I still don't think I'll make my goal for London, which is too bad, but this is giving me every bit of fighting-spirit I need to keep trying and that counts for a lot more! Continuity is my new friend and guiding star.

YEY ME!!! Really weird though since I didn't work out a lot last week and yesterday I had pancakes for lunch AND almost an entire pizza for supper... =S Hopefully I'll keep loosing at this pace now for a while, but maybe I'll be disappointed in only one week's time...

Enough Already!!!

Sick -- again!!! Am I making stuff up or wasn't I just sick? Now I'm out in another nasty cold and I absolutely HATE it! I'm not made for being sick. And especially not when I had worked up such a good feeling about changing things, which is necessary when you're me...

So, body--you brought this on yourself! Payback is a'coming and it won't be the least bit fun, but the blame is all on you.

In April we're going to London and doing some really great things and I need to work for it, to deserve it. So, I made a schedule for my work-out and if I don't follow it through, I won't get my reward. Since I am both lazy and competitive, this should work... =)
My own little challenge, that I hope to really turn up as time goes, is this to start with: a minimum of carbs (no potatoes, bread, rice, pasta) and no sweets, cookies, sodas or snacks. There are great alternatives and I need to learn to pick them instead!

Then there's the part with exercise, my weeks will look as follows to start with (this is the minimum amount!):
Mondays: Swimming, 1 kilometer + home work-out
Tuesdays: Running, 1 kilometer
Wednesdays: Swimming, 1 kilometer + home work-out
Thursdays: Running, 1 kilometer
Fridays: Swimming, 1 kilometer + home work-out
Saturdays: Running, 1 kilometer
Sundays: free

I must throw out a huge THANK YOU to two very special people: Johanna --thanx for the inspiration, you're awesome! And Johan: I may think you're a pain sometimes, but somehow you know that's exactly what I need... =)

The goal is to loose at least 1 kilo every week, but most of all: follow through! The results will come, if not now, then later on. But only if I follow through!!! I must be harder on myself and I will give it these 4/5 weeks and my reward will make it all worth it, so will the results. I will take pictures of how I look today and then after these 4 weeks and throw them up here... Maybe, if I dare, I should say... =)

I really want to make this happen, I want to be able to walk tall and proud next to Anders and let me tell you: I made a fantastic catch there!!! He's soooo out of my league, luckily for me: he doesn't know how great he looks! Hopefully I'll level with him before he notices... =) All jokes aside, I need to feel a lot better about myself and soon.

The reward will be revealed AFTER London--so stay tuned!

Second Weigh-In

Oups, I've forgotten to publish this weeks weigh-in, two days late, but I'll do it anyways...

Weight: 101,1 kilos (222,89 lbs)
Result week 2: -1,6 kilos (3,52 lbs)

SOOOO freaking happy! But I guess next week will show a stand-still since there are only 4 days to go and I'm gonna work 2 of them...
Still really, really proud though!

First Weigh-In!

I've been soooo nervous for today, first weigh-in and on a not so good week for me. I work as a telephone-operator at an alarm-central, which means that I pretty much sit or stand in the same spot for 12 hours/day. We have a good week and a less good week... The good week we work Wednesday and Thursday and the less good week we work the other five days and this has been such a week, except that I was sick last Monday.
But I've done 36 hours now since Friday morning and it isn't easy being good when it comes to eating, usually this is where I just throw down whatever sweet I can find when I go shopping. I usually eat fast-food for lunch and lots and lots of chocolate to keep the sugar-levels up all day, since we don't get a break during the week-end shifts. But I've been SO good this time!!! I'm so stupidly proud over myself! I've made food at home and brought with me, no carbs, and instead of all the candy I've brought carrots and oranges and also I've had lots of tea. Good work me!
But still, it's been a week of NO exercise whatsoever and long days doing nothing but answering the phone, not great in a weight-loosing perspective...

So, this morning, the scale and me. An awkward silence and some sort of staring competition... Then I just got on it and it really felt like I had gained a lot and also it's that time of the month, so I was sure of I'd get a bad result. Looked down:

Weight: 102,7 kilos (226,41 lbs)
Result week 1: -0,3 kilos (0,66 lbs)

Not great, but considering the week I've had, I'm gonna be pleased with that and hopefully it gives me motivation to speed things up in the week ahead of me. More walking is a must!!!
Have to get back to my tea now and then go to work for a few hours extra...
