Just wanted to pop in your diary to say hello because I don't think I've posted here yet. I hope you have a good weigh-in. But if you don't don't get discouraged.

Thanks
Its so easy to be disappointed from weigh in- Im trying to focus more on the healthy choices I make and feel positive about myself because of that.
 
3kg lost in three weeks? Impressive start, you're killing this! Especially when the fat comes off your belly; that's the hardest part for most of us.
 
Day 23

Not a bad day today. Ive eaten well. Need to exercise tomorrow. Nothing else to report
 
Day 24

So far today has been ok. Just made myself a nice lunch. Im not at all motivated to exercise today... One of those days id just like to snuggle under a blanket with a good book.

I have a heap of housework to do so I guess at keast that will keep me moving and Ill see where I go from there
 
It's one of those days here too! Housework is exercise Katy & there's nothing wrong with curling up with a good book.
 
...and the occasional day of snuggling and reading is helpful to reload empty batteries. As long as there aren´t too many cookies around, that is.
 
Day 25

slept in today so no time for exercise before work. Weather forecast for tomorrow is 26 and sunny so im hoping it will perk up my mood a bit. Also scares me because summers coming and I still dont fit into any of my warmer weather clothes... What am I going to wear to work. Its going to be soooooo nice when I can wake up and wear anything without worrying about my gut sticking out. This thought will be good motivation for a clean eating day today.

Todays aim eat clean
Go for a walk/ any other exercise after work
 
26?Very envious. It's freezing here today. We just decided we are not stepping out the door today. Enjoy it hon xo
 
Day 26

Yesterday was ok snuck in a quick walk before and after work and ate ok.
I have my lunch organised but no dinner so must resist the takeaway temptation tonight and hopefully the sun will still be out after work so I can get outside
 
They say it takes 21 days to form a habit.
You are on day 26 or 27.
You know what that means?
It means you are on your way!
You have done the hard part...you have made a good start. Now stay in the groove!
 
Day 27
Yesterday was pretty good ended up having sushi for dinner. About to get ready for work looking foward to a relaxing sleep in tomorrow. Going away for 2 nights on Sunday so tomorrow will cook my meals to take with me. Its relaxing being more organised with food and knowing that I will have at least 1 meal a day I dont have to think about.

Im excited and scared to see what the scales and measurements say this week so want to make the most out of the next 2 days
 
Well done for planning on being prepared. As brawny said you are forming new habits & they are good ones.
 
Day 28 ( feels more like day 100)

Need to cook my meals for my trip today, bought groceries yesterday so I am good to go.

I was trying on dresses last night trying to find something that might fit ok for the wedding Im going to in a few weeks. I found one that might work, I feel like Im showing a lot of lumps and bumps though and am dreading it especially because there are people going that I know will be judgemental of how I look.
I need some confidence building exercises!

Todays aims cook, pack and eat clean, ill weigh in tomorrow morning before I go away
 
Hey, hey!

My suggestion for the wedding - just focus on enjoying and not on what other's think. You are making changes, getting better, allow yourself to feel proud about what you've achieved so far. :)

One more thing, I see you are talking about habits - I recommend reading The power of habit. There's actually reference to weight loss in the book, it was useful to me, hope it helps.
 
Lena is right: even the few judgemental people who will generally think nasty things about other folks will be busy looking at the bride and the bridal party. And in an emergency shapewear works wonders on lumps and bumps :p
 
Thanks guys.... Ill do my best to focus on whats important

Day 29
Not going away.... Sigh
Theres a severe weather warning for all of Victoria- very windy so I didnt think it was safe to drive 3 hours- there are a lot of trees lining the roads, i find windy days very unsettling.

On a good note my meals are already prepared and weigh in today was good.
Down 1kg to 76kg
So far have gone from 80 to 76
Hoping to get another kg down this week. As I said before Ive tried to lose weight before but this time is different I believe I can succeed and now im just putting in the work and will be patiently waiting week after week until Im feeling fantastic
 
:iagree: with Lena & LaMa. "just focus on enjoying and not on what other's think. You are making changes, getting better, allow yourself to feel proud about what you've achieved so far."

If you have some spare time some time Katy check out a thread I started in here, to help with motivation & building self-esteem. I used to update it most days, depending on what I had read in people's diaries, but don't update it as much these days. There is lots of positive stuff here.
I think doing so helped me as much as anyone.
