Day 1. A New Day

Sigh. I'm back and ready this time. It's been a tough couple of months and of course, I turned to junk for comfort and gained some more weight. A part of me wanted to wait till January to do this, but I realized that not starting now would be a big mistake. With that knowledge, I decided to do this again, starting today.

My goal at the moment is to lose 16kg and then see what to do next. Based on my previous experience that should take about 10 weeks. I have therefore decided to do the Step 1 program on the Cambridge Weight Plan for 12 weeks/84days. This allows me 3-4 products a day.

I can and will do this, so help me God.

Restart!

After so many fails, I've finally got my head back in the game. Thank God! Losing weight is always the easy part guys. Once you begin to enjoy the parties, outings and late night snacking... there's the tendency to slack off.

It's all fun and games till that favorite pair of jeans don't fit anymore. That was when I snapped out of my lazy streak. I have been a comfortable UK12 since last year November, so imagine how jolted I was out of my reverie when I realized that my UK14s were beginning to become snug.

Well, sometimes that's all a girl needs to kick her butt into gear. I resumed the Cambridge Weight Plan today at 88kg. Better late than never, right?

So, the plan is to stay on the diet till I get to 64kg this time. Yep. I plan on losing 24kg. Dear Lord!

Wish me luck. I'm sure gonna need it.

This is Hard!!

I'm struggling here. I keep falling off the wagon on Day 3. Can't tell if my hormones are working against me here. Resumed the gym after a two-week break today and the experience was a millimeter away from hell. I don't remember the last time I felt like I was gonna die. Finished my session feeling like I was going to puke on my personal trainer.

Anyhoo, I began visiting the dietitian just to keep me on track, since everything else seems to be backfiring on me.

I'm going to try again from tomorrow and this time I'm not going to stop till I get the prize.

Time To Get Serious

So I got a little lazy and gained some weight. To be honest, I'm not upset about it. I'm actually thankful that I'm still a long way from where I started.

That being said, it's time to get the extra weight off pronto.

Serious business starts from tomorrow, and I'm going to use the Cambridge Weight Plan to shed the 10kg that needs to go.

Wish me luck.

Maintenance is Hard.

Yes. Maintaining the weight loss can be pretty daunting, especially when you've been 80lbs overweight for as long as you can remember. Sometimes, fear grips you when you see the scale moving in an upward direction even after a relaxing day out with friends. 

Sometimes, I remind myself that a day off will not bring me back to square one if I do the right thing 99% of the time and exercise like I'm supposed to do.

That being said, my weight is still hovering between 75kg and 80kg. I'm my happiest at 78kg, but wouldn't mind going down to 74kg or lower. The current plan is to come down to 74kg, and then decide what to do next.

It does feel good to not be obese.
