After a few weeks of being off the wagon and basically eating everything and anything that I wanted, I am now back in that place where I feel ready to start a healthy diet plan, exercise and generally taking care of myself. I want to thank everyone of you that left me a comment on my last post. It really meant the world to me that you understand what I'm going through and that you continue to support me through the good times and bad! I feel that the last few weeks have been all bad, which is when I stop blogging. But I need to realise that blogging through the bad times will be good for me - even if some people hate blogs with people that moan all the time! I like to read about positivity and success also, but it also helps me to read some of your blogs where you are having a hard time too. We are all in this together!!
On that note, I have decided to go back to Weight Watchers. I have poured over all different diets, jumping from The Dukan Diet one minute, to Slimming World and every other diet out there!! The problem with most of the other diets out there is that it restricts one food group or another and that just sets me up for failure. I can go a few weeks on a diet, eating low-carb, and the BAM, I feel like I deserve a treat and before you know it, I've been on a month long binge with no end in sight!!
So, tomorrow, I'm joining a class not far from home. This time, I am going to a few classes and see what one I feel most comfortable in. I think that a good leader is key for Weight Watchers! You want someone who you want to make proud each week and someone that will motivate you to do better when you fall down.
Over the last few days, I have been getting in some activity - at long last! I went for a 9 mile cycle on Friday after work - it was a really nice afternoon, which has been very rare in Scotland this summer! I've also been walking about 5 miles every day with Molly, and just enjoying being out in the fresh air, whether it's raining or not! In fact, I quite like walking in the rain - it's generally quiet outside and I like that feeling of solitude sometimes! Here are a couple of photos from the past few days!

Can you spot Scooby???

| Not a place you would want to sunbathe! |
 |
| A nice secluded road - no traffic - I was worried I could get murdered here and no-one would find me!! lol |
 |
| Some pretty weeds!! |

| And last but not least....wee Molly!! Do you like her pink collar?? |
I have also been taking better care of myself the last week or so. I have treated myself to a month of spray tans and I went for my second one tonight. It's the
VersaSpa, and so easy and much less embarrassing than getting someone to do it for you! Yikes!
Tomorrow, I will post my official WW weigh in - and just use those weigh ins each week! Oh, and hopefully I will be able to post some "before" photos and measurements.
I am starting over, and feeling great about it!!!
Thank you all once again for your support - you are all awesome!!!!
