Getting my MOJO back.

So for the last 6 months I have felt like I was treading water and not really getting anywhere. My legs were getting tired and I was ready to give up. Someone must have thrown me a life jacket because I seem to have my MOJO BACK BABY! 

Actually no I bought some size 14 tops on the weekend without trying them on and when I got home and did try them on they were tight!!! I have noticed my clothes getting tighter but I was in denial. I have put on almost 5kg in the last few months. My lowest weight was 83kg.

I feel like my head is in the right place again and I am back to how I felt this time last year when I began this whole process. I am planning meals, exercising, setting goals, realistic goals with realistic time frames.

Weekly Menu Planner on the fridge
To Do List also on the fridge front and centre as a daily reminder
Using a smaller plate to control my portions

I feel like with school holidays and no real plans I have had the time to plan things out and get back on track. I have been menu planning and researching different things. I am going to do a  fortnightly menu plan and shop for that menu. I am hoping to stop those trips to the shops for a couple of things and $50 or $100 later you leave the shop. And more often then not it involves a 'little snack'. 

Here's to being more organised and back on track!!!!

    Hi Nikki! Happy 2014.
    Saw this on Jules Clancy's website - The Stone Soup and was thinking of you when I saw on FB how much you 'love' menu planning! Maybe do this for a couple of weeks to get some new recipes in your repertoire and then cancel the membership. Love Jules' books and recipes on her website. Its good for a bit of inspiration. http://thestonesoupshop.com/ss/ is the link for her menu planning service (currently $10 a month! And can cancel at any point) and http://thestonesoup.com/blog/recipe-index-2/ for her recipe index.
    Looking forward to hearing about your success in 2014!

      Hey Marnie,
      Thanks for the tip I will check it out. I have been pulling out the cookbooks and trying to get inspired to try new things again.

      Cheers

    You are doing so well Nikki! I have put on a couple of kilo's too and finding it hard - trying to get back on track. That's so awesome you are getting back on track and planning everything! Here's to a new year... Imagine what you will look like by the end of 2014?

    Ack! I just posted but it disappeared.

    I was saying that you are a woman driven! And I love it. There was other stuff but I can't remember what pearls I said now :-( Just know it would have been astoundingly brilliant! ha
