Default Re-start of sorts

Hi all! [Again]

I started again] back in June time, stuck at it, but life got in the way - when my Grandmother moved in, I got ill, and things, it all went out of control and I started to lose sight of my Atkins journey. So I maintained some of the weight loss, but not all of it.

Anyway, today has been a bad day. I had my fitness test for the Royal Navy, and failed. Now, part of the reason I lost track was because my beloved Grandma was diagnosed with cancer the Wednesday before last and taken into hospital - a week later, she was dead. So it has affected me - but I need to get on with my life, and failing today was a huge wake-up call that I need to get back on track.

So I'm going back on Atkins, and this time I'm determined to succeed! I want to be 144lbs by my 18th birthday [next April], but I'm happy to just get started.

Thanks for listening!
