A new start - again.....



Why is it that Mondays are more often than not "start again days". I have been a little out of control and it's getting worse. So i'm going to start again, tomorrow, for about the millionth time. I guess the good thing is that I do reign myself in and start again, at least I don't give up altogether!!

I'm also going to attempt getting up early to jump on the treadmill. I say "attempt" because DS has been waking up in the middle of the night for about a week now, and if he does that tonight I won't be getting up early tomorrow, but if he doesn't then i'm there, with bells on. Well, my iPod at least! LOL

The first week of this year was great for me. I lost 1.9kg - I think that was my all time record. Since then, i've stayed the same (except today - i'm heavier). This morning I was 77 neat, so i've put back on 0.6 which isn't too bad considering. Now I have to get rid of that and i'm going to be ruthless with myself until I get past that ridiculous 75kg barrier that i've put up. I'm giving myself four weeks, walking on the treadmill every weekday, plus walking to get the mail and do the banking, and on weekends try and go for a walk aswell. Even if it's just going to the shops like I did today, but I parked right on the other side of the shopping centre from where I wanted to go and I walked right to the other end and back, plus lots of shopping inbetween.

I bought a couple of tops, they're Mediums and they are from Valley Girl, so really they're about 12's or maybe even big 10's. To fit into them I definitely need to be under 70kg's. By the time I fit them, it will be winter! I'm not really sure why I bought them except that they were on special and I thought maybe I needed some incentive?? Stupid really.

We received our contract for the new house. It's about seventy-four-million pages long and I haven't had the time or the energy to sit down and read it yet. I guess I better cos I think the solicitor is expecting it signed, sealed and delivered back to him by tomorrow!!??!??!?

Still haven't heard about our loan approval, I guess we'll hear soon, they said about a week but with Australia Day last week I guess that put us back a bit.

I still have everything crossed.

Hope you're all having a great Sunday. Don't they come around fast?

It is because of people like you who do not give up - that giving up for me is not an option either. You inspire me. Motivate me. And sometimes you just make me piss myself laughing. *sigh* I thought weight loss would help with that little problem. LOL. Have a great week Bri. :D

Bri you are doing so great. The way I figure it, we yoyo our way up the scales...lose 3 kg and put on 4, lose 2kg and put on 3kg and end up weighing more then we ever thought we would. And so I think its normal to yoyo our way down, as long as we reverse the trend i.e lose more than we put on. and you are doing exactly that! So you are on track! You know...about those date headers....if you work out how to get rid of them, can you let me know too? Thx. Keep up the great work! You'll fit into those new tops before you know it.

Life is a yo yo Bri and I certainly am guilty of doing the same thing over and over again. But this week we will be good and help each other to go in the right direction.

The main thing is that you keep on getting up and starting again - well done for doing that. I think that we all go through these stages but you will get down to 75kg and then you will get to below 70kgs so that you can fit into your new tops !!!
Well done on the exercise after parking at the far end of the parking lot.
Take care and have a great week !

Good to see you jumping back on the wagon, I hope you have no troubles getting started again this week.

Good luck with the loan approval / contract - scary but exciting times!!

Congratulations on recognising your down falls and not giving up. The loan approval will come through I'm sure and yes Australia Day will have put it back a week.

Good luck for this week and I know you will get there in the end. Just remember it doesn't matter how long it takes as long as you try and keep doing it until it does.
