I am once again staring into the mirror and not sure who the person is staring back at me. It is particularly frustrating because I really don’t over-eat. I don’t have bags of cookies or sweets in the food pantry. I just make really bad food choices. For example, instead of a nice salad, I’ll want to have a burger with fries. I know this is just another excuse of sort, but its true and I’m feeling somewhat frustrated as I would really like to get rid of weight I’ve gained since moving to London. I was actually doing quiet well until April when I came down with acute-bronchitis. That put me out of commission from the gym for over a month. And it’s been hard to get back into the routine. I am taking regular Nordic walks throughout my local parks, but it’s clearly not enough. That said, I’m going to try and not beat myself up too much. I am a work in progress. However, with only four months to go before I’m on a beach in Montserrat, something must be done. And no, that does not mean another crazy diet. I’m sick of diets. I’m just going to start keeping a food journal so I can be more aware of what I’m putting into my body each day.
