Day 5

Went for my morning jog…feeling great!
Had oats and peanut butter for breakfast again.

I don’t want to do the Shake for lunch…sushi aint that harmful to my regeim?!!

(Phew) I pulled through – poured that Shake and took the first sip…and all resistance (towards sushi) crumbled!! Yeah for me!!
Tonight’s gonna be a challenge…we’ll probably go to the local pub. I NEEEEED to skip on the drinks and opt for a soda water (all night through)!!! PLUS, if we eat there, I need to order the chicken salad.
(Deep breath in: I’m going to make it!)

Day 3 (And here we go again)

I wanted to be somewhere else in my weight-saga, but non the less. I will keep my chin up, because perseverance is total key!

And I ate so well today (yeah! Brownie points for me!!)
Oats with peanutbutter for breakfast, Meal replacement shake made with water for lunch and dinner we were invited over by Oom Johnny and tannie Veronica. And I amazed myself! I only ate of the chicken fillet, stir fry and salad!!

Day 2…Sort of.

I can’t say that I gave it my all last night, neither this morning…but in the same breath I can’t say that I’ve failed misrebly.
So…I’m still in this thing. And will have to pull my weight (literly) tonight to see myself through to day 3.
We’ll see…

Nope…I didn’t make it through the day without cheating horrendously.
(Sigh)
Tomorrow’s another day.

Day 1…once again

:-)
All I can do is to actually laugh at myself, because the only reason I'm still on Day1, is because I've been kidding myself and tricking myself in thinking: just one more unhealthy burger…just one more piece of cake…THEN I'll start my weight loss regeim.
But alas.
I have been fooling only myself.

So once again…let's see how far we can go with this "Day 1"

Reinventing yourself!

Re-inventing oneself:



It starts with lip gloss: putting on some lip gloss, instantly perk's up any dull mood & face!



And then comes the harder part: loosing the desired weight…

It's tough, because most of us don't own up to the consequences of our own actions.

Our priorities are out of wack and we depend on our emotions for guidance!



The radio presenter ends his stories each morning by saying:

lighten up, and live!!!



So, lighten up! Breath. Relax.

Make an effort with your beauty sleep, and the same goes for your appearance. You know you feel a million bucks when you’ve taken meticulous time with things like hair and make up and choosing the right outfit!

If you can, why not put on your brightest colour lipstick and go for a massage!!



Be daring and courageous - take on this new life challenge with meaning to score goals every hour of your day!



And you know what: with yourself as your main supporter - you can accomplish astonishing hights!!!!!



Because it's called Self-dicipline.

You might never have used it before, but through Christ you've definitaly got access to it…and not only access, it's already in you!



Can you see why I think the slogan: lighten up and live, is so appropriate?

You have it all in you - now just use it!



Wake-up the "dormit" you and start living…you are now going to work off your self-inflicted excess weight.

Safari half marathon - super funner!!

One of the reasons it was super funner, was that everything went wrong...and now, eventually - we can laugh about it!

My hubby wasn't fit enough to do the 21km, so I opted to join him in the 21km relay (10.5km each).

We arrived late in Worcester and couldn't find the right turn off. So in fustration, we parked the car in town and ran in the direction of where we thought it will all take place (start).

Out of breath, like alot of people in our position, running along side us - we arrived at the wrong jumping point.

We milled through the crowd and 15min's later came to the "right" street...Werner was "runner A" and as the crowd was counted down, he could jump with them!

(Phew, or so I thought!)

Over an hour later Werner came running up to me (to do the batton hand over), only he had no batton!

I later learned that he jumped with the walking group by mistake and missed the hand out of the battons.

Luckily, a nice marshall gave us one and off I went!

It was a bit grueling, but still awesome!!

Here's the pic...Werner, myself, Johan (did his 10th Safari half marathon) and his wife Anja.

Day 4

Going well…my weight is dropping again…slowly, but it’s better to drop a 100gram than pick up anything!
Later my day went wretched and I licked my wounds with comfort food in the form of lasagna. Not a total loss, as I did a huge salad followed by popcorn and a movie for dinner.
