In Which I Begin My Journey to Lighter Life.

Ooo-er. My first post!


I feel I must warn you that it's going to be a bit eclectic, is this here blog. As well as logging down my personal weight loss journey via the Lighter Life programme, then it will be my place to share photographs, thoughts, feelings, ideas, my love of anything pagan, recipes, cooking, reading, music, crafting, nature, appreciation of the great British Countryside and, I must additionally warn you, there is very likely to be occasional reference to..... **looks around** "Take That".

So there.


So, here I am then - four short days until my abstinence programme begins. It's a very odd feeling I'm having right now. I'm not apprehensive - actually I'm really looking forward to starting and feel a little 'in limbo' - I just want to start the plan. Usually with a diet d-day looming so closely, I'd have been eating my way around the fridge and would already have had several "last suppers!".

Unusually I've been looking at food today rather indifferently which is very unlike me. That, however, hasn't stopped me from eating a full English grill this morning for brunch, several mugs of tea and, more recently, a rather disgusterous choccie fairy cake made from a packet which was going cheap (no not literally, *sigh*) in a discount supermarket. It's content professes to be 'gluten and wheat free' however in that gluten and wheat removal process they also appear to have extracted any flavour at the same time.

But I digress.

There are 16 weeks until Christmas apparently and oddly enough - 16 weeks of the initial plan too.

It's a sign I tell you!!
