I Guess I Wasn't Angry Enough!: Month One, Day 1 Re-Dux

It has been a while. Much water has passed under the bridge--and through my system.

I went to the doctor last week--Thursday 15 November--which is a year, 2 months and 15 days later only to have gone, according to the doctor's (electronic) scales, up to 111.4kg. This was strange, because I had been weighing myself (and tracking by way of a chart), and I was definitely less than 110kg. I had managed to go down to 105 kg at the beginning of the year, and had predicted going down to 100kg by June this year.

Alas, it wasn't to be. Apart from sporadic illnesses, I got complacent--and I'm pretty much back to square one.

I guess the import of all this is the blatant honesty I think I need to get my weight down.

I think it's important to keep it simple now. I don't need a gym. The folks purchased a few months ago equipment (arms, whatnot) that is much more than a gym for the home. So if I'm still this weight, it's down to ME. They exercise quite regularly, and I'm always making excuses.

Maybe I'mnot cut out for exercises. Maybe I am.

What I do know is that I grew hopelessly lazy, and took advantage of the rain to say that I would exercise later.

I know better now. I'm necessarily taking a laid-back approach to this weight loss, whilst contemporraneously getting serious about it.

Immediate STOPS:

no late-night nibbling before bed

no walking and eating!

(I like my cashews after a day's work!)

TO DO (plenty more!!)

Take my dog for brisk walks at night

Walk more briskly

wake up at 5 am to exercise

resume sit-ups / pressups

drink at least 3 litres of water every day

eat everything in moderation!

Let's start with that and get back to see how far I've gone.

It starts today--and right now!!

Sometimes it feels like this! : Month 12: Day 15

Yeah. It's been a while. I was supposed to be here at the beginning of August, but I got to cleaning clutter around my desk, and at home instead. Either way, technically speaking, it's Month 11, but I suppose people have justifiably not been following. Oh well, things will pick up.

My scales started going wonky on me this morning. It looked like I had droppe half a kilo or so, and wanted to weigh a few more times to get the average. Regrettably, the scales stopped at "40" after I had stepped down!

Quadruple ouch and all that!

Thankfully, I'm a whisker away from payday, so I'll have to budget it. Pooh. Oh well. Better to be monitoring my weight for the price of some $2.30 scale, than fooling myself into thinking I am losing!!

A very necessary sacrifice--unless by some miracle, the scales decide to work...

I'm currently at 106.5kg. Regrettably went up and down, and sometimes more up than down:-(

Month 8, Day 20: Turning Thirty, Losing the Weight

I turn thirty in some six days. Just learnt that a relative--a contemporary of mine--was hit by a car last night. He must have been around my age Possibly one or two years older than me.

All this goes to compound the importance of seeking to improve oneself whilst I am alive.

I am glad to say that I have lost FIVE kilos in three months, which should mean if I carry on this way, I should lose FIVE more kilos by June, and be the cynosure of many a woman's eye;-)) Even though I have and want Sandra, it doesn't mean other women can't look at me;-))

My formula since January has been PLENTY of cider vinegar, hot water, which I have been having since I developed a bad cough in December/In fact, I noticed that I was feeling a bit less stocky some hours before the New Year, and felt it was a positive development for the year.

I have not been disappointed. I am sad to say that, indeed, my PROPER exercising has fallen because of the laziness associated with this type of weight loss. I have been wallking almost a kilometre a day, so that's something.

Nonetheless.

The battle to combat fat, and become the slimmest possible continues! I recently -- this week in fact -- bought a tub of choco pasta, which I have taken almost a few days to almost-finish! Ouch!!

Best not get complacent!!

BTW, I am

105kg!!
