The Whys
Why only a stone when it’s easy to loose weight at my size? So I don’t put so much pressure on myself and I’m still able to enjoy what I make and try it for my Monday cooking blog. If one meal out of the 21 I have each week isn’t what the world sees as health it won’t kill me. Will in hinder my weight loss, probably but teaching Erika to cook and exploring food from around the world is more important to me. At the end of the day I’m still a parent and Erika ultimately needs to come first. I’ve more or less been on diets since she was born and the amount of times I’ve had to say no when she’s cooked me something has been hard. Life is about balance and when I do go travelling, I won’t just be sticking to low calorie things, so I need to learn self control and to get back on a diet so it doubles up.
Why so little exercise? You should be pushing that. I’ve got other things going on in life behind the scenes, which are stressful, take up time and overal just a lot to deal with. As well as settling into a life of a blogger. I would rather give myself 100% across the board and achieve the goals I set to keep me motivated. So once I’ve sorted out some of my current problems in life I should have more time to dedicate to exercise. Besides this isn’t a sprint, its a marathon! So as long as I take more steps in the right direction a few side distractions won’t kill me.
By the end of September, I’ll check back in and see how far I’ve come. Any kind of movement towards my goals will be great. If I do loose a stone a month I’ll hit my goal in just after 2 years, which will be great. I’ll be fitter, be able to move more and be a functioning adult. I’ll be able to take you on adventures and I guess this would change into maintaing blog, instead of a weight loss one. I’m sure you want to see that for me. So lets get there together.
Let me know in the comments where you are in your own journey if your at the begining, in the middle of maintaining.
