First Step!

I've decided to record and share my thoughts on the net... hang on - I've been doing that for a while on facebook!
So...why am I starting a blog? There are a few reasons:
1. I like to write lots and there just isn't enough space on a facebook status!
2. I'm wanting to journal my weightloss journey (2nd time to give it a go) and I figure I'm much more likely to do it online than in a book, because I'm always on the computer.
3. I like to share what I'm up to - cooking, activities etc.
4. I have a lot of opinions and I like to rant.
5. I like to share interesting things I come across.
6. It will give me something to do - relax I guess

A little about me:
- I'm now in my late 20's.

- I started a weightloss journey about 3 years ago, and I got quite close to my destination before I rested on a plateau for a very long time, before going back the way I came. Now I'm almost back at the beginning and heading on a similar but different path to get to where I want to be.
- I am quite opinionated (on many diverse issues) and my views sit firmly to the left! 
- I love cooking (anything and everything) and trying new recipes out is a favourite game!


What I achieved today:
- Did the Big Balls Workout this morning (DVD)
- Walked to the gym, the shops and home again this afternoon.
- Personal Training session at the gym - now at about 4 sessions and he's starting to push me now that he's figured out where I'm at. Amazing what they can make you do in 30 mins!
-Tried a new recipe!

Today's new recipe - Labneh.
1 litre of yoghurt
Pinch of salt

Stir the salt into the yoghurt. Drain the yoghurt in a cloth over a deep bowl for about an hr. Pour off whey, continue draining process in the fridge for about 3 days. Voila - Labneh!

I'm hoping it works - have to wait a couple days to find out, but no reason why it shouldn't!
