Accountable Monday (Written on a Friday)

Last Week: 74.3kg
This Week: 73.4kg
Loss: 0.9kg

2 x Weight Class, 2 x Exercise Video, 1 x Jog

I'm happy with the loss this week but really could have done much better with my exercise.

I'm not unhappy with my exercise because I think I should be doing an hour a day or anything. I'm just not one of 'those' people and don't think I ever will be BUT I want to start having goals that don't have to do with numbers on a scale. Partially because I've got an addictive personality and I can see myself becoming a little obsessed and partially because if this is a 'lifestyle change' and not a diet, I don't want to be chained to the scale forever.

So:

I've decided to try and turn myself into a runner. Not a marathon runner but just someone who can say, "oh yeah, I run" and mean more than, "oh yeah, if someone was chasing me I would run away". I've been reading a few blogs about people who are also trying to lose weight and starting to run and they're really keeping me motivated!

In terms of my non-weight loss goals (which I mentioned in last weeks post):

Call the garden man
Call the real estate agents and start getting my house ready for renting
Start packing some of my stuff
Organsie my laptop situation

I can now say that I DID THEM... ALL OF THEM. Yay me!! But I'll also admit that I did them on Wednesday so really if my accountable Monday post was actually written on MONDAY, this would have been a productivity FAIL. I've decided to not sweat the small stuff and still consider it a win. ha

As an additional note I wanted to say that I'm adding 'weight loss books' to my repository of motivation. I ordered three and one came through two days ago. It's called "The adventures of Diet Girl' by Shauna Reid and it was great. The woman is an inspiration and I got a lot out of the book. I love her take on weight loss, which is basically: try to make healthy choices when you can and don't let your weight hold you back. She, like me, loooooooves food. All food. It's great to read about someone that has lost weight and is happy and still eats ice cream, cheese and all those other yummy things. I can't wait until I too am 'Moderation Girl'.

Anyway, I better run!
