Week?

It has been a while since I last wrote something. I have been having moodswings and a difficult time leaving bad food aside. On the other hand, I have been doing quite well from last tuesday onwards. It is friday today, okay that's not even a week but it motivated me to post something.

It was Queensday last weekend, so I had a couple of beers, had loads of sweets and cookies. When I got on the weighing scale tuesday morning I was 71 kg again. I was so ashamed. Especially because I got so far a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure what the exact weight was but I think I weighed 68 or something. Now I was 71 again, more or less where I started! There were two reasons (I see them as bad excuses) for that: holidays and not being able to exercise due to not having enough time. I should be disciplining myself more, like walking to work experience again. I stopped doing that about two weeks ago. I fixed my bike and I think you will agree with me when I say that it is so tempting to stay in bed for 30 minutes longer when you can take a bike instead. Every night I go to bed telling myself you will and you are getting up at 07.45. But once my alarm clock goes off I keep on snoozing it 'till it's 08.15 and it's too late for me to go on foot.

I am forcing myself to go to the gym at least 2-3 times a week and I have been able to keep that promis to myself. I'm not able to go to the gym during the weekends so I have got 5 days left during weekdays. In which I see my friends on one day and the other I either need to babysit, I see my parents or I have got other compulsary things to do. I try to do things by bike as much as possible. Sometimes that means I am cycling 20 km in just one evening. For example when I am going to see my parents. I do eat healthy (except for the cravings every now and then when I finish a whole pack of cookies in half an hour). I eat two pieces of fruit every day. I eat enough vegetables. I pick out the healthier things, such as light or soya yoghurt instead of normal yoghurt. I don't drink any soda, when I do I drink tomatojuice, which is good for you. Things like that.

Anyway, I got on the weighing scale this morning. 69 kg. WIN!! I have started taking pictures of myself. So that I can make a short movie out of them. Showing others what I achieved once I get to the 65 kg. Or 62. Or 60, whatever my goal is going to be in the end. Secretively I would like to weigh 63 again. Yet anything under 65 is fine as well. We'll see. Also I have noticed that the 'before and after' pictures are very motivating for me. Just seeing what others have achieved. If they can do it why shouldn't it be working for me?! Right?!
