Weighty Issue

My weight has gone up quite a bit in the last 2 weeks. I've gone from 78.8 kgs to 80.5kgs and it's not at all a surprise. There are very obvious reasons for it:

Snacking on biscuits and crackers.
Increase in alcoholic beverages.
Increase in carbs at meal times.
Decrease in physical activity.
Decrease in vegetable and fruit intake.

Like I say, it's obvious why my weight is increasing. Now it has to stop!

Some of this has to do with the fact that I'm working more hours and have less time and energy to dedicate to healthy eating and exercise. We are also heading into the Christmas festive period where we have more social events and excess is the norm.  That, however, is no excuse for letting go of my goal to maintain a healthy weight.

I'm starting off my morning with a vege/fruit smoothie and will have to go cold turkey on the snacks and alcohol. I've found its what is easiest for me. I should also increase the physical activity - yoga and walking would help.

Over the next week I will be dedicated to shifting the excess I have accumulated. Its not a large amount  but, that is the point.  I'm not prepared to let my weight get out of control.
