Feeling good even though I'm feeling sick!

So today proved to be a bit stressful... Stayed on track though which was great..

Went for a nice walk with my friend.. 6.5kms.. Felt great.. Nice workout..

Feeling like a cold is coming on! Sore throat started last night.. Felt a bit blocked today & now have sore eyes.. I feel like I need a holiday!!

DAY 2...

After a stressful start to the day with little sleep & a sick child.. I still managed to eat well.. Would've liked to have gone for a walk at lunchtime but didn't happen..

I managed a Half hour exercise bike ride tonight so feel like I've achieved something! Really want to stick to my half hour minimum of exercise a day! Have a 6.5 km walk planned with a friend tomorrow in my favourite park.. Can't wait!

Am meeting a male on Saturday night after I have dinner with friends.. He is very keen to meet me & me him.. I've met a number of guys over the past 5 years, none of which have developed into anything.. I believe that's because of my low self esteem.. It has now increased greatly.. I am planning on oozing confidence on Saturday night.. Will post on the outcome!

No More Night Coffees!

Woke up this morning feeling exhausted!! Hardly any sleep again.. Need to avoid coffee after 5pm I think..

Not jumping on the bike this morning as I feel the need to relax! I will go for a half hour walk at lunch time..

Day 1.... DONE.....TICK

Started the day nice & early.. Was on the exercise bike at 6.40am! Did a good 20 minute ride!

Ate well at lunch.. No snacks during the day.. Drank my water..

Got home around 6.30pm.. Got changed & went for a half hour walk with the kids.. Felt great to be out hitting the pavement in the gorgeous weather..

Had a lovely hot chicken salad... Yummo!!

Looking forward to continuing my journey to goal : )

DAY 1...

It's 6.12am & today's the first day of my return to the wagon & the first day of my journey to goal! I have enjoyed eating as I've pleased for the past week but I'm feeling very sluggish because of it! The decision to have a full week off was to kick start my weight loss & give myself a break from thinking about what to eat constantly!

I must exercise for at least 30 minutes every day as it makes a huge difference to my efforts!

My eating plan!... I'm returning to the plan I was on when I got down to 107 when I trained with PT.. I recently went on shakes before the wedding.. I cannot sustain using shakes as I feel like I'm starving!! I need to eat, particularly when I train...

I also MUST drink at least 2 litres of water a day.. NO SOFT DRINK!!

So, here goes... Look out world, Here I come!!!!

BACK ON THE WAGON!!

Soooo.. Here I am... Almost 2 years since I have blogged here.. I'm excited! Tomorrow is the start of my journey to goal.. I have done quite well.. I was 138kg when my daughter was born on 6/7/10.. I have lost about 20 kilos to date without regular exercise or consistent healthy eating.. My sister got married last weekend & I was happy with the way I Iooked on the day! I ordered 2 sizes smaller & by the time the dressed arrived in the store - mine fit!! The lady in the store was amazed!! Lol

3rd November marks 5 years as a single woman!! I'm very keen to finally meet my man - The One! I truly believe that my weight has held me back.. I am very self-conscious, lack confidence & worry about what men think of me!! So, I have decided to take a break from dating to lose my weight & get fit do that I can be at my best when I meet The One! I want to feel confident & comfortable... To love myself before I can expect someone else to love me! My confidence had increased a lot in the past few months & I'm now hopeful, even excited about what the future holds!! Will keep you posted!
