It got better though. (My goals are in this one)

I wrote yesterday that I wasted the day but it did get better. I cooked a beautiful roast dinner and went for a lovely walk - in the dark! When I was walking and breathing in the fresh air, I thought to myself "why didn't I walk in the sunshine today?".

Lesson 1: Get the most you can out of each day.

I just added a photo to my profile. It is pretty much from exactly a year ago - our snow trip. At the time, I felt utterly disgusting about my weight. I was really unfit and didn't get the most out of my time there because I was overweight. My instructor in the photo was heaps older than me but heaps fitter. I remember him telling me that next time I go to the snow, I need to walk or ride a bicycle each day for two months before I go to get my legs ready. I thought at the time - "how easy to do that! why didn't I do that?" I was embarrassed that I hadn't had a regular exercise program in place - I haven't made much progress in a whole year though. Regular exercise - exercise everyday - here I come!

I have just read on the weightwatchers forum about a lady who has lost 30.5 Kg since October 2008. That achievement is so amazing and so good to read about and shocks me into thinking how I have let life pass me by. I haven't been as committed as I should have been. This amazing lady has lost on average 3.4 Kg a month. 3.4 Kg a month doesn't sound that amazing - don't get me wrong losing that is hard work and is amazing - but 3.4 Kg a month sounds doable. When you look back over 9 months though, those 3.4 Kg's add up to be an amazing 30 Kg - I think that's awesome. How did she do it? I can gather she tracked, exercised, drank water and picked herself up when she fell off track. She is an inspiration to me. I want to share in her success! I can track. I can exercise. I can drink water. I can put myself back on track when I fall off.

I don't seem to work well when I do this but I can't help myself...I'm going to dream...

The above plan would see me losing approximately 850grams a week. That is possible. How? Answer: Tracking, Exercising, Drinking Water and Getting Back on Track. I plan to do those things to lose 100 grams per day. That is not far off of 850 grams per week.

It can happen - It has happened to others - It will happen to me!
