This is the beginning.
We've started our official race to lose 5kgs.
I'm so sick and tired of being so thick around the middle and having such flabby arms. I used to be so skinny and seven kinds of hotness. It's not that i'm comparing myself to my friends and feeling fat, its not that I 'think' I'm fat. I am unhappy about my weight and figure, and I plan to do something about it.
Here's the plan::
Race to Lose 5kgs
800 calories/day to start with
1 hour exercise a day - you HAVE to make it up the next day if you don't
Every Sunday we weigh ourselves in and measure ourselves up, noting the differences.
We're keeping food diaries too.
My Startinf Measurements
Height:: 162cm
Weight:: 57kg
BMI:: 21.5
Goal Wight:: 49kgs - unless my period stops, then I'll back off a little
Bust:: 87cm
Waist:: 75cm ((See what i mean by THICK, no effin figure))
Hips:: 92 cm
Thighs:: 54.5 cm
Biceps:: 26.5cm
Also found out that whereas I thought I was a small-frame, nowadays I just assumed I was a medium. I'm actually a small frame. If your middle finger and thumb overlaps when you wrap it around your wrist, it means small frame.
Bless My Tiny Wrists!
Learnign alot today about calories and portion control etc.
Today, so far I had::
Steamfresh Veggies:: 27cals
Vegemite on Toast:: 200cals
4 glasses water:: that's arecord becuase I think this year I have prolly drunk in total about 3 bottle of water... I got the through the first one easy, had to force myself with the 2nd, but the last two have been easy.
I'm really proud of myself.
Tonight Gwynn and I are going Grocery shopping, with the little Calorie Counting book she has, and stock up on some good foods, especially negetive calory ones.
I am really craving some Celery and if I get a low fat dip, or yoghurt, it should help if I have any cravings. Thank goodness we have no crap food left in the house :)
I'm very excited.
Worked all day on Engagement invites and save the date magnets. I think I did an effin awesome job so HURRAH to me.
Overall I'm really proud of myself. Tim is excited, he's wanted me to diet for ages. I know i'm so ecstatic and positive now, I know it will get harder, but we have out little support group, so we'll be fine. I superimposed out heads onto immensely overweight women, and stuck them in the bathroom, just to remind ourselves to kep dieting, and also so keep it all a bit lighthearted :)
Well I'm off, gotta get Gwynn at the bus and then to Woolies.
Supernatural tonight - get my Dean-fix.
Xox ya'll
