Where to start...

Well back on track as of last week.
Currently I weigh 85.6kg which is bad but not because last week I was 88kg. That is shocking to say the least. I knew it was Xmas but I ate so so much until my belly hurt everyday.

Anyway I have drawn a line and happy to say I am back on track. So weigh in done on Sunday and at 85.6kg, so I need to lose 1.8kg more to get back to my smallest weight of 83.8kg.

Have been doing my exercise and foolishly on the spur of the moment to keep me motivated entered myself into a Half Marathon (21.1km) at the end of March, but realistically I don't think I can do it. If it was say September, I would say yes but March is not that far away and am now worried. I'm just going to carry on and re-assess mid February to see what the situation is. I know it would probably be much easier to run if I lost at least another 5-7kg beforehand.

My mission for the next few weeks is to lose as much weight as I can rather than fully concentrating on the exercise (although these come in hand in hand when a diet is concerned!)I know things will be much easier when I have less lard to move with me!

I have also got on the Twitter bandwagon. Am following a lot of people in the same boat as me and vice versa, so we have a wee support group going.

Just uploaded my weight loss stats from last year when I started back in January 2010. These are from my Weight Watchers Scales and uploaded onto the computer so they are accurate and from the same set of scales.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Im going to update blog on Sunday with my first weigh in for the year.

Ive been back on track since last Sunday but when I weighed in last Sunday the scales were not kind. I can't remember off hand what it was but it was like 3 or 4kgs on over the xmas/new year period which is SHOCKING. But I enjoyed myself and dont have any regrets except its probably going to take me 2 or 3 weeks to lose it.

I have still been excerising though so hopefully this will help me lose it quicker!

Anyway will post on Sunday with weigh in figures and about my goals for 2011.

Ciao xx

Sunday 19 December 2010

Sunday weigh in today and I'm 83.8kg. A loss of just 200gms. Usually I would be dead gutted but I'm okay with it. It's a loss and for this time of year with so many goodies lurking around and on offer - I will take the 200gms off! Plus the pizza I ate at midnight probably didnt help either....

Just found out yesterday the Creche at my gym is closed until 4th Jan, so I will have to be extra good or actually tried to go for a run outdoors (snow permitting!)

Going for a run at my local park will be more appealing because I just bought (waiting for it to be delivered) myself a Garmin Forerunner 110 which is a GPS watch that you can use and it will track your distance/map of your run/ your running pace/beeps when you have run a km - lots of features and it will be a good investment especially when I return to NZ and go for a run back home.

Off to the gym today so hopefully I manage at lest 5km but would love to do 7.5km.

I wish I could push myself further to do more than 5km but for some reason I can't. This is my goal for the new year.

No weigh in tomorrow


Blessing in disguise really!

I have a Dr's Appt tomorrow the same time I usually weigh in - and I have to take the appt as getting an appt to see the Dr is like hens teeth at the moment!!!

Just checked my WW scales at home and the battery has died (one of those circle ones) so have ordered one from Ebay so it should be here on Wednesday and I will only weigh myself on those 2 scales as others are not so accurate.

So my next weigh in day will be Sunday 19 December and then every Sunday after as I will be doing it alone again from now on. The only extra weigh in will be on Xmas Eve to see if I have made my goal.
