Last year's blog was a big help to me so I though I'd start another one for the new year!
Last year had it's ups and down weight loss wise and sad to say mainly gains for me! But that's all behind me and now I am flipping determined to change my lifestyle for the better! I turn 29 this year and I don't want to be in my current situation when I hit 30.
Operation Fit for Thirty starts now! :angel:
I have opted to follow Weight Watchers again as this was the most successful route for me with steady and regular weight loss. I'd love for my weight to decrease rapidly overnight but that's never going to happen! :wink: Slow and steady wins the race and as I have a lot of weight to lose, I'm hoping that a gradual loss will also help me change my whole eating habits for the better in the long run.
I will admit I did look into meal replacement as my willpower with food is not brilliant, but I'm scared to loose a lot of weigh quickly and be left with lots of sagging skin :frown: I don't want to have to have plastic surgery! Not for me.
I digress, this week has been a very good start. OH has been supportive and we have been taking Jasper out for extra long walks in the evening, which is earning around 3 activity points! Although I am determined not to use these extra points as I feel it defeats the purpose of exercise! Without great difficulty (so far!) I have been actively swapping junk for healthier alternatives and feeling the benefits! Hoping I can keep this momentum going.
I have worked out that it is 14 weeks until my birthday, which if I can have a steady loss of 2lbs per week would mean I'd be 2 stone lighter! This would be amazing but even 1 stone off by then will feel great.
Here's to a healthier 2014!
