~Manda's Weight Loss Diary

[~Manda~]

Ok, so here begins my journal. Hopefully this keeps me honest and on track with loosing the weight.

So, my journey began last week. Sunday to be exact, after I'd weighed myself and weighed 101.6kg. It was a huge shock, as the last I'd weighed myself I was 79kg. I knew I'd put on weight, but I didn't realise it was that much! Anyway....

A week later (today) I jumped on the scales again and I'm down to 99.2kg. Needless to say I was incredibly impressed! 2.4kgs gone!

And to be 100% honest, I haven't really done that much to try and lose it. I've made a few simple changes like swapping all cordials, soft drink etc. for water, a multi-vitamin every morning and swapped take -out night from maccas to subway. As for exercise....pffft...what exercise. I didn't do any this week! Well, actually I tell a lie, i sat on my fit ball instead of the couch during my favourtie show.

I think that lazy week was just the kick start I needed. I mean, if I can loose 2.4kgs with that little change, imagine what would happen if I actually got my arse for at least 30 mins every day!

Well, I got another week ahead of me, so for now, it's off to walk the dog!

This week I had a bad week. Just did my weigh in and I've gained 600g. Not a huge gain, but it's not the loss that wanted. So I'm up to 99.8kg now.

I guess the engagement party I went to last week, and my friends 37th birthday last night took it's toll!

But, no point sitting around getting depressed about it! Now I'm on to a new week, I've set a new challenge. 30min walk and 30min exercise when I get home. (i.e. Step Ups on my aerobic step, squats, sit ups etc...) I'm going to do this once everyday for this week and see how I feel by the end of the week and what the scales say next Sunday.

Hi there, Manda.

Grats on starting a journal. I love this quote! I've been saying the same thing for a week. Time to get off my arse!

It looks like you have a great attitude going into this plan, especially in terms of not letting little slip ups derail you. Good luck on your new challenge!
