8 months starting from now!...

It is 38 weeks until my 27th birthday and when I wanted to be at target.

If I lost 1.5lbs per week I could lose over 4 stone taking me into the 12 stone bracket that I would like to be in.

Today is a preparation day for my new start. I seem to have fresh starts every month but all I can do is keep going!

The fridge is full of fruit and veg and the choices are mine to make. The decision is mine to make if I want to eat something or not resulting in if I lose the weight or not.

If I stay on track by Christmas I could be around 2 stone lighter.

The things I am going to try and do to achieve this:

1. Make sure I drink 2 litres of water each day
2. For evening meals try and cut down portion size
3. On evening meals try and cut down on carbs- having salad/veg instead of potatoes.
4. When I am thinking of eating something I shouldn't come on here and write down what I am thinking.
5. Try and eat fruit for breakfast for 2 morning a week instead of something hot.
6. Try and cut down on bread and use other HEB's

Today I am going to make a big pot of chili, and make some of it into a chili lasagne bulked out with lots and lots of veggies. I might also make a pan of soup for lunches at work.

Well week is going well, had some chocolate last night first treat this week but within syns as have been under all week. Nurse weighs me tomorrow and then I weigh in as such on Monday. Showing 15. 6 1/2 this morning which would give me my 2 stone shiney but going to wait until Monday to weigh in properly and maybe will have lost more!!

I got a call about a new job yesterday and the recruiter is putting my cv forward for it. It is still being a PA for a Managing Director but it is a 3k pay rise, also still local to me,(well 10 miles) also pension, private health benefits and lunch voucher of £3 each day!!
