First Weigh In

I am very pleased to announce that after almost 2 weeks I have lost 3.3 kilos (7.2 pounds)! I couldn't believe it when I stepped on the scales and saw that I had lost that much. I feel a huge sense of relief to get that 110 number out of my head. I am now only 4 kilos away from my lightest weight of the year, so it would be great if I could achieve that (and more) by then end of this year.

I am a bit surprised that I did so well considering that last weekend was a bit of a disaster calorie wise. I drank 3 bottles on wine on Friday night and then was so hung over on Saturday I just ate whatever to "settle my stomach". I will definitely be steering clear of alcohol this weekend.

The best thing I did was buy The Biggest Loser exercise DVD. I absolutely love it. I have only done the low intensity work out, but to me that was extremely high intensity. I felt like I worked out every muscle in my body. The best part was that I could do every exercise. A lot of exercise DVDs I have tried I can't physically even attempt some of the moves because I am just too fat and it gets in my way.

In slightly horrifying news, I have been invited to my 10 year high school reunion in March of next year. I knew this was coming, but I didn't think it would be until November next year- when we actually finished high school. I am trying not to panic, but if ever there was a night I will be judged it will be at my high school reunion. It is definitely a bit of added incentive to keep going with the low GI eating and exercise.

Finally, the good news for me is that I now have a 4 day weekend. Tuesday is a public holiday here in Melbourne for Melbourne Cup Day and I am taking Monday off just for good measure. I will try my best to keep eating healthy and exercising because I do tend to struggle a bit without routine.
