Well I started in September and my goal was to hit 13st before Christmas (Loss of 1 stone, 5lbs) and I am very proud to say that I did it! However I fell off the wagon of checking in on here. So I gave myself the benefit of the doubt, what with Christmas being such a busy time for everybody and decided to let myself take the time off and come back to it in the New Year. So here we are, New Years Eve and I am setting myself up for January to be a positive one.
My mum is doing the diet alongside me, so we're sharing meal plans every week and giving each other weekly updates on our weight loss as well as any exercise we can squeeze in. We're also going to trial doing Vegetarian Monday, where we eat no meat once a week to see if it benefits our weight loss in any way.
2018 was a rollercoaster for me, as I'm sure it was for a lot of people, and I've found myself in a consistent negative pit that I do not let myself out of. So as well as the diet, I will be taking action to look after myself better, including skin care routines, more exercise (where I can) and more me-time. To pamper and relax myself. I've also put myself in for a mini challenge of actually reading this month. It's my favourite hobby and it makes me sad to say that I don't read as much as I used to.
My new goal for 2019 is July 8th - Graduation Day. I've got a lovely dress that I want to fit into, but it's a size 10!! 2 dress sizes smaller than what I am now, but if I focus and stay motivated, I'm sure it will be easy as pie! That gives me... 27 weeks exactly! That is an awful lot of time, but to get to my ultimate goal of 10st I only need to lose 1.5lbs every weeks, which means that my gradual weight loss should be a healthy one.
Now I have joined a January challenge on here, so I will definitely be checking in every week and I will be doing my best to lose lose lose!! I hope you all have an amazing New Year, enjoy yourselves and stay safe!! Here's to a positive 2019 filled with adventures and victories for us all!xxx
