Summer is coming???

Winter has just started here in Australia but all it does is remind me that Summer is coming. The good news is that there is more then 5 months between now and then and that is plenty of time to make a difference. I feel like at this point I have a choice.

I can spend winter snuggled up with my good friends red wine, dark chocolate and pizza and then resurface in summer to complain that I have nothing to wear, don't want to leave the house and my thighs are chaffing.

OR

I can do something about my weight now and spend summer with friends, in gorgeous summer skirts and dresses, having the time of my life.

It seems like an easy decision, but it is proving harder to action then you would think.

  2. Oh I agree with you so much, why is it so hard when it is such an obvious answer!
    But then again, I spend all summer eating icecream :)

  3. Well, all I can say is that I wish I'd worked harder to lose more weight over the past few months because I would be able to wear the beautiful summer skirt I recently bought for a wedding without so much rub and burn. :(

    I hope you are able to get yourself back on track so you won't be in my shoes next summer.

  4. Well, the second option doesn't mean you have to give up the wine, chocolate and pizza for the entire duration though, does it? Nothing wrong with a treat now and then :)

  7. Get onto some great websites and find some of those dresses you are talking about and print them out. Stick them, along with some great quotes around your house, bedroom, toilet etc..

    Visualise, believe and focus. It doesn't mean you have to entirely give up your winter goodness, but it may stop you having an extraglass of wine, slice of Pizza or choccie.

    If you literally have something visual to focus on it will get you that step ahead. I'm busting to get back into my fitness goals and am planning on doing this myself.

  10. You can do it! It is a hard decision however obvious it may seem. I know what I supposed to do to lose weight, but sadly it doesn't mean I do it all the time.

  11. Just found your blog and I have to say that you're adorable. And that you can do it! Fight the dark chocolate and pizza and red wine! (Although I had 2 of the 3 yesterday, so I'm one to talk...)
