Middle weigh-in

Last weekend I decided to focus on a 5Kg goal instead of the big picture. As I weigh-in on Wednesdays, I didn't know what my starting weight and goal weight would be. But, now I know...on Wednesday I weighed 94.5Kg. So the goal is 89.5Kg.

Just had a mid-week/middle weigh-in of 93.6Kg...on the way to 89.5Kg already!!

Setting myself a 5Kg challenge.

I am sick of hovering between 96Kg and 93Kg. I have decided to concentrate on losing a 5Kg chunk. Even though I would not have said this at the time, getting from 101.6Kg down to 96Kg was kind of easy. Well, it was far from easy but I ate well, drank water and exercised and, it came off. I think I have allowed myself to be too chuffed at losing the weight that I have already lost. When I was over 100Kg I was constantly telling myself it is not okay to be over 100Kg. For some reason I seem to think that I am okay being 95-ish Kg though. But, when I actually think about it, 95Kg is no good for me. I am still roughly 25Kg from goal. I deeply don't want to be getting pregnant until I am 75Kg - that's 20Kg away. Which is scary and has been scary for too long because I think my mind is ready to be pregnant.

So, my challenge is to chip away at it in 5Kg lots. I am getting back to the gym tomorrow. I am really excited about that. My official 5Kg challenge weigh-in is Wednesday but I am going to start from tomorrow. Four lots of 5Kg challenges - that should be okay.

Mantra time: "It is not okay to be 95Kg. I need to lose weight to have a healthy pregnancy. I want to be healthy. It is not okay to be 95Kg. Under 90Kg...here I come."

Have been a bit sad lately

Nothing really to be sad about but I just don't balance my life properly. The good news is that the scales have gone down...slowly!

Anyway, life is for being happy.

Off to catch up on washing, ironing and marking. I've got three weeks to be super-busy so that I can have a holiday :)

I really love my job

I often whinge about it. I feel sometimes that I am forever complaining. But, I have been having good days at work and love working with the kids in my classes. I am very blessed.

Am very excited - a friend just had a baby!

So many things to be happy about :)

Am still sick but am surprisingly so happy.

Had another sneaky, unofficial weigh-in tonight. Today, I am 2.5 Kg away from 10Kg lost.

Real weigh-in tomorrow...can't wait!

Happy :)

Even though I am overwhelmed with work and have a head cold I am so happy! The day started of so nicely...a beautiful walk with T and then a coffee. Since then, I have been plugging away at my work but I feel a lot less sick I think because I went for a walk in the sunshine.

I had a sneak peak at the scales and may have lost 0.5Kg this week. Will have to wait and see on weigh-in day though.

It means that I may be 3.1 Kg away from 10Kg lost and 4.7Kg away from 90Kg and wearing my new tops. Can't wait for that...will open up a whole new wardrobe!

I need to remind myself that all of those good little decisions will eventually add up to BIG results

Another focus...98cm

I love those ads on tv about waist size and how our lifestyles tend to let us pile on the kilograms without noticing.

So, I've just measured my tummy. I am 98cm...:O...WOW!

That means that I have a greatly increased risk of chronic disease.

In this regard, my first stepping stone is to get to 88cm to have just an increased risk of chronic disease.

Then, my healthy goal will be under 80cm.

While I am doing this, I might as well check-up my BMI...

My BMI was 36 (101.6Kg)

My current BMI is 34
