Hone my curves

I feel like such a loser. I’ve been thinking about losing weight for well over a year now. Luckily in this time I haven’t gained weight but I still need to lose 8 kgs to feel good.

Ummm…action plan? I haven’t one.

I’d been so good.
Most days for the past 2 weeks I’ve been very good.
Even on my birthday I restrained myself suitably. I did cave a bit at a kid’s party on Sunday. But on Monday I even declined the decadent cake which was offered to me at work. However the past 2 days I’ve be sooo hungry. Much more so than normal. I wonder if it’s this ghastly chilly weather we’ve been having. I’d tried and tried to not eat too much and just good healthy foods. Last night I cracked and ate some Freddo frogs (party leftovers!) while watching a film. And today I finally gave in to this recipe which had been beckoning me for the past few days. I did lose 1.5 kgs but I need to get back on board and continue.

I think it clicked. I’m hoping so.

This time I’m going to cut out the crap and focus on healthy eating until I see the results I desire.
I got my new Dr Marten knee high boots yesterday which I luuurve but I know will look tons better if my legs were a little bit slimmer. Seeing some photos of me and my flabby waist at Liam’s party has also made me spring into action.

Go! Go! Go!

• Cut out cordial drinks. I’ve been drinking lots of Bickfords ice tea. I’ll drink only water from now on.
• No more hot milo with marshmallows – a daily treat I’ve been giving myself. Substitute with herbal tea.
• No more cheese and crackers for snacks.
• Eat more fruit.

I really do need to concentrate on this again. Despite all the Christmas binges I’ve fortunately not put on an extra weight but I’m sitting on the high end of the ‘healthy/normal’ BMI range (25). I’d ideally love to lose 8 kilos which I know I can as I did it after the twins were born.
This week will be spent psyching myself up for some serious dieting – purging the house of any temptations, looking for some low-fat recipes etc.
