My Promises and my updates

Denziee

"I got married on August 16th of this year and weighed 133lbs on the day. We had a fabulous day and went on to a fabulous honeymoon (2 weeks in Croatia) where I successfully (I think anyway!) put on just 3lbs!

We’re three months on and life is good. And I am stuffing my face and have no real appetite for exercise. Suffice to say I’ve put on about 10lbs. Oh my god!

So this is my mission statement to myself.

1. I’m going to take care of my body so my body takes care of me.
2. I’m going to do some form of exercise (minimum of 30 minutes) 5 times a week.
3. To start with AT LEAST 3 of those will be done at the gym (that I am paying for an using once a week at best).
4. I am going to give up smoking PROPERLY
5. I am going to lose 5lbs by Christmas
6. I am going to learn to love my body for all the amazing things it can do.
7. I am going to learn to lift well and lift heavy.
8. I am not going to find excuses (this includes a headache, too hungry, got to clean the house, its raining)
9. For every packet of cigarettes I do not buy I am going to save £8 towards my trip to America in August next year
10. I am going to set myself specific fitness related goals and these are more important than losing the pounds.
11. I AM GOING TO WEIGH AND MEASURE TOMORROW MORNING AND LOG TOMORROW.
12. I am not going to punish myself when I slip up. I am just going to get back on that wagon and make sure it doesn’t happen again. "

I made the above promises to myself back in November. Thought I'd have a look back at them and see how I've done so far.

1-3 I think I've got covered :-D
4 - I've been smoke free for 27days!!! congrats to me!
5 - this was a fail ! i'm still the size I was back in November.
6 - working on it
7 - I still want to do this but I'm not sure where to start. I've got two books and i've read both. I think i'm going to pick a date to start. and DO IT
8 - I really need to remind myself of this promise. I haven't really been sticking to it!
9 - we're no longer going to America. BOO! but I have saved my non-smoking money and I will be putting it towards another trip later this year.
10 and 12 - I still promise these xx
11 - I will do this tomorrow AGAIN !
