Morning everyone

I sat around yesterday asking myself 'why is this taking so long?' and getting rather frustrated at myself because this weight loss journey is taking a lot longer than expected but then I went over the past few months, looking at what I had actually managed to lose and I started to feel a little better...

I have managed to lose close to 12kg since the end of June so things can't be that bad. So what if I have small losses of under 500g a week... its better than a gain and I am slowly but surely getting closer to my goal.

But I do think I have hit my first plateau, so I am shaking things up a little.. well mainly with my eating. For this next week I am only going to have fruit for my breakfast, with a salad for lunch (maybe with ham or some chicken - I havent decided yet) and then for dinner I will continue with what I have generally been having (something out of my low fat, low kJ recipe books). I havent really been snacking of late, so that shouldnt be a problem.

I bought a pedometer the other day and tested it out this morning when I did my 2 mile dvd. I didnt think it would have been very accurate (cos it was only a cheapie) but it was pretty spot on. According the the pedometer I burned 1800 kJ on that walk, so I am happy with that... I plan on either doing my 2 mile dvd again this afternoon when Bub has a sleep or I might even give the 3 mile a go (I havent done that one before)

Hope everyone has a happy, healthy weekend

Darren got his redundancy! Yay! He was looking forward to having a few weeks off but then we looked in the paper and it seems everyone is hiring electricians at the moment so he might not get a break after all. Well, have been to the wedding - reception starts in another hour. It's a beautiful day here too - couldn't have planned it better.

Evening Everyone

Had a good day today... Ate the stuff I said I would, drank lots of water and exercised my bum off...

Ended up doing the 3 mile dvd. Wasnt as hard as I thought it would be either so I think I will aim to do the 2 mile and the 3 mile on the same day at least 3 times a week. Might even do it everyday - depends on what else I have on... Felt really good afterwards knowing that I had done 5 miles of walking today.

I reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy want to lose this 10kg by Christmas lol
