Less than 4 weeks to go...

And to be honest...don't know about how many kilos...I haven't gotten on the scales. I don't think that it is more...but I have a feeling that it isn't less. Ahhhh, it just ain't happening at the moment...

Had a great experience this week...the Weight Watchers group at work asked me to talk to them about the talk that I went to a couple of weeks back....it was great to share information...great to talk about my story...and to acknowledge the role weight has played in my life. Talking about how, like for many young women, I was at a weight that was most likely just right for my height...but because I was tall and of a larger build started dieting...and the battle began, and has continued.....and like for many others it is bigger, because now there is extra weight to lose, and this weight is over and above what I should weigh....

But I have made some good food choices this week...more conscious eating...even being conscious that I was eating something that was not the best...or wisest choice, but at least I actually made a decision.

I will weigh myself this week, but feeling generally ok ...but not ready to hop on the scales, what does that tell me!

5 weeks to go....and 5 kilos too

So it is only 5 weeks to the three P trip....and it is fast approaching. The trip is just about organised, flight to Paris booked - check - Paris hotel, transfers and tours booked - check - travel to Pucisce booked and organised -check - then a gap in the organisation....and then the tour booked Prague, Vienna and Budapest booked - check....so a few things to do...but I am getting there (even bought new boots today - and then worked out that I only have 2 pays pre trip...now that is scary!)

But the other thing that I would like to do is to drop 5 kilos before going away! Looked through some photos the other night and it reminded me that I am carry extra weight ...and I don't like it - and I really don't like the way that I look with it...so, time for action....so a kilo a week....

So I know a lot about weightloss....I have done it before...and kept it off for years, and then changes in my work, dealing with loss and grief - and felt that my body just loss a sense of itself through all the hormone and IVF treatment...are they my excuses....oh, and now that I am in my mid to late forties...its just harder...

But what I am doing is increasing the alcohol free days...., filling up on more salads, and trying to be more conscious of my consumption....the biscuit that disappears when I am under pressure at work, the mini crunchie that I pop in my mouth at 9.10 am after a tense morning meeting.....

Here is goes....got to give it a go!  Stay tuned....
