Hi all, yes, I'm restarting my weightloss efforts all over again. This time though, I will ensure that I continue to blog regardless of whether I overate or fallen off. I realised that I've been failing to lose weight all these while because I've been to obessed with being perfect. If I ate something forbidden, I would abandon and restart. This is not right! I've also been reading this novel "The amazing adventures of dietgirl." Its hilarious and it has given me the courage to restart this journey.
I was out shopping just the other day, and I realised I have gained so much weight that I am now officially a UK size 18. My goodness! Just a year ago, I was fluctuating between 12 and 14!!!!
So I've decided I need to fight against the flab! My first step in my plan is to find a schedule that I can stick to. I realised I need to have a certain consistency, a fixed plan for me to stick to, so that exercise becomes robotic.
You see, I've recently quit my job to study my masters degree full time and to concentrate on losing weight. I only have a month more to go with my studies before graduation and I've left my job about a month ago. BUT, despite the extra time that I now have, I have not been studying and neither have I been exercising nor started to look for a new job. Instead, I realised I have unknowingly become a couch potato, watching tv all day long. Argghhhh, where has all the enthusiasim of finally having time to look after myself properly gone? So now, I am a jobless, fat person who is probably going to fail my exams too, at the rate I am heading. I know also that at this rate I am cooping myself all day at home, that depression will soon get to me. In a way, I sort of regretted leaving my job. Well, at least if not, I will continue to have a good paycheck everymonth, and somehow, despite my complaints, I would have found time to study and pass my exams. Somehow, when you feel you have less time, time is then spent much more wisely. Argghhhhhh. So all these need to be changed, before my self -eesteems follows down the drain.
So yes, I have listed the things I must do before 15 Dec 2011.
1) Exercise and lose weight
2) Do up and send out my resumes
3) Study hard at this final leg
4) Get the bloomberg certificate
5) Read widely to keep abreast of the current financial situation
Next up, I will come up with a timetable and not just do things based on my mood for the day- somehow, I feel if I am told what to do and when to do it, I will be less likely to stray and give myself excuses. Its just like meetings at work, you just dont give excuses to skip it.
I will go for a slow jog on alternative days (Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun). Once I can manage to jog at 8km/hr then I will call my friend florence.
Oh yes, another thing I have noticed since my massive weight gain is that my thighs have started to rub against each other when I go for my jogs. There's this abrasion and it hurts so much when I jog. Is there any way to stop it? My knees have also started to hurt with my excess weight.
Alright, off to a new start!
