Okay, okay, okay- I know- it's been WAY TOO LONG!!! But I'm back.... You know, it's interesting to note that I have fallen off the weight loss wagon, and lost lots of motivation since I stopped writing in the blog for Two Friends Journey.... Just goes to show you that journalling things is actual a way to keep on track, stay motivated, stay true and honest to yourself, and actually achieve results!
So a lot has happened since I last blogged, and it's hard to know where to start.... naturally I can't bore you with EVERYTHING that has happened over that time in this one blog, or it will go forever, but there are a few things I'd love to share with you.
Firstly, as of today I weight 85.3kg (187.5lbs). Aside from a bout of gastro, this is the lightest I have been on this journey- I'm really happy to say that today, because I was this weight over a month ago, but I put on 2kg- in the last two weeks, I've lost those 2kg to get back to the lowest weight I was.... so onwards and upwards from here!
So I would love to lost another 15kg (33lbs)- maybe even 20kg (44lbs).... but I'd be over the moon with 10kg (22lbs).... I think I've left my run a bit late in being able to make that goal by August when I head over to see CG and have our swimsuit shoot- but I'm going to give it my best shot!
Since I've blogged, I've met a boy!!! Things are going really well- and I'm not afraid to say that I can see us spending the rest of our lives together! This is exciting, and we both have very full social lives- it's surprising really that I only put on 2kg- the damage could have been much worse!!
So I've got back into the swing of 3 personal training sessions a week- my boy and I are still working on 'routine', but I plan to jog at least 2-3 times a week (if not more), and I'm trying out zumba this week, which could become a one or two weekly permanent thing if all goes well! Now I need to get right back on track with my eating habits (I'm not on a diet though, so will not be giving up on anything- just watching what I eat, when I eat and how much I eat)!
Recently I have participated in two fun runs, and have another in a few weeks- the first I jogged a whole 8km (5 miles), the next I jogged a while 10km (6.25 miles), and we're hoping to do 10km in the next one too... This really is a huge milestone for me- even in high school I was never fit enough to jog those distances- especially non-stop!
So I have lots to share with you- and I am going to use this blog as an integral ingredient in my weight loss / fitness / healthier lifestyle journey.... I will aim to write weekly again- but even if it's not weekly, it will be regularly....
All the support I can get for the second part of this journey would be appreciated.... and any comments, suggestions, advise that anyone has, I would love, love, love to hear it.... getting back on the wagon has been harder than I thought.... so for this second part, I just don't want to fall off again! :)
