Do you remember me? Well all I can say is there is more to moving to another country than meets the eye. Susan and I are always busy. I am currently looking for work (anything I can really) and Susan is basically holding the rest together.

Because I am not working I am struggling to keep to my routine and getting bored and then muching on the wrong things, but since last Monday (Aug 31st) I have been getting through my workouts and eating better. So I can feel myself getting back on to habit street.

I am going to resurrect my Daily Food Log in the hope that it will keep me more accountable to the stuff that I am shoveling into my trap.

Another cool thing that is spurring me on at the moment is that I have now for two weeks been helping my sister with working out, so I am kind of her personal trainer at the moment which is cool.

So this coming Sunday will be my first UK based weigh-in (for real this time!) and let’s hope I can start to come down again!!! Ok I am going to hop off and fill out today’s food log.
