Update.

This blog has been on my mind. I have thought about it quite often over the past few days. My lack of updating (and my general all round laziness this week). I think my downfall was the whole weigh in. I would do it, lose the paper I write thins down on, not take pictures then just think “meh” about the whole thing. I think I am going to rewrite the rules for myself. It is my weight loss so I can go about it as I please.

New Blog Rules:

Each Sunday I will report my measurements. Despite having scales I do not weigh myself. I don’t like weighing myself. Even if the numbers are going down. I find having them go down makes me complacent. I lose my drive to exercise and to eat healthy.

I will update with a bikini picture on the first day of each month. I do not like getting into the bikini. And it is cold. So I shall suffer it once a month and that is all.

I won’t weigh myself. See above for the reason why. However when I am happy with how I look I will weigh myself, just out of curiosity.

So there you have it. I shall attempt to stick by the rules. One other major factor of the blog is going on the back burning is just a matter of timing. I started working full time. I get up at ten to six in the morning to exercise. Then rush to work. When I get home from work I try and go out for a jog. After I get home and eat I am dead, I usually go to bed about nine at night. It is getting better as my body slowly gets used to it but it is so hard.

I have decided being on a “diet” will be an ultimate downfall for me. My lack of control about food has always been an issue. I don’t overeat anymore. But I still like good foods!! So I treat myself to small things on occasion. Mind you I might make a once weekly treat so I need to choose wisely! And staying away from the cookie jar at work is proving to be a challenge. One I have failed on many days. Cookies and milk is one of my favourite things. Yum!

So I am going to try and make more of an effort to update the blog. I have decided to write about other things happening in my life, not just about diet and exercise. My personal theory is if I start writing about it hopefully I will start trying to make my life more interesting. Take the ballroom dancing lessons, get lessons in French! Go out and about and experience Sydney for what it is. A big and busy city that hardly sleeps! I am a small girl in this big big town but one ay as well take advantage of it. Expand my world. Go to an art gallery. Eat something different. People watching here is most interesting too.

I need to be more independent. I hardly know anyone here but I won’t let that stop me anymore! I have my faithful cat Jack for company and companionship. He is one of the most amusing creatures I have had the pleasures of coming across. And he is as cute as a button! That and when I talk to him he looks at me and seems like he is listening. Yes that’s right folks, at 22 I am a crazy old cat lady ;)

So I shall leave on this note! Hopefully I’ll write again soon…
