Time for new beginnings

So I started this dieticians plan on the 5th March and its been 6 weeks! And I think I am still 79 kgs! I have been bad, too many public holidays and events.

So today (15 April 2009) I have restarted my plan.

Will stick to my eating and weigh myself next week Friday and report back.

Why is it so difficult, wish there was a magic tablet to take away my cravings and so I could just say no to all the bad foods!!

Progress

Went for my weigh in with the dietician on the 20th of March and lost 3kgs so I weigh 79 now!

That was in three weeks and one week of eating nonsense on holiday.

I haven't been as strict as I promised I would be but I need to! I can feel I have put on some weight, I went away for the weekend and ate so much! Will weigh myself tommorrow and post the weight.

I feel like I have gained but I also am pre menstrual at the moment. Want to post a before pic soon.

Inspired

Today is the first day of my renewed attempt to lose the bulge!

It has been 10 months since the birth of my daughter Rania and I am still battling to lose the weight. In reality I ate like Miss Piggy during and after my pregnancy. And not that I have now come to realisation that I need to lose the weight it has been a constant battle for the last 10 months.

I have bad genes and I always told my mum that I guess the reason why she gained weight is because they did not beleive in going to gym and just settled back into their normal lives after having kids. But now that I have had a baby and I just also settled back into my normal life and was slack at the gym.

Being real with myself and others is important to me. So I will post all my details of my attempt to lose this 17kgs of weight. Its like carrying another person around, maybe a midget LOL.

Weight: 82 kgs
Total to lose: 17 kgs
Target Weight: 65 kgs
Duration: 4 - 6 Months



Mini Goal
Mini Goal Target Weight: 79 kgs
Total to lose: 5 kgs



So I have to lose 17kgs by the 31st July 2009 (which is my birthday). I will update my weight on a monthly basis.

Words of encouragement and motivation is much needed :)

Its on its way

Its finally warming up now, not as cold as it use to be! Its finally on its way... Spring.

Can't wait to start wearing some sandals again and go for a decent pedicure to show it off not cover it up with boots!

Hopefully spring will come with its own blessings.

Planning a vacation for October to Thailand and Malaysia, so I am looking forward to that, needed some motivation to lose weight, now I have some because I wanna look great in my bikini.

But before that, its Ramadan in September. So I am looking forward to that too, its such a spiritual month!

Reuniting

Yes! Its true, the Spice Girls are reuniting! Bringing out a greatest hits album and then doing a world tour which includes my home town Cape Town in January 2008!





Viva Forever

Style

I have been trying a new style recently and I am actually pulling it off. For those who don't know I am always wearing slacks and jeans and all of my tops are black. I am still using my staple colours, black and dark grey but with a new style. Will post picks of myself soon but in the meantime I am posting some pics of the general style.

Some cute dresses to match up with leggings as well....,.

Unproductive

I haven't been productive over this week, been so lazy!

Although I finished a whole lot of work, I still feel lazy and not up for anything.

Tonight I am going to a friends place for supper with my husband. I am actually so excited coz I haven't seen them in ages and Ayesha is pregnant and I am so excited to hear about her pregnancy experience so far!

Yes I am trying for a baby, Inshallah, its all in Allah (SWA's) hands!!!

Some women are fortunate to fall pregnanct immediately after they have left their contraception and some have to wait a while for it to work out of their systems. I guess I am the latter.

But I am happy to just be as well! To carry on enjoying married life and travelling etc.

I also haven't seen alot of my friends, we all have such hectic schedules and its winter so everyone wants to be in the comfort of their own homes.

Gotta dash, enjoy the weekend!!! Happy Friday, Jumuah Mubarak
