A new week and new goals

Well, last week was a bit of a disaster, and I’ve recorded my first ever gain – 1 kg this week. Not at all surprising since I ate pizza, cake and even some twisties over the weekend, and had a troubled exercise routine due to classes being cancelled (again!) and being away for a few days. I did try and exercise whilst away – I managed to get in 1 running session on the treadmill – but the gym at the hotel had serious problems – only one piece of machinery worked and everyone queued for it! Any way – upon reflection – I’ve been dieting for 7 months now, not surprising I guess that I would need to “break out” at some stage.

But I’ve decided that I need some new “mini goals” to motivate me. I bought some gorgeous clothes the other day (yes more) and bought a size 10 plum polka dot shirt. It’s a bit too small for me (the buttons gape) but I would love to be able to wear it for my birthday in 2 weeks. So I am going make a concerted effort to lose 2 kgs in 2 weeks, by returning to tracking EVERYDAY (not guesstimating), avoiding all little treats, and drinking my 2 litres of water everyday, and a full exercise schedule.

My points for today – 16.5 (a bit low I know, but it may make up for the weekend)
Exercise – 1 hr Combat Training
Water – 1.5 litres so far
Treats – none

Here are some photos of all my new clothes – I bought matching sets of work/casual clothes in plum and grey from Tempt in Adelaide (my new favourite store) – and I looove them all (even if they don’t all fit yet!)

Hi Lisa :o)
Good on you for the positive attitude on "breaking out". I'm still working on forgiving myself for doing that, but i guess thats all part of changing our lifestyles - changing our thinking most importantly.
Your before photos look sooooo differant to how you look now! How many kilos have you lost?
And it's awesome that you can nearly fit a size 10 skirt. I don't think i've ever worn a size 10 skirt, so i couldn't imagine how that might feel! Good on you, you are doing fantastic! :o)

Well done on your weightloss. I've enjoyed reading your blog. As for buying clothes - hell yes. Use every tool at your disposal to keep you motivated.

Just curious - how much of a shortie are you. I'm 5'2".

I beat you on the "shortie" status Lee-anne - I'm 5.0 - the proverbial measuring stick
