lose 20-30 pounds

I’ve been cutting out fatty foods and a lot of starches. Not eating cheese was a hard move to make, but it sure has paid of.

I’m 2 pounds from my previous goal I set for my wedding dress. My first fitting is on 14 Feb and after that I shouldn’t lose any more weight or my dress would have to be altered again. I have however moved my goalposts. Instead of another 2 pounds, I’m gonna try for another 6 to 8 pounds, which might be possible in the next 3.5 weeks if I work hard.

• No coffee/tea – If I couldn’t resist I had coffee with low-fat milk and artificial sweetener. Coffee is bad for you in any case – makes your teeth yellow and caffeine doesn’t go well with my hyperactivity issues.
• No cheese
• Stick to wholewheat
• ADD FRUIT!!!
• Water – of course ;)

I hurt my back in December, so I hadn’t been exercising much. This will however be changing this week.

My time left before my wedding (10 March) is steadily decreasing. I need to go buy dress material in January and would preferably be at my goal weight by then. Since starting regular excercise I’ve actually lost around 5 pounds, but I still have quite a few to go (around 18lbs/8kg). Is this a doable goal for the two months I’ve got left???

OK, so this goal isn’t going too great… I’ve actually gained another 3kg!!!

Strange how things don’t get done if you don’t work at it…

Plan of action:
Join a martial arts class with my fiancé;
Take part in 5km fun runs once a month with my sister/s;
Go to gym with my friend as many times as possible;

The whole plan is to make exercise FUN…

OOOOOH – AND start playing squash! I’d love to do something competitive
