Lady Marmalade
Bad girl warning...
RIGHT. No more wishy-washy, carb-creep-y, ooh-just-a-pound-a-week-would-be-nice-y feet dragging. I am setting the bar high and I am going to CLEAR IT.
Setting my goal date so far off has just given me an excuse to take my foot off the gas and coast. And it's not working for me - the goal keeps moving further away with each week that I let go by without giving it all I've got. I really don’t want to drift through another 6 months or a year without getting there.
I want to get back that determination and focus I had when I first started this way back in February.
My goal date is now 4th December. That's a fairly realistic 2lbs a week with a couple of weeks in hand for life's little ups and downs (mainly downs).
Because that's still a fair way off I've set another little interim goal, to really sharpen my focus for now. I've booked a weekend away for 25th September. I would like to have dropped 6lbs by then.
My three main strategies are 1) NO BOOZE, 2) Watch the carb creep (esp cheese & bars), and 3) really PUSH the exercise. And 4) NO BOOZE - it bears repeating.
Having a diary thread seems to help other people, and I guess putting all my progress (or lack of) into one thread rather than spreading it across the forum will help me focus, and reading back through it might give me the kick up the R's I'm bound to need from time to time.
BRING IT ON.
