Friday, 22 May 2009

So here I am on 22nd May 2009 - realising that I either get serious about shaping up this year or forget it forever.

Over the past few years I have been promising - always in the lead up to our summer holiday - and always to the family as well as myself - that I will be a new shape by the time I get to the beach!

What beach, what year, and what shape?

Well with 3 stones to shed (could look okay after losing half of that!!) and having tried prescribed tablets; acai berry and colon cleanse tablets - off and on I NOW NEED TO GET SERIOUS.

With a dream of becoming a size 12 once more and feeling good, good, good I am ready to start.......

Now that said - this is not going to be easy because yesterday I went to the doctor..........
I was 88k and last time I visited I was 83k........my blood pressure is normal but only because of 4 daily tablets and my cholestoral although not high risk is slightly high.

Today I am off work - and I needed the break.  I have a long week-end ahead and decided that if I walk that will be good - today I am doing things around the house and intend to build in a few walks over the week-end with Alex my daughter.   However I cannot depend on diet to make these changes........

The POSITIVES are that Alex has now started to run and walk regularly - and is eating less 'bad foods' - she too is looking forward to our holiday.  Robert is quite disciplined with food - he eats mostly good foods......although he does like his red meat!

I have dropped from a size 18 to 16 and I need to lose weight evenly all over which can be easier than having one area of problem!!

I have loads of family support and love!!

The NEGATIVES are that I have a pressured working life; take life fairly seriously much of the time and just love chocolate, cakes and biscuits!!

So here I start and my intention is to use my AUDSHAPEUP09 to encourage me on my journey to a new shape and new feeling about myself.
