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.

  1. Your goal is admirable.... but not realistic girl!
    aim for 1 kilo a week, and don't be upset if you have a gain here and there too.
    If you set unrealistic goals you are only setting yourself up for failing.
    I know... cos I've done it to myself over and over again.
    Hang in there.. it will come off it you do it right.
