for the most part. I’ve walked 3 times this week, been eating salad, carrot sticks and snackatas at work.
I did stuff up at the beginning of the week, I had choclate (organic, 70% cocoa) on Sunday and Monday nights- finishing the block and cos I was stressed and had to wash the car on tuesday, I had a shake and burger from Hungry Jack’s.
I’m trying, but I’m afraid it will only be short term. I should weigh in mid- week, but there is a small result.
Being good seems to hard.
First up, I have been avoiding this blog and any discussion of my health and fitness like the plague. I really felt like (feel like?) I had given up on it, that I couldn’t do it, it wouldn’t happen.
I’m not the most driven woman in the world and weight loss is not something I have ever acheived.
Today, I went to the cardiologist. I was meant to have lost some weight- more than the three kilos or so I had lost in the last 6 months. So I went, expecting a lecture.
I didn’t quite get a lecture, but I was reminded that “weight loss should be your priority” and that “it’s for the goos of your health”. I should say at this point, my health is pretty good- I’m off most medications, heart function is normal and all within that three year timeframe.
However, the thing that hasn’t changed in those three years is my weight. So the challenge is on, I have been moved to yearly chekups, rather than 6 monthly ones. I have to lose 20kgs in the next 12 months.
Realistic, yes. Acheivable- probably. Hard- you bet.
Peter and I had a chat tonight about what we have to change to get back on track- reducing fat, cutting carbs and increasing excercise (this is a priority). Which is going to mean less time on my butt in front of a computer, and more time walking- or something.
I’ve set the challenge- now I have to acheive it.
