Challenge check-in

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012

Current Weight: 75,7 kg (166,54 lbs)
Starting weight: 97, 8 kg (215,16 kg)

Weight lost since July 2011: -22,1 kg (- 48,62 lbs)

CHALLENGE until July 5th:
arrive at normal BMI:  5,2 kg  (11,44 lbs) to go

Yesterday evening I snapped at everyone in my way, so I knew the diet was on the right track! That always happens to me when I am back on attack, the second evening! 

Why does my resolve to work out last three workouts/one week max? Or why does rainy weather have anything to do with it? I can't drag myself to the gym these days. Does reading "Shape" magazine count as a workout? Or downloading the Couch to 5 K plan? If so, I worked out the last two days. If you actually have to lace up your sneakers, then I didn't!

I mean, I don't have to look far for good excuses not to go work out: I have to revise my dissertation and have to make it into a book - that will take months, and means I *always* have something to do, no office or regular hours required. And I actually do work if I don't go to the gym. But mens sana in corpore sano, right?

Happy Dukaning, and I am firmly committed (ok, that's a lie: let's say 73,56%) to go to the gym this afternoon!

  1. Great losses Moonday! Glad you're doing so well on attack! LOL. I find if I think about working out enough I will eventually do it, I annoy myself so much feeling guilty about not doing it, that if I do, it it eases my mind a little. Why do I always work best with guilt as a motivator? Who knows???? The word 'mother' comes to mind...... Bless her! LOL.

  2. Moonday!!! I hear you!! I have used what is left of my flu to stay in bed and lounge!! I see your goal of 5kgs to get to Normal weight and I envy you!! Good envy! I am sure you will be able to do it!!! I am still about 8 kgs away from normal BMI and it took me 4 months to lose that!!! But can't achieve it if you don't try it, no? And no time to start like now etc etc.
    5 kgs in more than 5 weeks!!! I know you WILL do it!!! CHEERS!!!!

  3. I am the SAME way about exercising. It's really silly too, its like I have to have some kind of ongoing riot within myself to feel like I'm validated for the day and most of the time it doesn't seem to matter if the good and sensible me or the naughty and resistant me win, until I step on the scale anyway. Maybe if you put together some scratch and sniff stickers and a calendar and give yourself one everytime you workout??? I like scratch and sniff stickers, not the chocolate ones, but the ones that smell like random...lol. Hugs....You can do it!

  4. LOL. I am the same way, don't worry. When I am doing well on the diet, staying away from fattier meats, restricting my carbs, holding back on cravings, I snap at absolutely anything. 'DID THAT LAMP WINK AT ME!? IT BETTER NOT HAVE WINKED AT ME, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?! GARRRRGGGGG!'

    Just bitchy :P

    Good luck with the working out, It's so difficult to push yourself to get there. Do it!
