Sorry for this, I’m probably going to give you more information that you really ever needed to know. It made me happy so I thought I would write about it (feminine ‘issues’ on the horizon - you have been warned!).
My change in diet and decision to lose weight was not just because it would make [...]

So, my daily exercise really isn’t that hard. As Carl (the personal trainer I saw yesterday) said, the next few weeks the work I’ll be doing is basically to get me fit enough to do ‘proper’ exercise… this is more simple building of strength and stamina. It’s rather embarrassing just how unfit I am, I [...]

So I weighed myself this morning, and I have lost 3.5lb’s. Calorie counting works, yay!
I’m really pleased about the loss, mainly because I did only a minimal amount of exercise. I’m starting doing exercise everyday now so hopefully this will help with the gradual reduction. But it’s nice to have solid proof that my diet [...]

So I finally got to meet with the personal trainer I mentioned earlier, he was very helpful so I’ll be seeing him once a week until I head off to Uni to do my postgrad. Only annoying thing is I won’t see him for another fortnight as on Monday I’m to go off on holiday [...]

It happened again! There I was innocently flicking through the 3FC forums, only to stumble across another quote that struck my fancy.
“How does one become a butterfly?” she asked pensively.
“You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.”
~ Trina Paulus, Hope for the Flowers
This was at the [...]

Apparently my family has just decided they can’t be bothered to cook tonight and so we’re all going to the local pub to share a mixed seafood platter… well how on earth am I meant to count the calories in that?!?

So I’ve been controlling the urge to weigh myself again until a week has passed from me starting this… that way there will hopefully me a measurable difference (my scales only work to the pound)… but I’ve had have this niggling urge all the time!
Grrrrr.
It shall not win!

I stumbled across this quote by Mary Anne Radmacher and I have to say I find it really inspiring. I’m sure many others have come across it before, but I definitely want this ’stuck up on the wall’ as it were.
Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the [...]

I love baking. Love, love, love. Unfortunately it’s not really the sort of hobby that is helpful when trying to lose weight. This makes me sad.
There is a glimmer of light in the distance however. I just stumbled across Oh She Glows blog (link in my blogroll), which has a nice selection [...]

I got a call back from a local private gym/personal trainer set up (it had been a week since I called them I didn’t think I was going to hear back from them) however, I’ve now got an appointment to go in and see them on Friday - hopefully it will be helpful. This of [...]
