OK, so it's been quite a few months. And in that time I've completely gone back to all the old bad habits that I had prior to my health kick at the beginning of the year, because I'd made myself feel so guilty constantly about food.
One thing that I have managed to stick with is staying away from fast food. Aside from one visit to red rooster where I bought 3 nuggets and some chips about a month ago (and then freaked out cause I remembered that I had been so good and wasn't eating fast food), I have not had McDonalds, KFC, Hungry Jacks, Subway, Domino's or Pizza Hut since the 6th of April. And I plan to never go back! Although I may occasionally cave on Domino's (and when I say occasionally, I mean no more than once every couple of months at the most).
So, I'm starting another count down. The 11th of December 2012 is going to be the last time I eat chocolate. I am serious. It's going to be bloody hard, but I'm going to do my utmost to stick to this. I'm also going to think twice about every food choice that I make. If there is no nutritional value to the food, then I'm not eating it. I need to start treating my body better. I don't put diesel fuel into my car because it would kill the engine... This is what I need to remember when it comes to the food I eat.
I've started going back to the gym every morning to do a 45min - 1 hour workout, and will also be taking Maddie for a run each night (if nothing else, I gotta get the energy out of her, she's been thinking that bed time means play time, when all I want to do is fall into bed!).
I refuse to do any challenges or go on any diets per say, although I am watching what I eat and keeping track of calories etc. I am using meal replacement shakes at least once a day, but that is more out of convenience than anything else.
I need to be able to look at my reflection and not want to smash the mirror. Instead, I'm going to work on smashing the fat off this body once and for all. I have a number of things that are happening next year that I am adamant that I will be at least a size 12 for (hopefully a size 10!). September 2013 is a very big month and the starting point of a new adventure, I've got 2 weddings, one of which I am a bridesmaid for, and then I will be embarking on the adventure of a lifetime when I will be packing up or selling everything I own, leaving the dog with her grandparents, and heading to London to work for at least 12 months. So, not only am I saving my ass off, I need to invest in my appearance as well!
So, this is how it is going to be.
No more chocolate, cookies, sugary treats or potato chips. 11th of December 2012 was the last time I am going to allow any of that junk to bring my body down. Christmas is going to be tough but I don't care, I have to stop finding excuses and stick to this!
NO MORE EXCUSES!
