Well today is a VERY good day .... my weight has dropped out of the 120kgs range and into the 100-teens i.e. 119.4kg! No more 120something where I have been for at least a year. I was 119.9 late last week and this morning I am 119.4 and I feel so good about it. Initially when I first started this journey back in January, I said my first major goal was to be 119.9kg by my birthday in late April. Well I have just under six weeks to go to my birthday and I made goal number one! Let's see if I can get to 115kg in 5wks. In 2008 I had lost 15kg and was 115.8 for a friend's wedding, and of course I whacked all the weight back on again due to personal reasons. Also a next goal could be to say I've lost 15kg, the current weight of my 3yo son!!! And boy, I groan when I pick him up of late!!!! LOL
Energy levels are picking up every day and the god damned tummy overhang is shrinking and not as cumbersome as it has been for years on end. When I walk up the stairs, I don't feel that weighsome overhang that I had to drag everywhere. Well, its still there, well and truly, but not as heavy.
Energy wise, its getting better every day! Last week I cleaned up the pantry and on Saturday I weeded at least two sections of our backyard. The biggest section of our back yard has yet to be done, thats all set for a good dosing of weed killer!!! My gosh its simply too feral for me to weed!
AND my biggest 'achievement' is ... I have started to add jogging into my morning walks as of this morning. I know weeks ago I spoke of jogging to my music DVDs where no one can see me. But this morning I started jogging in segments on my walk home from school this morning. I'm not game to jog up the big hills as yet but for three segments of my walk, I JOGGED!!
Back to motherhood, we have recommenced toilet training ... no accidents yet but he won't sit on the potty for more than five seconds. Oh its going to be a lonnnnnng week ;0)
Congratulation Janelle for getting into the teens - I also made into the teens last week and it is a really great feeling.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the jogging - I also have started jogging and know who hard it is to move...bit by bit it is slowly (and I mean slowly) getting easier.
Ohhh to toilet training - I have an 18mth son and I am so not looking forward to this part....good luck.
