welcome back Ditty

Well I’m glad it’s not just me @Brambling and @SIRENS
I’m blaming the weather. It’s so miserable here, blustery, rainy, cold. I feel so much better when I can get out but this weather makes it really unappealing. I don’t work Friday (or at least try not to) and hope to get out for a walk tomorrow which I’ll tell myself will balance out the Xmas chocs I’ve been having to cheer myself up. Onward, forward!Grocery Challenge

I couldn't log back in as Wicked Lady so can you add Black and Gold 2 to my name please? Thanks
Needless to say I haven't yet got going so have stayed the same as regarding weight loss.6 -
I dare not weigh this week as we had only just finished eating up Christmas food when it became eating up birthday food (and the birthday break from 'dry Jan' at the weekend), so I'm not off to the best start food-wise!
BUT I am super pleased with my exercise this week! I've walked to/from work twice, been to belly dance class (walked there and back), been to ballet class (walked there and back) and all of the walks were in the pouring rain. I am so sadly impressed I got out the door!!! I rather failed tonight though as I was planning to go for a run but I simply couldn't face getting soaked for the third night in a row, but generally, I'm so pleased I got myself out there for my dance classes again. They fell to the way-side last year, and they are so good for my physical and mental health- it feels like a good, positive start to the year.Jan Grocery Challenge 2023: £181.18/£400
