The Beginning

A couple of Monday nights ago, I caught up with 2 of my best girlfriends for a Mexican Fiesta. Over dinner, we got chatting about the lack of happiness with our weight, and made a pact to all go on the weight loss journey together. My friend Hannah was already going to Weight Watchers, so I decided to join her at her meetings so we could embark on the journey together. My other friend Lanz, was also going to join up with us on the following monday, but she couldn't wait and decide to go back to Jenny Craig. Alas we were disappointed she wasn't joining us, but when making the pact she agreed to exercise with us.


Monday rolled around and I rejoined WW. I'm a Lifetime Member back from 2002. I've put all the weight I lost the 1st time PLUS about 25kg more.


I walked into the meeting 15 minutes after the starting time and the leader barked at me and told me I was late!!! At this point, I was ready to leave!!!! Not a good start, did not feel welcomed at all. I messaged friend Hannah and she begged me to stay. I stayed reluctantly.


It was NOT a happy reunion with the scales, when I jumped on and realised I weighed more than I thought. Initial thoughts were "Wow I am never going to get all this off".


I stayed for the meeting and walked away feeling focused and ready. I sat down with my folks on Monday night and they are also going to go on the weight loss journey with me. I spoke with my work mates and told them as well, so they can also help me stay on track. My boyfriend James is also very supportive of me and is going to help me as well!!


Hannah and I have done Zumba monday and tuesday nights, today we are going for a walk around the river and we have also teed up a walking date on friday after work. Our promise to each other is 4 times a week we are going to exercise together.


Now into my 2nd day of the 1st week, and I am weighing all my foods religiously, tracking every mouthful I have on my iphone and ipad apps (so handy for tracking) and I find this is definitely keeping me more focused!!


Let's see how the rest of my week goes??


Fingers crossed!!!
