Setting Goals

My homework this weekend is to write down my goals and aspirations.
I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up so goal setting has always been a challenge.
I want to ...
to get down to 65kilos,
the PCOS symptoms to go away and never come back,
to be able to outrun my dog ;)
to look good in my wedding dress.
to buy a house
to find a job
I want that job to be one that fits me, a job that I feel is mine, was meant for me.
to become financially independent
to declutter the house, I would love to live showroom style with a few personal touches to make it feel like home
I want chooks
I want veggie gardens
I want to foster dogs
to be more content with who I am, it's a hard one this one, because my discontent with who I am is pushing me to enrol in learning again this year, it is pushing me to lose another 20 odd kilos and so it goes, so I can't be content with who I am until I am who I want to be.


Now to sort those goals into categories

for the purpose of homework I will stick to those goals that are JKS goals

Health and fitness

to get down to 65kilos,
the PCOS symptoms to go away and never come back,
to be able to outrun my dog ;)
to look good in my wedding dress.


Now to elaborate

I was 63 kilo when I found out I was having my first baby, I can see myself at 65kg, this would put me in size 10 jeans and 12 tops.
My PCOS symptoms include annoying little pimples on my chest, lethargy, irritability, excess weight, lack of period, my menses have come back since I stopped eating sugar and the pimples have gone so I know I am on the right track
My dog being Chomp, an American Bulldog, I want him to be at his peak physical state and to do that I need to exercise him. He loves his walkies and I would like to be able to run with him.
Wedding date is looming, I still have 10 months to go, I have yet to chose my dress but it will be a size 10 or 12, who wants a fat bride lol

Stay tuned for part two...............

Still going strong

It's been a while since I last posted, I have shed 6 kilo since October, so not a shabby effort, I essentially stopped my diet tracking over the Christmas break, I knew I was going to go off the rails and figured if I keep filling in my food diary that I would just get the guilts and it would all fall apart, I kept up the exercise and for the most part ate healthy foods, but I allowed myself a slice or 3 of Pav over Christmas and the Rum Balls I made were just divine, there were other nasties that crept in, and I spent a week at my parents house, just the thought of going there adds a kilo, I caught up with my brothers and sisters that I haven't seen in ages and a couple of boozy nights followed, it was a great time. And best of all, I am back on the wagon and not at all feeling like I have failed.
