Kicking butt!

Wow- what a surprise! I had prepared myself for a moderate loss this week, being TTOM and having a few slip-ups food-wise, but I lost 1.5kg this week! I am amazed!! But extremely happy- I'm now only 7kg away from my goal weight.

I credit my loss with the amount of exercise I am doing- with the running being the most important component of that. I had to do 2x8min last night as part of the C25K program and I did feel like I could go on after my 1st lot of 8, so I think I am prepared for my 1st 20min block this weekend.

I am also in a good position motivation-wise. Whenever I am faced with a temptation I think about about Jenn and the girls doing the Biggest Loser Challenge and think "na- I owe it to them to stay strong". And mostly I have! Really in the scheme of things, my few slip-ups fall within my points allowance for the week, but I am so in "the zone" at the moment I perceive any treat as a weakness. So this week I hope to continue as I have done the last few weeks. I have another quiet weekend lined up, so hopefully I will make my mini-goal of 74kg next Friday with a 1kg loss. But after such a big loss this week, I won't hold my breath- I will be happy with 0.5kg loss.
