Tammie's Diary

Six weeks ago (or so) I set myself a 12 week goal to lose the remainder of the weight I have been fighting with for the last 5 years or more.

I've done pretty well, but have different snack attack phases throughout each month which blow the numbers back up and I sooo want this to be a lifelong change.

I have 47 days remaining of my goal achievement time, and that's why I'm here - to force myself into being accountable and to support others so that it makes me login every day and keep up to speed.

Weight to Lose
Current Weight = 67.5kg
Goal Weight = 55kg
To Lose = 12.5kg

Timeframe
I have another 47 days
Approx 1.8kg per week

Methods Used
I am exercising twice each day
Leaving the car at home as much as possible
Reducing portion sizes and type of food eaten

Support Needed
This forum, and my regular activity on it, will support me.
My husband is also supportive and we have agreed to encourage each other NOT to veg out or eat food we don't normally eat when he is home for a week at a time.

Realism
My goal is becoming LESS realistic.
It was realistic when I started, but my odd fluctuations or slip-ups throughout have made it less achievable.
However - I will keep the goal as it is as it won't be the end of the world if I don't reach it, I will be happy with a regular, small steady weight loss as long as I feel good and healthy and know that I'm eating well and exercising regularly.
That inner-glow is reward enough!

When To Start
Tomorrow morning I will be back to normal and back into healthy eating / daily exercise.

Watch this space then!

46 Days To Go...

Thank you Margene for your support - it's so nice to read encouraging words like that, I appreciate it :D

Well, I knew today would be an off-day, but it's all part of the bigger picture and something that will happen forever, so I remembered not to get disheartened and give up.

Off to bed relatively early tonight, get back on track and see if I can knock off these kilos before my goal date comes around in six weeks.

Week 6 / Day 5 tomorrow - and I'm raring to go :)

45 Days To Go

I did well today!

I've eaten healthily, I've stayed organized at home and with work (well, luckily I had no work to do today so it was just as well) and ended up with a pretty stressful day, lots of driving, dragging the poor kids with me when they're on holidays as some unexpected appointments came up.

However - what I DID do was think carefully. I went out with my diary and all my paperwork but not my handbag or backpack and no snacks or drinks because I thought we'd be quick. We ended up having to go to the shops for some office stuff so I bought the kids a Boost smoothie as they were hungry and thirsty and I went to the supermarket to get myself a bottle of water and a mini pack of dried apricots. I always feel so so good when I don't succumb to temptation. I hate the mall at the best of times and try to only shop twice each month but usually "reward" myself with something disgustingly fattening - not today, I did well.

Anyway, home now, so I'm going to make our healthy dinner and then chill out tonight - not going to work on the computer, all work can wait until tomorrow, I am regaining control of this monster called life / work / motherhood etc :)

43 Days To Go

Last couple of days have been pretty difficult for one reason or another, but all is going well on the exercise / nutrition side of things so that's great - helps me to stay on track of everything else in life if I know I'm on top of my self-management, I always feel in a much better frame of mind. That in itself is worth more to me than any amount of weight lost.

That said, I think I've lost weight again too which is excellent, but I'll wait until Saturday to check in with the scales.

Not much to say today, very tired and it's too late to be sitting at the computer so I'll check in tomorrow.
