This was written on Friday morning before we left for our camping trip :

So after a lengthy discussion this morning with fiance this morning, I have found my very own Personal Trainer/Nutritionist - my fiance :)

We ended up having a big fight last night. Which explains the big talk this morning. About 2 years back, I lost allot of weight. I weighed 93 kg which was my heaviest and I went down to 60kg which was my lightest. I lost over 30kg and I felt great. During this time, i was with my fiance and he helped me through it. He supported me when I was low and helped me try make the best out of my food choices. Having said this, it wasn’t always that pretty. We had allot of arguments because I felt like the kid at times being told not to take another cookie from the cookie jar. Then at the end of every week when I did my weigh in, I was jumping up and down because I consistently lost 1.5 - 2 kgs every single week. I had a hard time admitting he was right.

So last night I wanted to have eat a hotdog at10pm. I was moody and on my period so I thought I had the right to demand food. Goodness, when I think back to it, I feel bad for my fiance when I am actually on my period. My emotions are all over the place.

The talk this morning really helped. He helped to show me why I haven’t been losing the last month. Basically it is because I am eating too much. My workouts are excellent but I replenishing my body with excessive calories so I cannot see the change in my weight.

I have roughly 100 days to go till the 2nd November. My PT (fiance) has warned me that I am going to feel that these next 100 days are going to be mentally and physically tough. I will not be able to eat allot and when we are with friends I will not be able to drink. My last 50 days haven’t worked out so well for me so I am going to give his theories a try.

Notes:

- All food is planned and eaten according to set times.

- Portion control is the key. Hand-sized versions of food will be eaten at each meal. Keeping in mind of course a calorie count.

- Exercise daily.

- Weigh in every Sunday, as plannned.

This plan is simple and at the same time is going to challenge me for the next 100 days. 100 days ?? That doesn’t sound too bad right ? I can do this. Let the countdown begin!

Sunday, 27th July 2008:
Don’t ask me why but I thought it would be a good idea to go on a camping trip with some friends. So on Friday we bought tents and sleeping bags and went camping. It was so crazy, had like 30 min to pack and get ready and off we went. It was an hours drive out of Oslo city and the place was beautiful. I was worried about how I would do with my 100 day plan. However, I ate when I was hungry and not large amounts. I even had wine but not more than a glass.

So you can imagine my surprise when I got on the scale just minutes ago and I found out that I lost weight this week. I lost a kilo. Which is FABULOUS! I am really happy and motivated now and I want to see this through. So excited! Will write more tomorrow, exhausted from the trip ….
