Evening Chaps!

Day two has been a success. I have done a 2.5km walk (and discovered the neighbours have some very growly dogs!) and eaten well – salad with salmon for dinner. Yum!

Feeling good and looking forward to another aqua class tomorrow night.

Well, hello there.

Welcome one, welcome all, to the Day One of the Journey of Awesomeness. Today has been busy, deciding to take the bull by the horns and become accountable for the portlyness that has become my waistline. I have decided to finally make a proper effort, pay attention to input and output, and get healthy.

I am making a blog so I am accountable (even if it is just to someone living in an obscure wee country – hello!) for my actions – I plan on reporting weekly, but it may be more frequent. Who knows, this is my first attempt at one of these things.

So, I think it fitting to start with some statistics.

Weight: 129.2kg (holy crap!)
Measurements
Bust: 133cm
Waist: 126cm
Hips: 147cm
Upper Arm: 46cm
Thigh: 80cm

And some goals. I know that the weight needs to come off slowly to stay off, so I am thinking that between 500 grams and 1kg per week is realistic. I want to be able to achieve goals to keep myself motivated. I don’t have a goal weight in mind – I think if I can do 3kg by the end of the month then that is a start. Will review at the end of August.

So, how to attack this:

Food – I eat fairly healthily, but I definitely need to look at portion control. I have decided one or two treats per week will be the go.

Exercise: Here we go. Mondays – AquaFit Class. Tuesdays – 2.5km walk (to the end of the road and back). Wednesdays – AqusFit Class. Thursdays – Gym. Fridays – Swim. Saturdays – Zumba Class. Sundays – The Day Off.

So, today is Monday. I have been to the Aquafit Class. My arms hurt so it must have done something! Next class – up the intensity.

Weeee! Skinnyness here I come!!
