and go for a big, long walk to compensate for not walking during the week.
I've also reconnected with two summer fruits that I adore, strawberries and grapes. I had forgotten how good they could taste on a hot summer's day and have certainly been good at work when I needed something to snack on but don't want to go near the dreaded charity chip box. It is nasty with a capital N.
I'm looking forward to conquering the next week and seeing the results. This first week has been wonderful and I lost my first kilo which I am very proud of. My pants are definitely looser around the legs and I'm loving it. Can't wait to get back to the old me where my pants were super comfy and super baggy. The end is in my sights, even if I do have another 8 kilograms to lose.
One thing I am definitely looking forward to is our Melbourne trip in April on the Easter long weekend. I have actually set myself the goal of being at my goal weight by then, hopefully I will have done that and maybe a little bit more if all goes well. Either way, I want to sashay through the Crown Casino looking ultra sexy, now wouldn't that be nice? ;) I'm sure every woman likes to feel like that and have attention poured on them, it is what makes us feel confident. That confidence almost took a landslide into nowheresville recently but things are looking up!
Until next time,

Well done Sonya - there's something about a New Year to bring on great motivation. You're doing really well, have to admit i love tracking too, especially with eTools.
