It has been a long long time since I posted, but I find if I update you all regularly I seem to do really well when I make myself accountable to you, so in advance thank you for your support and for reading my blog.
Well 2012 is going to be the year I am going to get to do it and live my dream. I am going to get to goal in 2012.
My current stats, I am 73.3kg, 13.3kg off the top of my range (so far lost 23.3kg) . I have been exercising (on and off) and trying my very best with nutrition to make it happen. I am now looking at what I can change around and brush up on to make this dream a reality.
Chad is the most supporting and loving husband ever, he makes it happen for me. He said to me tonight, you go jump on the bike, I will put the girls to bed and then we will have tea. If it was not for him being supportive it would be so hard! How lucky am I?
The last few months have evolved and as part of a working team who are all of like minded people I have surrounded myself with more friends who are batting for me to win this! I am so going to do it. I am also enjoying being there for the them, not only in weight loss but also friendships. Wow I am so lucky that my fatness has brought all these loving people into my life! I have the best mentor and friend possible who would walk over coals to make me get to my goal. To know she believes in me 200% even when sometimes I don't, means more to me than she will ever ever know! SHE GETS IT, she has walked the talk, so how lucky am I? I have a couple (actually a few) text and walk buddies who are also there when I want to scream, shout or cry, even if it is not weight related but do you know what, the best thing is they are there for me, and I sure hope they know I am there for them.
So looking forward.... I plan to do the following....
TRACK, TRACK AND TRACK AND TRACK SOME MORE, it has to happen every day! Even if I don't like what I see, I track.
and
1. Update you all weekly on my progress, how I am going (thru the good, the bad and the shit!) If I don't remind me and hound me till I do.
2. Get in here and babble when I need to.
3. Plan my meals, to make life so much easier, especially when the unexpected can happen.
4. Weigh I food when i am at home and can. I have the ww scales and I would never be without them. If we go on holiday and I know I am cooking, they go with me. If I only put 70% in I am only going to get 70% out - I so believe this.
5. Drink at least 2x 750ml pump water bottles a day
6. Exercise at least 3 times a week, at this stage that is achieveable.
7. Aim to loose 200g a week. I have been struggling to do that lately, I don't think it is directly any fault of my own apart from not getting off my arse and exercising, and now that I have less to loose, I am going to have to suck it up and get on with it. I have brought a concession card to Aquacise and tonight got on the exercise bike for 40mins and guess what... it did not kill me but man I have a sore bum!
8. Believe I can do this and have a healthy outlook on my weight loss, my journey and that I am going to get there. My Crohn's disease is so much better when I am eating normal food but on the ww scale of propoints and not having the shit we would of had if I was not.
I am in a really fortunate position working as I do for ww, and I love that I can share my journey with you all. Don't be afraid to ask me how I went for the week or any questions about my journey. I am more than happy to disclose.
Recently I did my measurements to compare from when I first started (96.6kg) and I have lost 67.5cm's off my body. Wow how bloody awesome is that! (20.5cm off my tummy and 4.5cm off my chicken wing upper arms!). Do it now if you have not, it is so worth the satisfaction you get! Happy to share my clown pants with anyone who has not seen them!
So the one other thing I am doing for me this year is loosing my marbles. Yes you read it right. I have a glass vase on my windowsill that each blue marble represents a 100g, so every time I loose 100g, I take one out. It is one of two visual aids I use. Every time I go into the kitchen I see the vase and it just gives me a wee reminder that I am worthy of this journey. I also got given two wooden words for xmas from a very special secret santa, "Believe" and "Inspire" they are on a pelmet in our bedroom, so they are the last thing I see at night and the first thing I see in the morning. How can I fail, when I am setting myself up to succeed. I believe I can do it and I so hope my dream of inspiring somebody will come true, hopefully a lot of people!
I have dribbled on enough tonight, hope you enjoy reading this and my progress, journey down my yellow brick road, loosing my marbles.
