Warning: possible rambling ahead.

While I was in the shower this morning (that’s where I get my best ideas!) I was thinking about how it’s been a week now that I’ve been doing my wii fit daily - the first time I’ve completed a whole week since I bought it!

I also got thinking about how many times I have started, and stopped, the "weight loss missions" and how I would have already been at my goal weight if I had not stopped.

This time feels different. I don’t know why. It’s not just the 12 week WAS challenge. I’ve participated in the challenges before. Something is going on in that brain of mine. Everything seems to be in place.

Lets just keep it that way

That’s my aim each day for the first week of the challenge. It’s been a while since I’ve done sit ups and after just doing them for a couple of days, my poor abs (which are hiding somewhere in there) are hurting!

But I’m feeling better for it!

…and still pumped.

32 mins on the wii fit this morning. I would have done more but Annabelle woke up just as I was finishing a round of rhythm boxing and she decided that she wanted to jump on the wii board with me. SO that was my cue to turn it off and start getting ready for our picnic.

It’s been so hot! And when it’s hot, I don’t feel like eating so not much has been passing my lips except water and tons of ice cubes.

Tomorrow is grocery shopping day so I’m planning on stocking up on "good" stuff

See ya tomorrow some time!

Over the last few weeks my weight has been going up and down. My weigh in this morning revealed that I am currently 108.6kg

This is a loss of .2kg from last week.

I had a lovely 2hr walk this morning with Ella in the pram. And I have stocked the fridge with lots of fresh fruit & veggies …. so it’s all systems go.

Today marks Day 1 of the We Are Slimming "I’m ready to shine in 2009" 12 week challenge. Part of the challenge is to post our overall goals that we want to achieve during the challenge and each week, we need to post our weekly goals.

I thought I’d share my goals here as well, seeing as one of my overall goals is to blog here every day throughout the challenge to help me keep accountable.

How about starting with numbers?

SW: 116.5kg

CW: 116.5kg

Waist measurement: 132cm

When we started this blog, I weighed 121.3kg so if we want to be technical, it seems that I have managed to dump 4.8kg. It’s taken me a while but I haven’t exactly been working hard at it so I can’t complain.

What about some pics?

We had to send in 2 "before" shots" and these are the ones I sent in:

William walked in as Bill was taking my side shot…that’s why I have that stupid grin on my face LOL Oh, and we had to hold a vegetable. That’s why there’s a cucumber in my hand! LOL

Back to the challenge though….

My overall goals for the challenge are:

* to lose at least 6kg
* make drinking 1.5L water daily a habit
* make "wii fitting" 30min daily a habit
* complete the whole 12 weeks of the challenge

And my Week 1 goals are:

Food
* no soft drink
* at least 1 serving of fruit each day
* watch portions
* drink 1.5L water
Exercise
* 30mins on wii fit every day
* 1 hour walk x 3
* 50 sit ups x 7
Other
* do a quick tidy up before going to bed each night
* blog every day on weight loss blog to help stay on track

SO! That’s where I’m at right now. Where are you?
