I'll do it this time! 10 months ago

I’m feeling very positive about this goal right now! I decided not to eat candy, cakes, ice cream, chips, popcorn etc. for two months and so far I’ve done well. What keeps me motivated is that I’ve planned that I’ll go shopping for new clothes next month.

I’ve had this goal on my list for so long, and 4 kilos isn’t even that much, so it shouldn’t be that difficult.



Challenge consequences? 22 months ago

I’d like to make this a personal challenge (again…) to be accomplished by my graduation, but I can’t come up with any good consequences. I thought about donating money to charity if I fail, but then again having that as a punishment doesn’t feel quite right.

Any suggestions of what I could do?



Not giving up after all... 2 years ago

Okay, so I can’t delete this goal because it’s a personal challenge… And I don’t want to actually give it up either, because I want to do this, and I will accomplish it, just not in time for the personal challenge… And I don’t want to do what I said I would if I fail this! Haha. But I guess I’ll have to since I kind of made a promise.
Damn, I should’ve added the goal “make fewer promises” a bit earlier… But, I guess I’ll just have to keep on working on this. And who knows, maybe it’s possible.



Quitter? 2 years ago

I’m kind of giving up on the personal challenge I’ve made myself with this goal… I haven’t been losing weight fast enough to reach the weight I want in the 33 days I’ve got left… But I’ve been eating well lately and I’ve been exercicing more, so I’m ready to blame it on getting more muscle. ;) That’s got to be it, right? At least I’ve decided to say that, be it an excuse or not.

Yes, this probably makes me a quitter, but maybe not after all, because I’m thinking about adding a goal that says “Weigh 60 kilograms or less” or “Fit into my old jeans” or something which I think is more accurate. I mean, the “lose 4 kilos” should actually say “lose 5 kilos” now, so it’s not the best way to put it.

Yes, I’ve decided now: I’ve remove this goal from my list. If that’s possible, because I think I remember reading that you can’t remove a goal that you have a personal challenge on… Is that true? Well, I’ve got to try…



Okay, starts now! 2 years ago

12 weeks time to do this. It’s possible! It shouldn’t be so hard, I mean, it’s just 4 kilos! Well, actually 5, since I’ve gained one kilo since I added this goal… But I want to weigh 58 kilos. And right now I weigh 63,1. Every Monday I go to this gym and then I weigh myself there. From now on, the scale should show a smaller number every week. Preferably 0,4 or 0,5 kilos less.



Taking this seriously again 3 years ago

Yes, today is a new beginning for my weight loss. Again. =) But now, really. I’ve used so much money now for different kinds of things to help me, so it would be a terrible waste not to make it. And 4 kilos! Come on, it’s not even much! It shouldn’t be this hard…



Backlash... 3 years ago

I’m sorry to say that I won’t be able to keep my promise about reaching 57 kilograms before the summerholiday… There are only two weeks left and I’m back to my starting weight. ashamed I’ve been sick for the past couple of weeks, so I haven’t had much energy for exercise, and then two of my friends had birthday parties last week, and birthday parties mean cake. =S It was really good, but I ate more of it than I should have done. And guess what, there’ll be another birthdayparty this week. Oh dear. I have to keep to one piece of cake… Otherwise I won’t look good in the pretty dress I’m going to wear on the end-of-school-party.



A clear goal now 3 years ago

Yep, so now I’ve gained 2 kgs in the last month… But before the summer holiday (3.6) I will have reached 57 kilograms! Promise! :) And then I’ll keep my weight.



I've started gaining instead of losing... 3 years ago

Eating is just so nice! I notice that I sometimes eat just for fun, even if I’m not hungry… Bad, bad.
And I’ve got so many things to do that I haven’t had enough time for exercicing, even if I really would have liked to do that. (And I really would!)
I really need to start taking this goal siriously again…



Yeee! 3 years ago

Only 2 kilograms left! Yippee!
