An Introduction

Posted on March 7, 2015

Every single time I start a life style change I always manage to full off the bandwagon. I'm not entirely sure what it is about starting a diet that makes me last two days and then thats it for another few weeks.

When I was at high school I was so good! I knew to handle my sweet cravings (Now I just let me sweet tooth run wild) I knew to exercise most days and would do Zumba which I loved! It was my favourite part of the day. It mean't for 50 minutes I could just dance my little heart out. I also knew how to eat good wholesome food.

Just before I moved out of home, when I got my first job working at quite a prominant fast food chain (Of the "healthy" variety) is when I started packing on the weight. And then when I started flatting is when I lost all control of my weight. I don't know what it is. I blame he sugar and poor choices.

Now I have finally decided it is time for a change and if this doesn't work I don't know what will since I could potentially lose hundreds of dollars.

I wish you all the best for the remainder of this dietbet and hope to join you in upcoming ones :)

I thought I would just write a short blog post on how I got to where I am today. I'm going to take each day as it comes in this weightloss battle and hope to improve my health once and for all.

The point is to keep moving, no matter what. You know where you are going and there's really no other option. No matter what happened yesterday, get right back on the wagon and keep moving! Never look back, that's how I used to sabotage myself too. I found it very helpful to set long-term goals and break them down into daily/weekly/monthly goals. The only thing that keeps me going. I picked miles. I know how hard I worked to add them up, so once I start slacking off, I really don't want to mess up all my hard work. So eventually I will find a way to work out (despite injuries and time constraints) just to avoid messing up my numbers.I have been doing that for a couple of years, so I can even compete against last year's numbers now. Gives me a nice frame of reference. Try it, it makes such a big difference! Write your miles or workout minutes down, make a nice Excel spreadsheet with colorful graphs, whatever works for you, have fun with it and be proud of yourself!

I think those first few days are the hardest so if you can make it past the first few days your cravings will decrease & things get easier.

Great post. So many people would say "yes, me too!" You have a good foundation - you know what it feels like to enjoy exercise and eat well. It is all about developing healthy habits (and kicking a sugar addiction if you have one - sugar is addictive like a drug!) - once you "get around the corner", the habits tend to stick. You can do this!
