My New Year's resolution is to lose 10 kg in 2023.
How I plan to do it ( 1month at a time)-
January- no alcohol at all. Count calories every day.

Thanks, Llama & Liza (& Vic).
I just forgot about counting as the day went on yesterday, but had a good day. I actually lost a kilo over the couple of weeks up to & including Christmas day, so feel that's a good omen/start.
We opened a good bottle of Tasmanian red last night & I didn't enjoy it as much as the price tag warranted. I have done a grocery order online & have an array of diet soft drinks coming. I might wait until Sunday to log meticulously as I want the "streak" to match the new year.
I think I'll get out & garden today. Our brush cutter is not working & we think we'll have to buy another, stronger one. I would like one I can use, preferably battery operated, not petrol & with a blade option. I would like our paddocks slashed. G thinks I'm fussing over nothing.

Lovely! Yes nice to go in with that sort of beginning! Mine is the opposite...a kilo gained somewhere in there....
happy gardening Cate!

Thanks, Llama & Liza. I had a fairly long post typed, but didn't send it & somehow it went into a quote & I couldn't fix it & then I lost it altogether because I got a phone call, so I have got my laptop out instead. I really have trouble on my phone with the forum.
I shall start over....
The kilo lost was such a nice start. I know I have gained & lost & gained & lost, but instead of getting crabby with myself I will start over & be positive about it. I have to keep going & keep going until I get back within cooee of my happy weight.
G & I have done lots of gardening today as it has been cool & the brush cutter is working a treat. I have done lots of weeding. I have figured that it's too cool for snakes, but have kept my eyes open & am well covered. It's actually raining lightly at the moment & we are sitting outside sipping on a bubbly, listening to the birds. The garden looks lovely.
Oh, my. I haven't told you about the magnificent huge plant urn that R gave me(us
) for Christmas. It is wonderful & is sitting smack bang at the entrance of our house. It currently has a Callistemon (bottle brush) planted in it, but I may get a miniature lemon instead. It has 3 big elephant heads & I love, love, love it! R knows exactly what I love.

Picture of the plant urn, please! Rob's trick of taking a bigger pic and then cutting out only the part you want to show worked well for me.
Lots of gardening and a slight drizzle sounds like a lovely day to me: we're still so far off the amount of rain we need this year.

Yes no point in getting crabby with ourselves--just makes things worse I think!Sounds so nice especially after a big garden work day...i love sitting back after work days like that admiring the results of my labor
Sounds very cool!

Thanks, Llama, Liza & Em (& Tru & Vic )
I'm experimenting with compressing photos....
Another fail, another app deleted.
I'll try again later on today. I take photos on my iPhone & even when I crop them they are too large & photoshop apps have so many ads & I can't seem to get the hang of them. I need to change the settings on my phone I think.
