This photo was taken by my favourite aunt who lives in York. Isn't it beautiful? Very inspirational.

I have lost three pounds ( of mince pies) on my diet so far. I started on Saturday and this is day four. I feel much better already but I think this is pyschological. In control and focussed again after the festive splurge.
I have two days away in Birmingham now, and won't have a lot of time to think about food or indulging and then I will have nearly done a week.
The difficult days are nearly over ( when the body realises there aren't any carbs around...) and its all results from here now.
The snow is thawing rapidly, and getting about is easier at the moment.
Onwards and upwards .........
