I’m hoping to turn in to something really pretty!

Ok, so I got my weight/study planner calender today!  Geeky… yes, but it should help me out.  So, since I’m weighing myself every day today’s was 152.6 (at least a little better than the 11st shocker yesterday, but still up from last official weigh in).  I’m going to keep those official weigh ins too so I can track progress easier, and also my page would look too full otherwise!

Will and I had a good chat last night because I was feeling pretty down about everything.  He admitted that he’d thought 5 days a week on Wii Fit is too difficult because since I work for 2 I have to do it every single other day, and sometimes things just don’t work out like that.  And he’s right - I haven’t managed it (apart from my first good week).  I want to use the gym as well, but since I’m doing so much studying etc. around class time I don’t want to be working at uni until 5 and then going to the gym straight after (which is also on campus), I need a break!  I don’t know if any of you guys have this issue but once I’m at the gym its fine, its the thought of walking 40 minutes there and back, often in the rain and cold, it puts me off!  SO, we’ve agreed that I go to the gym once or twice a week for a 3 hour block, and he’ll either pick me up or drop me off, so then I only have to walk one way.

We created a bit more of an action plan as well, which is basically along the lines of finding ways to reduce portions, conditioning myself to stop craving food just for the sake of eating and not because I’m hungry, and to eat more slowly so I fill up better.  Also to keep drinking water, but I do pretty well with that anyway.

So, while I’m not feeling hugely motivated today, the action plan should keep me on track; I’ll let you know next time.  Also, tonight’s a kind of treat anyway - we’re going out to celebrate our third anniversary :D  So, tonight I might even have dessert!  (The actual day is tomorrow but we cant go out tomorrow, so hey - day early!)

Oh and P.S. 20 days without chocolate!
