A fresh start

So for those of you following my posts (both of you) you'll remember it's been a few weeks of ups and downs.  Particularly down last week.  If it could go wrong, it did go wrong.  Even my chair broke on Sunday night, throwing me across my lounge.  Had to just laugh.  The diet hasn't been going so well, this much I hold my hands up to.  It's been down to stress mostly, lack of time quite a bit, and general apathy through negativity/pessimism about life in general.  

It's Easter Break at University now, and that means 3 weeks away from the place that's the source of most of my stress.  I do still have a huuuuuuuuuuuge assignment to do for my postgrad studies, but for some odd reason I've stopped worrying about that.  I've 90% made a new career path choice due to start in the Autumn, and to top it off I think I may even have found myself a new lady friend (I think they're referred to as "girlfriends", it's been a while).  After a horrific week or so, this week has everything starting to look shinier.

They say when you hit rock bottom, the only way is up, right?

I used to do my tracking Wednesday to Wednesday, and guess what, today is Wednesday! Once I get to the office it's going to be a new set of measurements, new photos and a new weight.  

I know my weight is going to be up, and I'm fairly sure my measurements are going to be up too.  This doesn't worry me if they are, as I know now I can beat them.  Going to speak to one of the trainers at the gym and get a proper workout routine tonight instead of deciding I know best.  The diet is going to be a slow-and-steady transition back into good food, mostly because the constant switching between good and bad lately has played merry hell with my digestive system (the phrase 'backed up' is very applicable here, so much so I'll be off to see my doc soon).

I know it'll be tough to get going again, but I've done it once, and know I can get back there.  Will update this post with measurements etc in an hour or so, once I get to work.

Onwards, and upwards! :)

Stats:


Weight: 18st 3lb (-3lb on previous weigh-in)
Chest: 44.5" (unchanged)
Stomach: 44" (-1.5")
Waist: 41.5" (unchanged)
Collar: 16.5" (-0.5")

Have to say I'm very surprised!  Was expecting my weight to be around the 18st7/8lb mark, and was definitely not expecting my measurements to be down/unchanged.  All in all, not bad at all.
