Can I get back on track?

Well... I'm surprised this blog still exists. It's so long since I've posted that I thought it might have been deleted by now. Today is the day that I have started clawing my way back onto the wagon. I found the gym again and sweated it out for 45 mins. I wrote a post on the WW Kiwi community, and now I'm here. It's a start.
It's been a hellish year and I've done emotional eating like it's a new fashion. Dad died, Mum got bowel cancer (but is ok now after major surgery), my in-laws live in shaky Christchurch, a good friend/colleague died, and this week my best friend's daughter has finally given in to her deep-seated depression and taken her life at 23 years old. So food and wine has been my comfort! And yet, it didn't really feel good as I ate it. I think I just threw my hands up and thought "Why bother?"
So, the change starts here, today AGAIN!! Rather than dwell on the negative, I will be positive:
- I have gained back 10kg, but not all 30kg. I'm still 20kg less than when I started
- I have a very supportive loving husband. He cooked a yummy healthy curry for our dinner tonight.
- My daughters are amazing and very encouraging. I love them SO much
- I live in an apartment complex that has a pool and a small gym, so I have no excuse not to exercise
- I've just been on holiday and Greece for 2 weeks, and NZ for 3 weeks. I'm refreshed, relaxed and ready to go back to work - and I love my job!
- My sister and I have a new exercise pact - we must report into each other by text or email at least 3 times per week
So, I'm ready!! Let the weightloss begin....
Meanwhile, have a look at the photo of my fresh fruit juice in Greece,  with a little garnish on top:
