Hi all!!
Nobody has blogged lately so I thought I better put something up before everything gets really crazy, which I think is what is about to happen!! We are getting down to the wire now!! I have been doing my challenge for the past 4 weeks & while it does work, as I ended up losing 5.3kg (11.7lbs) over the 4 weeks, it wasn't what I needed to lose to get me to my goal at the end of the year. I guess my body doesn't work the way other people's bodies do & I just wasn't getting the results that some of the other people on the challenge were. That's ok though. I learnt some things along the way that I can use to get me to my goal & I still have time. I will do the challenge again next year to get my year kick started & then I will be happy to lose 1kg (2.2lbs) per week.
So tomorrow I will start back on my eating plan that I was doing before I started the challenge, which basically means that I eat 1200 calories per day. I know that I can make my goal if I stick to that religiously (no splurge days every weekend!!!) & keep up my exercise routine. It will be hard work, but I have 10 weeks to get to my goal & I really really really want to do it. I want to see that 100kg (220lbs)or less on the scales on New Year's Eve. Of course that will be before the festivities begin lol!!
To date since I began my current weight loss journey I have lost 46.3kg (102lbs) & so far this year I have lost 35.8kg (78.9lbs). That means I have 24.2kg (53.4lbs) left to go. I know that I can do it if I really really try. I just have to pull out all the stops & go for it. Easier said than done I know, but here goes!!
You might not hear from me for a while, as there are a lot of things coming up in the next couple of months, so I hope all is well with you all & that you are managing to achieve your own goals that you set for yourselves. Every little step gets us that little bit closer to what we want to achieve. We just have to keep plugging away little by little & we can't help but win in the end.
