In May I traveled to Thailand. It was simply awesome and I had so much fun. My goal was to go to Thailand in double figures (I was about far far away from double digits)!!!!
When the photo's came back of me standing next to a baby elephant I was horrified to say the least. I could not believe that I looked the size of the elephant. All the other photo's showed the real story of my year up until that date.
I had been cheating myself out of weight loss, I made every excuse under the sun and even started to believe my own excuses!!! The excuses had to stop or I would never allow myself to lose weight.
I re-joined the gym, got myself a personal trainer and gave my kitchen a make over!!! I set a goal to be in double digits for the Bathurst 1000 (a car race I attend with my family every year). It was the second weekend in October.
I reached my first goal in mid September 2 weeks early and I was so elated and proud of myself. People started to comment on the way I was looking and I felt healthier and fitter.
I could run, walk stairs, play with my kids and fit into clothes I couldn't take on holidays with me.
But then I cruised through November just maintaining my new weight and not pushing myself through the 90's...
That brings me to today December 27th 2011...
I am on the verge of tipping back over into Triple Digits... I am so angry and frustrated in myself that I didn't try harder to lose more this past 2 months.
The motivation I have is to stay in double figures, I know I can do it if I put my mind to it and get back to the basics.
I need to remember why I started this journey in the first place and not lose my focus.
I am going to state my next goal and post regularly here so I am accountable for my actions:
My 30th Birthday is on the 4th Feb. My goal is to lose 10kg by this date.
It will be hard, It will be tough, I will be working my butt off...
My goals are always high and hard to achieve but I am a strong believer in aiming high and striving to achieve good results.
I am making a promise to myself to succeed, try my best and stop the excuses!!!!
