VICTORY

Day 1
I DID IT!
I woke up with my 6:30AM alarm!
And put on my "gym" clothes
(I quit the gym in Oct )
and hit the road!
My plan, as outlined in my diary last night:
Warm-up walk 5 minutes [Check]
Jog 10 minutes, turn around, and come back 10 minutes. [kinda... jog/walk for 20 min total anyway...]
At home, do 50 push ups and 50 sit-ups. [not]
Yoga stretch.[not]

I will do a Yoga dvd later this arvo.

The point is:
I AM dedicated!
I know it's only day 1, and I only got through 1/2 of my ambitious plan,
but that was still a HUGE step for a girl who hasn't worked out in like 3 months.
Stoked!

(Note to self: Don't plan on running at 6:30am - in Brisbane it's already like 28 degrees and hot! Walk in mornings, Run at night, after the sun goes down.)

Breakfast:
1/2 cup OJ
Small decaf tea
1 Mango :)

VICTORY!

The Plan

Weight Watchers
Track points
Exercise daily
Blog once a week
Basics.

I'm back!

Since I put away my "Diary of a Yo-Yo Dieter" blog, things haven't been the same.
I put back on every ounce of fat I had lost :(

But the good news is:
I am happy!
I've spent the last year or two working on my heart.
My relationships.
My mind and emotions.
My spirit.
Contemplating my life,
my talents,
and where I want to go.
Now I'm confident, and I am ready!

I start University in a month.
I also start a hard-core weight-loss challenge in Feb.
(Michelle Bridges 12WBT)
And ALL THREE OF MY CHILDREN WILL BE AT SCHOOL THIS YEAR!!!
YIPPEEE!!!!
Sorry kids....
I do love you, very very much.
But mummy needs her brain back :)

So Diary of a Yo-Yo Dieter is back.
Except, no more Yo-Yo.
I am 29.
In December 2012 I'll turn the big Three-Oh
30.
THIS is the last diet I'll ever start.
It is now MY LIFE.

Healthy.
Mindful.
A bit extreme (I'm doing a half marathon!)
Confident.
Dedicated.
Full of Love, for my God, my self, and others.
And ready to finally find the skinny me.

Goal: 130.
Weight today: 171.4
Weekly goals:
  • Lose 2 lbs.
  • Exercise 5 times
  • Eat healthy, smaller portions
  • No more second helpings!
  • Blog to keep accountable
  • Pray every day for success
  • Do my best!
*Sigh*
It's great to be back... home.
