37 Days till Anniversary

Ish! I got a shock when I counted the days till our anniversary!!

I thought there was more time...

I've lost another 2.5kg since my last post (23 days ago).  So, at least I'm moving forward.  Plus, I'm on track with my goals to weigh 60kg at the end of March.

I think in a life where everything is fast and instant, it really is hard to wait and make slow progress.

Plus, food is just sooo delicious - it's like I can't get in enough :-) Lol.

I'm still doing intermittent fasting although I've learned that there is in fact a difference between intermittent fasting, and time restricted feeding .  I think I'll post about this next time, 'cause it's a whole 'nother can of worms!

I have my 30km road running race coming up in 6 days.  

Pretty nervous about it, since last week I couldn't train like I wanted to :-(

But, I'm keeping myself positive and hoping that with some rest later this week, I'll enjoy the goal I've set for myself and hopefully advance to do my 1st marathon in September this year...

Life and all things good, takes planning and time and diligence.  

The easy way out, is fast, easy and never following through with goals.

So, today I choose hard work and perseverance!

Here's to a good week!!

Day 21 - of 21 Day challenge

And so here is to today! Cheers!!

The last day of the past 21 days, where I had set out to eat more specific in order to get healthier, fitter and leaner.

And I am super proud to say, that I'm there!!!

Perhaps not as far accomplished as I would hope, but moving forward in the right direction is still success.  In running I always say: you're always faster than the guy sitting on the couch! 

I lost 2.5kg in the last 21days.

Weighing in at 67.2kg this morning.

This was also my 1st successful weekend of eating healthy.  Usually I completely fold for a reward here and there (which end up being a "reward" every hour or so of the whole weekend!)

I set these small challenges for myself, so I can make the days count.  Otherwise it's just wishing in the right direction.  Which usually amounts to no results what so ever...

My next challenge for myself would be our 10year wedding anniversary. 

It's in 59 days...

I'll do some strategy in my next post.

But here's to the next 59 days: Cheers!!!

Day 10 - 21 Day healthy eating challenge

Day 9 was a fail... I just felt despondent and didn't feel like putting in any effort in getting my body to a healthier state.

So, I ate a whole lot of junk yesterday afternoon and then too much food for dinner.

On a positive note:  I went out for a sweaty 40min gym session while hubby put our son to bed (little one was thankfully already asleep).

I love watching the old music videos on VH1 and crank up the volume so it drowns out my tired sorry butt! 😆  It really just picks me up!!

And then my son went to school with the push bike this morning.  So, I strapped the baby into the jogger and went down with him.  Super slowly as he stops for absolutely everything!!! But I then worked on the glisten of sweaty beads on my face, as I sped back up home after dropping him off - SUPER COOL!!

Love endorphins baby!!!

So, hello day 10.
I am 900grams down from yesterday (despite my  horrible efforts from yesterday...Must be Monday's goodness!)

Gonna try and keep up with 16:8 fast today.  

And reeeeealy try and stick to 100% eating plan throughout the rest of the day.
