Wednesday Weigh In

Up 2.4lb on last week. Not good. But what do you expect when you put in zero effort! (Hence the title of the post - should make me more accountable).

I really need to get serious if I want to see 'onederland'. I've not that much to lose to reach my first target and at this stage I can only imagine how wonderful it will feel to see & stay below 200lb.

It's my birthday in two weeks. Could I lose 8lb by then? If not, I really want it off by the end of the month.

I need to set some goals for April. I need to :-

Drink water

Eat fruit

Get active

Keep food journal

Stop eating out

Start cooking more - try new recipes, at least one / two per week

Stepping It Up A Gear

As I'm sitting here typing & eating my Sun Bites Wholegrain Snacks (bursting with the goodness of wholegrains @ 131 cal & .6g sat fat per bag) I'm making a promise to myself that I will step it up a gear!

If I'm totally honest, I think I've been doing ok with regard to eating. Just ok, not good or great and I certainly know I can do a whole lot better. Better healthy choices, better portion sizes, better variety. So I've bought a smaller dinner plate and I'm starting to plan my food / keep a journal again.

With regard to exercise, my effort is zero! I keep saying I'll wait till the weather gets better and then get out walking. I do get out maybe once, twice a week but I could be doing a whole lot better with this.

It's less than 4 weeks till my birthday and I'd love to reach my first mini-target of 199lb by then. That's about 7lb. I know it's doable but I'm not sure I can do it, such is my motivation. However, I am working on this and I will give it a go. I owe it to myself and my girls.
