Did you stick to them?

  A few weeks back I was thinking about my long forgotten new years resolution. The one about losing weight. You can read it here if you want. New months resolution? What was I thinking!! Anyway... It all started out really well back in January, and even February wasn't so bad...for a few days. Now it's mid August and I can definitely tell you I did not stick to it at all. nope. I gained two pounds instead since then! Time for a change I think.   Luckily there are these two great girls who've decided to do a weekly link up, to motivate, inspire and get fit. Raven and Kristen, I can't thank you enough!  

  So I am ready to lose those two pounds, Oh yessss, followed by a whole lot more!   My starting weight is: 78.5 kg = 173 pounds EEEEEEKKK!   So this week I am planning to get a whole lot more active. Hello treadmill, remember me? I'll also we watching what I eat and track my food intake / calories and I'll definitely be eating a lot of these  

  I made this salad earlier this week and was surprised with how well the fruit and veg go together. This salad had lettuce, one tomato, cucumber, tinned mandarins, blueberries and black berries. It was so YUMMY I made another the next day.  

  This salad contains lettuce, red pepper, avocado, mandarins, black berries, blueberries, croutons and king prawns. Soooooo good!   So here we go (again) I'm hoping I will feel as optimistic as I do now this time next week. (And a few pound lighter!)
