So proud of myself

Okay so it is nearly the end of Week 3 of the 12 Week Weightloss Challenge at Zumba in Melbourne so I thought I would brave the scales again. On Monday 31st Jan I jumped on the scales at Zumba and I weighed the same as my starting weight. I will be honest I was crushed but it was at night and I had been eating all day and just did an hour session of Zumba and drank lots of water. Anyway, I thought I would brave the scales again here at home. I closed my eyes and then I looked. Oh thank god. I have lost a total of 3.2kgs in 3 weeks. Yay...........!!!! So very excited. I have been getting lots of support from Amy (Zumba instructor). I really would love to win this challenge. I really do think that this year is my year for personal growth and acceptance (but would love to get down to a manageable weight).

I have been watching 'The Biggest Loser'. Hahahaha so funny. Isn't it funny how large people have all the excuses not to keep going which is what got them there in the first place. Kinda need to get in the right headspace before taking of such a big task. I was astounded by how much weight the trainers put on in just a week. Eating lots of junk and not doing any exercise did the job. Most of them put on like 5kgs each in a week. Now I would love to lose that in a week not put it on but just shows how easy it is. Is it any wonder they are so large. I love Jodie from the Moon family. She is a mum too and she has struggled but she is pushing and is an inspiration. I say great work to her.

That is all.

Have a good weekend.

Everybody say "yeah".....!!!!!!!

Okay okay I am so so so excited.

I weighed myself this morning and I am another 1.3kgs down. That is a total loss of 2.3kgs. Woot woot. I am doing a happy dance. All the walking and exercise is paying off - of course - as well as the new food regime.

Now I am not an expert. I am not a diet guru but you need to know one secret and I am hoping that I can continue to abide by it too. THIS IS NOT A DIET IT IS A LIFESTYLE CHANGE. Too many times we all go on 'diets' and lose weight but lo and behold as soon as we get down to a wonderful weight we all start eating unhealthy foods again. Energy in, Energy out. What you put in your body must be worked off in exercise. Is it any wonder our ancestors weren't obese. Nope they all worked damn hard and never worried about there weight. Of course they didn't have takeaway stores on every corner and chocolate bars at every register at the supermarket. It does come down to CHANGE. I am still getting my head around it. As much as there is temptation in my house (chocolate and cupcakes) I have not given in. I no longer want to be fat. I want to be proud of my body. I want to look in the mirror and not shiver from looking at the fattie looking back at me.

Anyway - enough babbling.

Sorry this blog is about my feelings and thoughts.

I do hope you get some inspiration from me.

Woot we have some success

I woke up this morning and thought I would jump on the scales before coffee and breakfast. I was a little scared that it wouldn't show any difference but it said 88.7kgs (different starting weight on my scales to Zumba in Melbourne scales). Woot. That means I have lost 1kg already in 5days. I am so stoked you would not believe.

I have been having serious sugar withdrawals though. Thursday night after I got back from Zumba I was feeling quite nauseous and had a mega headache. I went to bed pretty early (for me anyway). I did ride home on my bike that night too and boy talk about insects. I nearly had a nice meal of them. Thankfully I wear glasses coz I am sure they would have been in my eyes. Such a difference when it goes dark to when I rode down there.

So I am getting there. The headaches are going to be worth it. Hopefully they will disappear in the next week or so.

Oh forgot to say on Monday the 17th that it was officially the Anniversary DH and I gave up smoking. Woo hoo. I am officially a 'Non Smoker'. So excited.

have a good weekend ladies.
