Almost There!

It's just over a month since I last wrote. This month has been challenging in that my weight stayed at 65-66 for weeks! I did travel a lot in April, so wasn't as regular with exercise as I should have been and was eating more and drinking more alcohol. Still, I wasn't too upset as it didn't cross 66.

Then, in early May (6th) I had to go away on work for a week. Similar issues with exercise, but I managed about 3 days in the week. I also did yoga for 15-20 minutes on 2 days. Came back to 65.

Today, I'm at 64. This is itself a major achievement. Since January 20th 2011, I've lost 11 kgs. I, who was convinced that I was too lazy to stick to an exercise schedule, and too much of a foodie to stop eating food, have successfully lost weight and inches.

Today, I'm wearing trousers, that 4 months ago wouldn't button up. Today, they are loose. I'm wearing a shirt that gaped between buttons, today it fits fine.

Also, I'd like to say that exercise has become a part of my 'normal' life, but I'm afraid I'll jinx it :) What I know though, is that with a few basic things at home (oats, fresh veggies), I'll generally eat better. I also am trying to move to morning exercise, so I'm not having to schedule my evenings around it. Let's see how that goes.

Today is even more special because I got up and went for a walk/jog. I wasn't dying to, but I did. I did as much as I thought appropriate, I'm still alive, and I'm 64kgs!
