I'm aiming to lose a stone, in reality it should be 3 but think if I stress about the 3 it will backfire, so sticking to the one stone which will be hard enough!

This isnt a new year thing I've been trying for a few months now but the new year coming in gives me a little more incentive.

I'm one of those unfortunate people that piles it on just looking at cake (well eating as well yes) but you know what I mean! I am also turning 50 in 2017 and I'm going through the menopause which is a notorious time for waistband expansion and a downward slide in health.
I have my work cut out!

I need to stay low impact because of recent diagnosis of asthma, so am upping my walking style to fast and starting swimming, which I used to enjoy if only I can get over the horror of being seen in a costume.
I am hoping the weight loss and increased fitness may alter my diagnosis.

Although I have over indulged over Xmas (which I have allowed myself to do without guilt) I am aiming to have a food overhaul which includes more fruit and veg and less meat (which I dont eat a lot of anyway)
Wish me luck!
