I'm blogging early, lots of things to do today, like getting myself and the house ready for a new year.
I weighed myself this morning: - 3 lbs. That's the best I've been able to do in almost 10 weeks and that is not a great result.
On the positive side, my waistline has gone down 1 1/2 cm, and for fitting into clothes more important than the weight loss. Very happy about that.
I was looking at my scales and waist measurement notebook and last year, between 21st Dec. and 2nd Jan. I gained 6.6 lbs !!! and 3 cm around my waist. Awful. It took me until June to lose 2.2 lbs and hardly anything from around my waist. So I was pretty desperate when I started the Map challenge.
I don't like doing workouts, or not eating bread and cheese for lunch, but it got results.
Now I have the tools, the nutrition know how (more or less) and workouts that are effective, so my goal for 2011 is to work with these tools and get a fitter, stronger and leaner body.
I aim to lose another 6.6 lbs before the end of February and another 4.4 lbs by the end of the summer.
Want my weight to be down to 59 kg, or in dax moyspeak: I AM 59 kg by the end of summer.
But before I get started realizing these goals I'm going to enjoy some parties with guiltless eating and drinking. The champagne is getting cold in the fridge, and I'll be spending the evening with friends, having dinner, playing some games, dancing and toasting to a HAPPY and WONDERFUL NEW YEAR!
Just knowing I have a ticket for my trip to Australia makes 2011 a special year. And there's a photo project next year that I'm looking forward to, and will try to make every day a satisfying one.
Sue, I declare you the winner (unless you've gained 2 pounds overnight?). It was fun reading your blogs, hope you will continue next year? keep each other challenged!
Have a wonderful weekend and
HAPPY 2011 - hug Leoni
What a lovely blog Leoni - you have come such a long way since we "met"! Congratulations on the 3lb loss - in fact if you add the 6lb gain you made last year, you could say you have lost 9lbs! :o) I think we are both winners! Well done you!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI will blog my 2011 goals later, by which time you will have started on that champagne - enjoy your evening with friends and have a marvellous New Year. Happy 2011 - hug back from Sue. :o)
