Step 1: Health

This is my third round of 12wbt. I have had 32 kgs to lose in total. I've lost almost 20. I don't think that's very impressive for (almost) 3 rounds. I have slowly lost less and less weight and been less and less focussed with each round. Round 1 - 10kgs. Round 2 - I think around 6. And now, 2kgs. It's like I'm really bored with focussing on just my weight. When work falls apart, so do I. And my partner (who is a true supporter), is always advising me, "stick to the food, if you have to drop the exercise that's ok, but stick to the food and you'll succeed". Yes, that's all well and good, but I want to exercise. That's what I find fun & I want more of it. It feels like I am bored with focussing on weight loss. I feel like I needed something extreme to jilt me into my weightloss journey, which was the case when I was severely depressed with my life and my appearance. But now that I am more confident with my appearance, a

Things have got to change. I've had enough. I'm not getting anywhere I want to be any time soon. Work has gotten out of control and I'm in the boot of the car rather than the driver’s seat. It isn't right. I know better than this. I could handle my eating habits when I was an auditor. If I can survive that I can survive anything. It’s not that I’m eating terribly at all, it’s just that I can’t seem to stick to that magic 1200 calories number each day. And as such, I’m losing weight at a snail’s pace. I think I've un-learnt what to prioritise with and how to focus on the small steps. Instead I’m seeing this huge achievement I want to make, and feeling like it’s virtually impossible to conquer  right now. So, I need to get it back. I’ve lost almost 20 kilos, and I have just over 12 to go to get to my goal weight. I need to get out of the mindset of thinking "A kilo a week. I have to do it. All or nothing." Well, it’s not like I'm literally

Well lately I've been struggling. I don't want to be a pity party, but I've been sick (nice and dizzy and fatigued plus a pretty stagnant cold), moving house & unpacking, and dealing with our busiest time of year at work. To say the least I've been unorganised, inactive, and haven't been making the best food choices. I had actually been relying on Iced Coffee for breakfast. YUCK! I don't know why I do it, but I do. In my head it made sense because it was quick and easy and it was stilla round 300 calories. That's the philosophy of the program isn't it? Haha. NOT! You forgot to add in the nutritional factor Lauren. Anyway, I'd been relying on it for about a week. Yesterday morning I broke the cycle - brought in a tub of low fat yoghurt to work and mixed it with the muesli I keep in my desk drawer for when I haven't had brekkie at home. This morning, however, was a different story. I brought the yoghurt, knowing I had another serve of mue
