Notable Achivements: 5 kg down.

Lessons learned:

Yes, yes, YES! /dance

It’s all about movement. As much as I prefer to be a couch potato, I unfortionally need to move in order to convince my body to use up excess fat. As much as I try and whine and struggle (I’m lazy) – there’s no way around getting my arse in gear. Took long walks last week, and well – it’s the reason I finally made the 5kg mark.

It actually would’ve been more, but well, the weekend’s never nice to me. During the week it’s easy to keep up with the changes I’ve made – my office has a great canteen with a faboulous salad buffet and I don’t eat at home. At all. See the problem? I’ve got a tough time with food on Saturday and Sunday.

Plans for this week:

  1. Jogging
    I want to start running at least three times. The weather’s nice, I’ve got good running shoes, I have no excuse NOT to do it, to be honest. I need a way to fit it into my daily schedule though, and I need to fit it so, that I have no wiggle room – otherwise I’m going to wiggle myself out of jogging. Finding a good no-wiggle-room trigger for running will be the hardest part of the endavor, actually.
  2. Cook for myself on Sunday.
    Which means I have to have done two things on Saturday:

    1. Pick what I wanted to eat and buy the groceries. (‘coz I only have yoghurt and catfood home right now)
    2. Get my kitchen into shape, so that I can actually cook. It’s been used for nothing but a place to make tea and coffe for more than three months now, and well, that’s visible.

Those two things seem doable to me. Hopefully starting to jog will allow me to catch up with my original plan of a pound per week. :)
