"You can have the results you say you want, or you can have all the reasons in the world why you can’t have them. But you can’t have both. Reasons or results. You get to choose."

DAY 6 (FRIDAY 8TH JAN)


You know what?
 
I know everyone says this...  and I have been... but today I really believe that this is it.  This time I am getting to goal and staying there.
 
It's a great feeling.
 
It will get harder.  I am not kidding myself that I can stay on 26 points a day and sail down to 65kg and beyond.  But I have sailed past day 4 (my hoodoo day) and with my 13 week Easter Challenge(s) I will sail past week 4 (hoodoo #2) and maybe past 82kg (hoodoo #3).  From there I have no more hoodoos!
 
If I average 600gm per week loss I could be under 75kg by my 40th birthday!  Oh wow that would be fantastic!  But if I average 200gm per week I will still be a slimmer than I am now.  I am trying to avoid setting dates for my weight targets until I get a picture of my rate of loss.  I don't want to set myself up for disappointment!  I would need to average 1kg (2.2lb) per week to get to my WW goal by my birthday....  possible but lets see!
 
Some advice I read in that blog I have been reading (and posted the link yesterday): on special days like Christmas or birthdays allow yourself extra calories (points/kilojoules/whatever) for that day.  But make it a set amount.  He (sean?) allows himself an extra 1000 calories for special days.  He doesn't try to 'make it up' other days.  I really like that idea.  It allows you to still be 'on plan' but also live your life.  I guess you would want to choose just one or two days a year to do this.
