So easy to put it on....so hard to take it off!

It feels as though I have been exercising and dieting for months but it has only been a couple of weeks since I started seriously. The results are good but I want to see more dramatic changes. I guess I'm getting a little impatient.

I'm also feeling a little low at the moment because of money troubles.
So, instead of whinging about that, I'm going to show you some of the presents that we have received for our engagement party and some other random photos.

Dieting is hard

Yes, I am still doing well with the exercise, pretty much an hour brisk walk every day. My sister drops by around 8am and walking with her makes the time go fast. It is a beautiful walk. Along the pathway next to the beach and around a small cliff and back again. This time of year is a little brisk but that's a good thing because it makes you walk faster. Lol.

I don't think I would go as far on my walk if I didn't have my sis along with me. So, if you want to get motivated, go with someone that will push you and be consistent on the days you would rather stay in bed!

I'm still having some naughty slip ups. I had some (a couple of handfuls) Doritos the other day when I was feeling stressed. I also had a small post-mix coke at the bowling alley when I was feeling mad. hmm the connection here is bad mood. Reminder to Kelly, learn how to deal with stress better.

I have only been walking most mornings and doing weights three times a week but the weight has been coming off, thank goodness. I think I'll start doing pilates to get in and do some extra toning.

No photos at the moment but will definitely start posting them again.

Scales moving in the right direction!!

Yipeee!!!! Have only been dieting and exercising seriously since Wednesday and have lost 1kg already.

Feeling pretty proud of myself.

Hope I can keep the momentum going for the next four weeks until the party. Then I'm hoping I will be motivated by the changes in the clothes I can wear and the habit of exercise will have kicked in. Guess we'll find out.

Tired and Sore

Rolled out of bed this morning and went for a 40 minute walk. Along the way, I stopped 3 times to do step ups on really, really high seats. The first time I did 10 each leg, the second 15 and the third, 20.

Then when I got home and looked up what weights I had to do today....it was lower body. Yep. That's right. Lunges, squats ahhhhh!!!!!!

My legs are a little sore now. I can just imagine what they will feel like tomorrow.

Very proud of myself cause have avoided junk and caffeine today. Wasn't easy but I distracted myself by visiting my sister and drinking lots (and lots) of water.


goodnight
