1st Weigh In!

Yesterday was not a great day for me on the challenge. I managed to get really down on myself because I ate those crackers, and then my workout didn't feel like I'd really accomplished anything, as I completed it quicker than what was laid out in the exercise plan. I still managed not to eat badly last night though, I had the beef and broccolini stir fry which was absolutely delicious and that managed to fill me up even though it looked like a tiny portion.

This morning I struggled to get out of bed, it was cold, dark and quite frankly I just didn't want to get up when that alarm went off. Then I remembered, with a heavy heart, that today was weigh in day, the first of 12 for this challenge. I just knew that those crackers were going to have made me put on at least a kilo. So I did what it says and made sure that I weighed myself after going to the bathroom and just before I got in the shower (in my birthday suit, that was just a bit nippy!). And I looked at the numbers... Looked again. Got off and back on the scales again... Surely that couldn't be right... I had already lost .6kg!

Suddenly the world doesn't seem so hard to face today! I know it's probably not good that my mood hinges on my weight, but I don't care. I have been struggling to get down from the weight that I was sitting on for months, and in 2 days on the challenge I have lost .6kg to bring myself to the lower half of the decade that I am sitting in (I am not going to tell anyone my weight on here, those who know don't believe me, but not ready to shout it out to the world - facebook - just yet, but let's just say I weighed "something" 5.3 on Monday morning and now I'm "something" 4.7).

Thank you Michelle Bridges, you've finally helped me to see that it is possible to get away from "something" 5 without an emotional upheaval that causes me to stop eating! I will lose those 10 kilos I'm aiming for by the end of this challenge and will continue on past that. This is m promise to myself and everyone around me!
