New years rezzies!

So it is now 2006 and like most morons out there I have resigned myself to lose weight. I have some confidence in my ability as last time I had some stability in my life I was a svelte 175 lbs – down from 220lbs. Then I moved back to Canada underwent some serious change, dumped my routine and promptly gained 28.5lbs. Christmas of course is only good for one thing and that is pigging out – which I did.

Now that is all behind me and I am back to my old ways like never before. I decided if I was going to replicate my success I needed to replicate my environment. The stability part has been taken care of. I also purchased a couple of scales. One for us (weight, water content, body fat) and one for our food (weight, cals, fat, salt, protein, fibre, etc etc ). All stuff we had when we were in England.

My biggest hurdle as a road warrior is not stopping at A&W or whatever. To combat this phenomenon I buy Slim Fast Optima shakes and snack bars etc. I like them because they contain sugar as opposed to Aspartame and also taste great (generally speaking). So I was bored at the hotel tonight and started cruising slimfast.com .

Incredible. My boring old journal of old has now been replaced by an online meal log, meal planner, water log, etc. Everything is there including daily intake recommendations, recipes, etc. I can’t say enough about this website – ALL FREE! Complete with advertising of course but that is par for the course nowadays.

Anyway I’ll keep all of you posted on my successes and failures. On a side note I should also mention their vegetarian recipes kick some serious ass.
