This time I know its for real...

Crunch time finally arrived- yay!!! I've been waiting for that spark of something to ignite my desire to be at goal again, and it finally arrived on Friday. My weigh-in day. It was a terrible result, but just what I needed to give me back my steely resolve. I weigh 73kg. Bloody awful- 5 kg from goal! Up till yesterday, I just wasn't bothered. Just ate what I feel liked, when I felt like it. It hasn't helped I was ill last weekend I guess, but now I feel great, and I am ready to rip into it. I've set myself the challenge of a perfect WW week. Its 2:15pm on Saturday, and so far, so good. If I can get through tonight without giving into temptation, I'll be doing ok! Its when you have a few and then go... I'll just have this chocolate bar from the vending machine, or I might have some cake from the bistro, that things start to unravel! It helps that I am broke- the week before pay day is always a great means of avoiding indulgence!

Today, I bought the tools by which I can get back into my running with avengeance- a treadmill and some new joggers. My old ones have done a great job to cop the abuse I gave it this last year and a bit, but they have started to rub, and so I thought better to get some new ones this week, so they are broken in for the City to Surf. Speaking of which, I put in my entry for the race yesterday... I told you my resolve and determination has come back :) And with a treadmill at home, it means Scoop doesn't feel so neglected by me going off to the gym every night, and he has the means to start getting fit as well! Its win win!.... Maybe not for my credit card....
