Fit and food low down - check in

I have lost 6kg! Oh my! I am surprised.

This week another 1.4kg bit the dust..... dun dun dun.... another one bites the dust (hehe)

I went for 2 good walks and tried to up my exercise in general. I've had several appointments in the mornings which have interfered with my goal of walking every week day.

I still want to get to that goal.

I am stoked to see the scales going down as I started to wonder why it seemed progress has slowed. I added the extra exercise and it has helped.

I even had a small helping of icecream one night and this didn't interfere. Several weeks in I always remember why I love eating so well, my body feels so alive. I feel thin on the inside (the outside still has to catch up) and just strong and healthy.

Anyway I still have 8kg to be at my first goal but I want to go about 3kg less than that. So 10-11kg to go!

Getting there! Hopefully a couple of months will see me much closer to my goal.

So there you have it. I could start my own 'arnaharrisbikinibodychallenge' hehehe snicker snicker.

Ps. I do NOT have a bikini body even in the slightest ;-)

Running..... how's that working for you?

haha.  I've just read this great book on parenting.  It is one of THE best books I have ever read on the subject - and I am quite a reader.

The guy has this quote that he uses, at the most hilarious times - "How's that working for you?"  like say his kids are brawling and one comes in sobbing for a sympathy vote - in discussion he says, and what could you do to your brother?  son says "punch him," dad replies "and how's that working for you?"

It sounds a bit crazy - you'll have to read the book ;-)

Anyway, I was meant to begin the great running game last week.  Notice I said meant to.  Because I didn't.

I have lots of reasons, but really they are all excuses.

BUT.
I didn't get the podcasts loaded onto my iPod until Tuesday.  Then on Tuesday, I thought my princess Adelaide had broken her wrist.  I spent Tuesday and Wednesday doing EVERYTHING for her (as well as a couple of trips to white cross etc).  Then it was Thursday.  It rained.  Anyway, the rest of the week flew past. I have been eating terribly for about 2 weeks, which does not motivate me to run in any sort.  As in, I don't normally eat bread, and I myself have probably consumed 2 loaves in the last 2 weeks.... not to mention the icecream, caramel everything and so on.  You'd think I'm pregnant.  And, I'm not.  hehe.

So, I am pondering a 30 day challenge coming up soon.  Anyway, I am inevitably going to try and start the running this week.  It just happens that the podcasts that I managed to load go from couch to 5k in 8 weeks instead of 9.  So I will still reach my goal when I wanted to - provided I actually begin this week!

Now I just need to switch off my desperate cravings for baking & eating it all!

More on succeeding at that some other time......

still a battle everyday!  don't want to live that way forever!  hey food, I'm supposed to rule over you.  So help me God!  ;-)
