Finding Balance

Why so quiet? I hear you ask

Yes, I have done something I always said I would never do: Joined the Gym

Yep, you heard right

Recently I have been putting on weight at an alarmingly rapid rate and I have actually been behaving myself in the food department. (think all the toasted sandwiches have caught up to my hips)
With Thailand less than 100 days away (happy dance!!) and a gorgeous black dress waiting to wrap itself around my body without splitting at the seams,  I decided that drastic action was called for.

So I am sharing with you all and putting it out there.

This way I cannot back out because then it is your job to point and laugh scold me for being such a failure!

So here are the embarrassing stats:

Weight: ..... erm..... deep breathe..... 76kg / 167.2 lbs ...too small to read? too bad! :-D
Bust: 100cm
Waist: 79cm
Hips: 103cm

My goal is to lose 16kgs / 35.2 lbs, but I am aiming for at least 10kgs / 22 lbs in time for Thailand.

In 1 month I will give you the results again.

I am trying to do this healthily and not deprive myself of too much. I still drink sugar and milk in my coffee, but I try to drink less.
I try not to eat fatty or high carb foods either. This is supposed to be a lifestyle change to hopefully become a habit.

Wish me luck... I really do need it!!
