End of the 1st Quarter

Dear all, this is the last post for about 2weeks or so as I am going on holiday! I'm really looking forward to it, it will be so nice to actually get some sunshine rather than all the grey we have over in England at the moment! 

The main thing I want to achieve while I am away is really have a break from wine...one of my bessies came over last night and we had a great meal, we had Mussels and sweet potato and butternut squash (instead of chips), salad and french bread followed by a WW dessert, it was all really healthy and I did have some of the bread but only a few bits to soak up the sauce from the mussels. In total it was only 414 cals BUT we then had just under 3 bottles of wine...and that racked up over 650 calories alone.  When I completed my entry on My Fitness Pal with the wine it said I would be the same weight that I am at now in 5 weeks, I took off the wine and completed my entry I would have lost 6lbs...it just goes to show that that wine is really hugely calorific, has no goodness to give your body and is really a bit of  a waste. I know I have spoken about it alot and never seem to be able to achieve it but it really is something I would like to cut out... it's very much a habit with me and lifestyle and it will be hard to break but I know the benefits will really outweigh (ha) the fact of drinking wine... like anything with me...if I don't have it I don't want it, it's having the "just one glass" that I have a problem with! 

Anyway, really looking forward to coming back from holiday and putting quite alot of plans into action. The last few months have been tough and I haven't really had my head in the game enough to lose weight, but I have turned my wardrobe around, not put on weight and have been able to really focus on where I am going wrong. For me I am seeing this holiday as the end of the 1st quarter of the year and although that doesn't mean that I am going to not work hard from now it does mean that when I am home I am going to be really ready to take the control back and lose those last 14lbs to get me to my 1st mini goal of 13 stone. 

Have a fantastic couple of weeks peeps and look forward to catching up when I am back!
