a rambling update...

Another unsuccessful week, I unfortunately have to admit.
I have found it incredibly difficult exercising and avoiding temptation at my mums house- I guess here at home I don't have more than a loaf of bread and some milk- but at Mums' there is everything under the sun- chocolates, flour, eggs, cake, ice-cream, pancakes, cookies, dips, chips, spreads, alcohol, pastas... It's really testing me being around all of this stuff I usually don't come into contact with. I'm used to having almost no food at home and I know I'm not trying hard enough to resist it- just giving in and pretending it won't matter.

SIGHHHHHHH- how frustrating!
I know I will have gained back a lot of weight.

I know it's just a matter of resisting and making conscious decisions.
I'm not trying hard enough and have lost my willpower.
I keep eating things with no regard to the consequences.

IT HAS TO STOP... this is my opportunity to lose weight while not under the stress of uni, and I'm just blowing it!

Well... There are 4 weeks left of holidays and I am not going to waste them- I can't afford to.
From now on, I will do an hour exercise EVERY DAY. I will endeavour to eat healthy, will stock healthy food options, and I will eat properly. No more wine and boozy weekends. I've done that enough.

Today I am going for a long walk and nothing will stop me.
I am having a coffee with a friend but it will be NO EXCUSE for eating poorly- and similarly, I will eat fabulously at work for dinner.

Phew... wish me luck---- I need it!!

okay, back to square one

There has not been any update for a little while due to handing folio in, going on break, having a huge long-weekend... I enjoyed myself, had a brilliant time and drunk a lot of beer/wine. I've put on 1.3 kg since my last weigh-in, which was exactly 7 days ago. I'm totally cool with that as I have made some very naughty choices indeed, but have caught up with friends in a spectacular fashion and now have eyes firmly set on goals ahead: 500 gram loss weekly.
Going to cut back on the drinking, eating out etc and focus on good choices, reduce portion sizes, etc.
I know this is very achievable, but I do find it harder to discipline myself as I am living at mum's house for the hols.
WIll just have to have a big pot of soup handy always, and limit any cheekiness to the weekend.

Next week I am hoping to weigh in at 77.5 kg :)

wish me luck!

THE 6 IN 12 WINTER CHALLENGE!

The day I have been waiting for: June 01!
Why am I excited about winter, you ask?
Because this is the most exciting time of the year- this is the time of the year where you rise to the challenge, and lose those kilos, look fabulous in summer- OR.... the time when you lose sight of the goal.
Welll.. my friends.. I will not lose sight of the goal.
I am *so* excited as I have a brilliant fool-proof scheme in mind...
And besides- once I get back from my 5 weeks of holidays winter will be half-over already! And *that* is something to celebrate.
