Before After

My friends list

what goes on does eventually come off

Why is it that it is so easy to put on weight but so difficult to get rid of it? I put on 4 kg over 2 weeks at Christmas time - and over the whole month of January I haven't managed to lose all those 4 kg. It really makes no sense - surely if I can put on 4 kg in 2 weeks I should be able to lose 4 kg in 2 weeks - if only !
 
I have a wedding to go to on 10 April and I want to have lost at least 5 kg by then if not more. Good to have a goal!

Run run run as fast as you can..

I am really getting into running. Pete bought me the adidas micoach thing & it really has made a huge difference. In the past I used to hate running - but now I realise I was running to fast & so that is why I the running never lasted for more than a week.
 
The micoach really helps me because I run much slower with it & then I actually really enjoy it. And it is my time to myself - it is so nice to have that time just for me. No kids, husband, work, pets, friends, family wanting anything from me! Really is great. Even though the longest run I have done has been 25 minutes (about 2.5km!)! So no Bruce Fordyce
 
And had to miss my run today because Pete ran then wasn't really time for me to run as well - and I really did miss it! Can't wait to run tomorrow.

Simply Slim is the way forward

So weighed myself this morning and have lost some weight! Yay so happy - after being so good last week and then picking up on Friday - was ready to give it all in again. But decided to rather keep at it & look at the total weight lost (2kg so far!) rather than weight changes between weigh ins - makes a big difference.
 
Also think the Simply Slim tabs are fabulous - my appetite has disappeared - only hungry at meal times & not like starving just pleasantly hungry. And then no more cravings for chocolate, cakes, chocolate, chocolate, and so on. That is the best thing - not wanting to inhale bags of chuckles etc. It is fabulous - no wonder skinny people are skinny if this is how they feel all the time. They probably don't feel hungry all the time & they probably never have cravings. One skinny girl I know says she can only eat 2 chuckles in the bag before she starts feeling sick - I am more like I can eat 22 bags of chuckles before I remotely start to feel sick.
 
Anyways, really glad about the simply slim.

At the start

Almost 3 years after having my last child I am still being asked if I am pregnant! Going into the shop to buy skittles for my niece & being asked by the shop assistant if skittles is one of my cravings. Being a bit confused until I realised he thought that I was pregnant - this was 3 weeks ago.
 
Then coming back from holiday and no longer being able to fit into my fat clothes. Clothes that were only meant to be temporary after I had my last child - but nearly 3 years later I am still wearing them. And now they are to small for me - so I have had to start wearing my hubby's clothes. Terrible.
 
I am tired of feeling like this - of feeling fat, feeling hideous & ugly, having nothing to wear. So this is the year that I become a stick insect. This is my year.
My plan is to: 1. exercise every day for at least 20 minutes; 2. train to run the Knysna half marathon on 10 July - all that running has go to help out; 3. Stick to the Hungarian take away calorie controlled meals; 4. Cold turkey on the sugar; 5. Cut right down - waaaay down on the alcohol - 1 glass wine per day (gulp!) with lots of ice; 6. watch out for weekends; 7. watch portion sizes.
 
Good luck to me!
