My Mission - Lose Weight!

I am on a mission to lose some weight!

The history of my weight reads like an epic tragedy, the moment i get anything achieved i manage to self sabotage! which is why i am blogging about this.

 Last summer i dropped around 30lbs i went from 189lbs to 159lbs It was great, i felt happy healthy and energised, but then winter set in and my body went into full on hibernation mode, i stocked up on carbs and slept a lot (the joys of being a student!) The long and short of it, i not only gained the weight back but i added an extra 10lbs on top.

when i first moved to Norway i was at 169lbs, and i felt good!

I have been trying to lose again but it has been hard, living with a boy who is used to surviving off take-aways and frozen pizzas hasn't helped. I currently stand at around 192lbs which feels horrible on my body but i have decided a change is in order.

I have a new job which should keep me busy and stop me snacking all the time, and i have explained to the boy that pizza's don't make me happy so even if he wants to get one can he remember not to ask me, because usually if asked my will power gives up and i give in!

So i have set myself a GOAL it is currently 17 weeks until Christmas (yay) I would like to lose at least 2lbs every week untill then which would mean i would be down by 34lbs - sounds good to me.

I plan to do this by...

• eating balanced healthy meals packed with lean protein, whole grains and salad.
• NOT drinking soda and instead drinking water or cordial
• Walking more, at the moment i have figured out a great walk which takes me about 11km (just under 7miles) but i usually do it like once and then forget to do it for a few weeks so now i have decided to try and do it at least twice a week once during the week and once on the weekend.

I have quite a few goal dresses and things that i want to fit into but by far my favorite is this one

I already have the dress in a size M and have never worn it! although 34lbs isn't going to get me into it, it's certainly going to get me on my way.

I am going to use part of my blog to write about trying to lose weight and keep a track of how i am doing (you should be able to see a tab in the links bar soon!)


I would love it if any of you guys have any TIPS or RECIPES to help me? or if anyone would like to join me in this weight loss i would love to have some support in getting to my goal.
