Well, it's pretty much a year to the day since I started this blog, so I guess it's time to ask what I've achieved – and what I could have done better.
Let's start with the weight – at the very best this year, I hit 82.9 kilos, down 12 kilos on the start of the year. I've put on just under a kilo and a half over Christmas – I'm now up to 84.3 kilos, but that's not the end of the world.
I've dropped around a couple of dress sizes, from a large 18 to a standard 16. And I'm much, much fitter than I was a year ago, when I couldn't even run for the bus without getting out of puff, never mind contemplating five kilometres.
On the down side, though, I kind of lost the plot after a cracking start to the weight loss. The challenge for this year will be to pick up where I left off and drop at least another 10 kilos (preferably closer to 15) by this time next year. One article I read recently that really made me think was about portion control, and that's something I'm really going to work on in the coming weeks.
And I'll keep posting stuff to this blog – so keep an eye out for some interesting recipes in the coming weeks and months.

A recent survey showed that the three words most of us wanted to hear were not 'I love you'. 'You've lost weight' took the top slot instead...

What's my blog about?
As a wine and food writer, I've stared gastronomic temptation in the face almost every working day for the past six years – and, most of the time, I've given into it. As a result not only do I no longer fit into my regular clothes, my 'fat clothes' are becoming a tight squeeze too.
This year, though, I'm going to do something about it – and I'll be recording my triumphs and tribulations on this blog, along with recipes, exercise hints and tips on getting through a restaurant meal with your dietary resolutions intact.
My hope is that those of you who are trying to shed a few pounds – and would rather gnaw off your right arm than eat flavourless diet food – will find inspiration on this site.

Do the words Elmwood Road say something to you ?
No. Should it?

It less like being back in the same saddle so much as a saddle adjustment. It's always a good idea to write about what you know and what's closest to your heart. With the move to WA, it would seem that the wine industry there is now the new obvious regional topic to focus on.

Melatonin is always a multi function hormone that all of our do you feel already naturally means they are whereas in the small amounts. We have higher levels about melatonin for those times when a number of us are born.

By going to be the a short time a guy or gal reaches going to be the age having to do with 60 going to be the presence concerning melatonin almost disappears. Therefore,a period of time spent whilst in the in depth drop off decreases providing some one age because melatonin levels decrease allowing an individual age.
