Well diet attempt number one has been a failure. I lost 2 kgs in 8-9 weeks. Not great but its a loss I guess. So I've been thinking of late that I need a bit more structure and exercise and to be a bit more disaplined. I'm so hopeless on my own as lately although I'm trying to diet I just have been eating what I want when I want it. So I've decided to scrap everything and start the whole diet again and try something different.
I weighed in at 122.1kg this morning. I'm still trying to lose as much as possible before January 2011. This time I'm aiming to lose 5 kgs at a time. So the first goal is 117.1 kg's. Every time I hit a 5kg goal Noel and I will celebrate somehow. Trying not to make it a food reward if possible.
So what am I doing differently this time.... well I joined the local Gym last week. EEEEEEk I know. I hate the Gym but I've come to the conclusion I need to suck it up and do some exercise. As soon as I joined last week I then promptly got the flue so couldnt go till this week. I also now have a personal trainer twice a week to help me get back into exercise. The first session is tomorrow. I'm very scared. I went today and did some cardio... almost killed me but I did it. I only made it to 35 minutes before my feet went to sleep on the xtrainer. I think it was my new sneakers which are really uncomfortable. Going to wear my old ones tomorrow and see if its that. Anyway I'm working my way up to an hour cardio a day so 35 minutes is a start.
The exercise plan being to work out twice a week with my trainer for 1/2 hour each session then on top of that work my way up to an hour cardio every day. By cardio I mean walking on the treadmill, going for a walk and light cardio like that. Just moving my big butt really.
Diet wise the trainer has advised me to start counting calories and eating healthy based. I have to write down what I eat each day and count the calories, protein, carbs etc. Its alot of work and I hate counting calories but I also have to suck that up too. I don't know how patient I will be doing this but I'm kind of used to writing down what I eat now. I'm not entirely sure how many calories a day yet I'm gonig to confirm that tomorrow with the trainer. I think its 1500 a day. Well thats what i've done pretty much today.
Anywhoo will keep posting what I eat and what I exercised each week and weigh in on Mondays.
Wish me luck tomorrow.
Eeek. Did I mention I'm scared... ahhhh gym... ahhhh

Change to goal posts! Motivation!!!!
You may notice if you have been following me that I've changed the goal posts at bit. I've moved the loss date to January and added 30 to 55kgs as the loss goal. Yes I know... I know... While its still completely unrealistic I need to have that massive goal in mind to keep perspective on how much I'm trying to lose. If I can lose at least 30kg of the 55kgs by January I might be able to start trying for a child then. I am meant to go in January/February after losing stacks of weight and have my hormone replacement thingo removed. My gino won't do that if I haven't lost at least 30kgs weight because there is the risk to my health due to the hormone imbalance.
Anyway assuming I've lost the weight and they remove the device then it will be a month or so before my period comes back to normal before we can start trying to get preganant. I can continue my diet and exercise during this time more realistically until I get pregant assuming I can. So when I say to January I mean I need to lose the bulk of my 55kgs before then not the whole lot. I'm not a complete idiot... well sometimes I am but not all the time. I know I might only lose half of the 55 kgs before January but still I can dream can't I. I'd rather get it over and done with quickly to be honest.
Anyway mentally I am going to start again basically from tomorrow morning as the last few weeks have been a bit of a disaster diet wise. I wouldn't even call what I've been doing bar the first 2 weeks dieting. Anyway lets leave that in the past and move forward.
So here goes nothing. I have 30 weeks till end of January from now. That means I need to lose 30 to 53kg in 30 weeks. So I will be happy with losses between 1kg to 1.77g a week.
How will I do that:
Firstly by changing my attitude and remotivating myself. Mentally I'm going to remind myself why I am doing this everytime I go to prepare food or eat food and see if that helps me make better choices.
Exercise... well alot... I am thinking I might do some Zumba, Walking and bike riding to start with. I think I might go for a bike ride today husband willing. I will up my exercise daily is the plan.
Diet.... I am going to go back to the drawing board and try and be a bit more flexible with my diet so I don't feel so restricted. Trying to follow a strick plan doesn't work for me obviously as I just rebel against it. I will have to contemplate that a bit more over the next week and try and come up with a better diet plan.
Anywhoo have a lovely rest of the day.

Loss to date: 2.1 kg
Well because we were in Australia Friday till Midnight Tuesday I didnt have my scales with me. So I couldn't weigh in till Wednesday. I was 122kg. In the last 6 weeks that means I've lost 2.1 kg. Its a joke really. I should have lost 6 to 12 kgs. What the hell have I been thinking. I'm not dieting at all really if you look at what I'm eating. I am not making any sacrifices and that is why I have not lost any weight. I don't mean to sound down on myself but I need a seriously large kick in the arse right now!
Ok kick in the arse done. I have resolved to leave the last few weeks in the past and move on from here.
Today things will change. I will change my mental attitude. I will get off my arse and do something about losing weight.
