I've lost 10kg!! And overcoming feelings of failure....

Goal Weight: 80kg?

Current Weight: 95.6

Started my journey 6/01/15 - 10.4kg lost so far

I got my 10kg!! With only 100gms to get there after last week, I would have been gutted if I didn't make it :)

I didn't quite get my April goal though, missed it by 100gms (that damn number keeps popping up!), but I'm ok with that. I lost 2.7kg this month, and I think that is pretty damn good.

I've got 3 weeks left in my 12 week challenge, and have lost 6.6 in 9 weeks. My goal is to have lost 8kg, but of course I'm aiming higher. I basically want to see how much I can lose in the next 3 weeks. So I will TRY to be an angel - let's see how long that lasts. I have to at least lose 1.4kg to get to my 12 week goal - I will feel like a complete failure if I don't get that.

To be honest I will probably have feelings of failure if I get anything less than 10kg. I put so much pressure on myself, and I think that is part of the reason I can so easily fall off the wagon! I need to learn to relax, and take any loss, whether it be huge, or tiny, and remember that if I have one 'bad' food, it is not a reason to completely sabotage the rest of the day/next 48 hours.

Sounds so easy on paper doesn't it?

I have to say though, I'm pretty proud of my exercise efforts at the moment. I only missed one day last week (Saturday), and I'm really enjoying it. exercise is my stress relief at the moment, which makes it really easy to fit in to my day. Every morning I ring my workout buddy (my mum) and we schedule a time, which I then put in to my work diary. It's so important for me to treat exercise as a non-negotiable meeting!
