"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."

Scale Games

I weigh myself irregularly.  At least weekly right now, but sometimes more often.


I find the results fascinating.


I often lose over a kilogram overnight only to put it on plus more the day after.


I find this random WI habit reassuring.  It releases me from 'the tyranny of the scales' as a bad WI (when I have followed the plan) can be accounted for in daily fluctuations.


Over a month or so the trend should be downwards, if not then I need to change my approach.


If I had never weighed more than weekly I would be unaware of my daily change...  so I am glad I play scale games sometimes and sneak a peak at my weight.

On the wagon

The weight loss wagon that is.


Goals:

  • Reach a weight of 59kg before Oxfam 2013
  • Maintain that weight
  • Be fit enough to comfortable complete Oxfam 2013
  • Run regular 10km fun runs (barefoot)



How:

  • Weight Watchers Pro Points
  • A mixture of cardio (walking and running) and strength training (going to try cross fit, rock climbing or may join a gym)



Why:

  • To feel good in my own skin
  • To feel good about myself
  • To feel energetic
  • To be healthy
  • To be fitter
  • So the 2013 100km Oxfam walk is less painful
  • To be able to buy clothes in 'normal' sizes
  • To have this goal finally met
