So Christmas and New Year have been and gone. Most people would expect to ad weight over this period, but I have taken a bit of different approach and on Thursday I’ll see what results I got out of being good with food and exercise over the period. Mind you I needed to as I had let rip a little (ok a lot) since the end of November and added 6.2 kilos in the space of 4 weeks.

I know it was madness and I intended to keep it in check but the Christmas cheer and relief that I had lasted the 10 month challenge just meant I gave myself too much slack. That’s now been tightened up .. a lot.

My final weigh in of 2009 (21 December) put me at a total loss of 37 kilos (121 kilograms), down from the 30 November figure of 43 kilos lost (115 kilograms). So I set a target of 117 kilograms by 7 January, 2010 reversing some of the madness that I had carried on with pre Christmas.

I am hoping that I’ll be able to improve on that, but I’m not so sure if it is coming off as quickly as I had thought, we’ll have to wait and see.

I’ve been walking and heading to Bikram Yoga a lot (pretty much every second day) and eating relatively well, not perfectly but much, much better than the weeks leading upto Christmas. The other standard influence has been still working too many hours – my own fault but sort of unavoidable.

Here’s the update from pre Christmas, not particularly proud of it, but it is what it is – just a bump in the road.
