My goal, my motivation and my mindset reset

Goal Weight: 73kg
Current Weight: 86.5
Started my journey 01/09/14 - 26.5kg lost

Just as I get the new motivation and mindset going, AF decides to ruin my life! Ok, slight exaggeration, but she really does throw a spanner in the works. So I decided not to step on the scales this morning. I'm having a "no weigh" week - because I honestly think it would do me more harm than good to see that number.

You see, weight loss is 90% mental. And if I see this big increase on the scales when I know I've been good, I'll slip in to a massive funk. The little part in the back of brain saying "AF is here, that gain is pretty much ALL water" gets drowned out by the massive sense of failure. 

It's a dumb mindset, and something I have tried for years to overcome. So the measure I am taking this week, is to avoid the scale. What harm can that possibly do? Will one week of not weighing in cause me to put 26kg back on? Will it derail my entire journey and undo all of my hard work? NO IT WILL NOT.  Because it is only 1 week, and I will not let it throw me off.

I have set a wee goal of losing 10kg by Christmas (starting with next week's weigh in haha), to keep me motivated. We are going on holiday for 12 days, and it will be hot. And I'm NOT hiding in the corner in 3/4 jeans and t-shirts, I want to wear cute summer dresses (see pic), and lay out in my togs (my inner fat girl is already scoffing at me). I want to run around with my kids without my thighs trying to spark a fire. I want to *gasp* enjoy summer!

So there we go. My goal, my motivation, and my mindset re-set are all there.

Actions are stronger than words, so time to get this butt moving!!

Keep the bread to a minimum
