Hi Everyone!

Its been a little over a week since my last post.  Work at University has been really busy.  I did not really have much time to go to the gym as much as I would have liked, with travelling around the country, but I have been having long days of running around and being generally active.  Also not much time to think about or having time to eat lots of food I don’t need to eat!  I have just been having convenient plain, wholesome food – lots of sushi, chicken, fish, veg/salad, whole wheat bread rice and noodles.  Snacks are nut and fruit bars (the eat natural ones – yummy!), fruit, or yoghurt with granola and honey for a treat.

So last time I checked in I was 75.7kgs – 0.7 of a kg off my penultimate target of 75kgs.  I weighed myself on the scales a few days after my shapeup app had been bleeping at me to add a new measurement.  I was expecting it to read the same weight if not more since I had not been much to the gym.  But I weighed in at 74.3kgs! Wahey! I can’t believe it.  I feel very happy now.

I have now entered a new goal weight into my shapeup club app – 65kgs.  This will give me a normal BMI according to the tables for my height.  I still need to check my body fat and consult with my GP, but I would like to slim down a bit more so I can go into most shops and pick up a size 12 – I can only do this in a few shops in select styles at the moment.

But I’m getting there, I can finally see the finish line.  I just hope I can make it all the way, and keep on track when I get over the line.  The big challenge will be keeping it up after the weight is lost – it is so easy to fall off the wagon isn’t it?  I have never maintained a healthy weight my whole life, I’ve either been too thin or too fat.  I hope I can manage it this time.

Till next time
