lose 3kg

ok so my weightwatchers account got cut off and i actually GAINED some weight. need to reprioritize and get this goal done :)

joined weightwatchers online today :)
woohoo for motivation

i am really not doing too well at all.
BUT I have come up with a plan;
motivate myself to exercise and eat healthily.

So I have bought myself some vouchers for different stores and if I do 4×1 hr of exercise a week, I get one.
Hopefully then I will get into to habit and everything will be much easier :)

apparently lost a kilo.
i think its just because i weighed myself early this morning before i had anything to eat or drink.
but anyway i am trying, tomorrow i am going to go to the gym and sunday as well if i have enough money.
if not i shall go for a longggg walk.

by the end of march
that gives me 32 days. 1 kilo every 10 days. 100 grams per day. sounds easy enough :)
start with a healthy breakfast tomorrow and plenty of exercise!
current weight: 72kg.
goal:69kg.

a block of chocolate (yes a whole block) tonight probably didn’t help the cause any _{even if it was fairtrade and organic…}

as I’m really determined to tick this off as done. I came back from holidays a week ago and have since lost a kilo by eating sensibly and exercising for 30 minutes every day. That means I’ve still got three kilos to go as I put 2kg on over Christmas – I’ll blame nonna’s good cooking for that one ;)

When I had a look at my previous entry for this goal it was written five months ago! I’ve been so up and down with this and at at times it’s been more like 4 kilos than 3. At the moment I’m about half-way there. Exercise-wise I’ve been managing 30 mins on the treadmill 5 x a week, plus some work with weights. I’ve also taken up kayaking three or four times a week which has added to my overall activity levels. I’m being more conscious about what I eat (although I have slipped up this weekend a bit…) I’m determined to get down to my goal weight by Christmas otherwise I know I’ll be in real trouble.

write about this kind of thing under another goal, but I felt like this needed to be its own separate entity. Ever since I have come back from Japan I have been struggling to keep my weight down. At first I blamed it on Christmas and being out of my normal routine – but I think this many months on there’s clearly more to it. I have taken one or two kilos off at different points, but then I relax and it goes straight back on. Which is kind of a pain because I just didn’t have to think this much in Japan – my weight stayed within the same range and it never felt like a lot of effort. But I can see that I am doing some things differently. I’m less active than I was in Japan – I did a lot more walking on a day-to-day basis and went to the gym more than I’m going here. I ate smaller portions of healthier food. Having no oven combined with my dietary restrictions (I’m gluten and dairy intolerant) meant that I didn’t bake or eat baked goods – gluten-free things like cakes or bread were very difficult to come by in Japan and I just did without.
But now that I realise all this it’s time to do something about it. I don’t just want to accept putting on weight as being inevitable now that I’m back home. I was very happy at my previous weight and I want to get back to where I was.

i need too!!!
