Feel like I'm off to a good start.
Joined the gym at the weekend and am planning my weekly visits in advance so that I don't reach the end of the week and realise I haven't been.

I haven't been left hungry and keeping to within 1600-1700 calories seems a realistic goal.

I've created a list of weekly aims so I can access what targets I'm hitting and where I can improve.
I already know that the hardest ones are going to be refusing food that's put in front of me and the dreaded booze! Avoidance is going to be the best policy (where possible) as far as these go for the time being I think.

I've got a busy week planned, with gym time and the Wii challange in the week and a weekend out and about with my family.

Enjoying the fact that I'm looking forward to exercise and activity.

I think I'll try and get a fitness class worked into my gym routine for next week to add a bit of variety and see what I enjoy.
