First Goal

Having started on the road to better eating and more exercise yesterday, I decided to put a goal in place.  I have always believed (based on my many previous attempts at weight loss - some very successful, just not maintained) , that on average 500gms - 1kilo per week is a healthy weight loss for me, usually with a slightly higher loss the first week.  So that in mind, I checked the calendar and saw it was 6.5 weeks till October Scrapbook Retreat and set my goal at losing 7kgs by then.

My first two small changes:

• More water - Aim to reach about 2ltrs per day, currently managing just over 1.
• Removed all the junk type food I would normally go for and stocked up on fruit and veges.  When I was hungry before lunch, I had a small mini salad.  Still felt like a biscuit, but my mindset has shifted and I didn't resent not having one (or 5!).

More small changes next week and I'll be weighing in on Mondays, so I'll post how much I managed to loose in week 1 (hoping for 2kgs).
