What to do when life gets in the way....

What a crazy couple of weeks!!!
 
We have moved house, I have a new job (new location at least) uni has finished and I have had news that my Nana has taken a turn for the worst... overall an emotionally charged time!!
 
The problem is... eating has gone out the window.  So much takeaway!!! in 2 weeks I put on 3.5kg!!! OMG!  However this week I have weighed in with a 700g loss, just by trying to be more aware of what I was eating... I was still eating some crap, but at least I was aware of it.
 
I also bought myself a Soup Simple which I am totally in love with!! I tend to make a lot of soups in winter, and this just makes my life so much easier!!! Now I don't need to blend in batches!! So far I have made my fave Curried Pumpkin Soup and today I had Potato and Leek Soup (and, for the record, the potatoes came from my garden!)
 
Might try to make the Roasted Capsicum and Tomato Soup in it next!!
 
I am really looking forward to getting my weightloss back on track, trying to stay positive about it... but I realised the other day that the weight I have gained over the last 2 years hasn't done anything for my mental health... turns out I have a lot of self loathing going on.
 
With uni done (kind of, I had to defer my exams so still a bit of studying to do) I am hoping to do some more exercise, and now with where we have moved to my fave national park is nearby, so I am hoping to get over there sometimes too :) Otherwise I am thinking of going back to the Wii until I can decide on a gym or not... but that's another post!
