Back to the grind

So clearly that last bout of 'motivation' couldn't last the 30 mins a day. Le Sigh. 
So here I am again.

What's changed? Since then I got a new puppy and dealt with sleepless nights and a whole change in routine. Despite walking an hour and a half a day with him, I'm still going up on the scales and increasing the sizes I need at Target. I dislike this immensely. I feel unsexy, lethargic, thick, depressed and disappointed in myself. 

So time to regroup. No more excuses. I've done it before, I can do it again.
Also, a picture of Theo for general 'nawws' 



Starting stats
Weight 77kgs
BMI 28/ Overweight
Calculate yours here: Australian Heart Foundation BMI Calculator

Measurements

I need to measure again soon but I'm size 16 Target pants and a 12-14 top. A very squeezy size 12 dress but really a 14. 

Apps & Aides
Lifesum App on iphone (great for calorie counting)

Goals
1kg per week loss of weight. Gradual reduction in measurements. Gradual increase in fitness.

Milestone 1
8kgs which would see me back under 70kgs at 69.5kgs
Deadline: September 26th


Milestone 2
Another 5 kgs by October 31st (weight 64.5kgs)

Milestone 3
Another 5 kgs by December 5th (59.5kgs)

Week 1:
As much as I am normally really anti the whole shake-based diet thing, I really need a kickstart to see some results. So I am doing a week of the Celebrity Slim Rapid phase. I began today and am adding 'Nature's Way: Super Greens + Carob' supplements for extra nutrients. I intend to post here regularly for my own motivation if nothing else. 

Watch this space for progress.
Yours in hopeful motivation,

A x
