eat less move more, check-in 1

Roight.  I’m back from holidays and my pants are fine if I don’t have to breathe.  And as much as it pains me to do so, I am going to eat less and move more.  My aim is to move towards my value of physical wellbeing by making small adjustments to my lifestyle which will be embedded in my habits and last long term.  I don’t expect sudden or dramatic results.  Slow is good.  Slow means long lasting change and ultimately success.  Success is when I reach my weight goal and am psychologically accepting of my weight and physical wellbeing.

goals

1.    Lose 8 kilos.  A trimmer, taughter, and terrific-er (a word) bod

1.    Eat less

2.    Move more

3.    Monitor the results, analyse, adjust and repeat 

tools of trade

1.    Journal – monitor my food, exercise and weight.  I also have an app on my phone which helps with this.  Technology!  So it must be good, right?

2.    Report my results via this blog to keep me accountable.  

·         How often?  At least fortnightly.  Probably more.  

·         For how long?  At least until Christmas.  Probably longer.  Let me just say, that losing 8 kilos will take me a lot longer than Christmas.  But the commitment that I’m making right now, is until Christmas.  This doesn’t mean I will stop doing everything at Christmas, it just means that I can choose to re-commit, continue, or not at Christmas.  

3.    Gain social support.  If any of my blog-readers would like to join me on this quest, or provide an occasional comment to encourage me that would be wonderful.
