Before After

Well, it's been two whole months

And I am still here   Woohoo!

So what have I achieved this month:-

1.  Loss of 8.5 lbs - you know, when you are working from day-to-day it just doesn't seem like it is moving very fast, but that is just the mind playing tricks.

2.  Definitely feeling great   Can run up and downstairs easier already and do not feel as heavy and bloated.

What I haven't achieved:-

EXERCISE - I've done some but when it comes down to it, the momentum just is not there right now.  But it has been a busy month, then I broke my toe and well, that was it.  I let "life" take over rather than taking over my life.

So, goals for month 3:-

1.  Lose more weight.

2.  Takeover my life more and exercise at least 10 mins a day - it's not much, but it's the start of a habit that I shall grow.

3.  Pay more attention to my appearance.  Working from home makes a person lazy - I rarely put makeup on these days, etc.

4.  Study   OU course starts end of September but I've already worked through the first week bar the practical experiment - got to build a rain gauge hehe

5.  Tackle the emotional eating.

My worries right now:-

1.  Maintenance - I don't want to go back to bad eating, but am I going to regain if I go out once a week?  Will I have to watch every mouthful 24/7?  I'm not sure I want to do that.  I'd love a 90:10 of good to bad hehe

2.  Skin - oh my main worry.  I can see the creepiness already.  I worry about the stomach pucker belly.  But then I can give it two years and have surgery I guess.  But I do worry over this.  Vanity huh!

I think I may not post on my blog every day - it can be hard to find things to post - every couple of days should see me through.  That will give me more time to read other blogs and get lots of advice.

Thank you for reading

Great goals!

I think you have great goals for month three.  The exercise is so important.  Not just for weight loss.  But strength training can help the skin, too.  I worry about maintenance as well.  I think one thing we have to do is not separate it out.  There's no beginning and no end to this.  We just have to make the healthy habits our way of life.  You know? 

Good luck with your goals.  You can do it!

Doing well!

Nothing wrong with 8.5lbs - it still can really make a difference!

What OU course are you studying?  I start studying again soon too ... Management Accounting for me, very dull stuff but useful for my work!
