When the effort pays off!

Just a quick post.  The school ball was on Saturday night.  This time last year, I went to the ball also.  This time last year - I was probably at my biggest, and another couple of months from starting this whole process and five months from surgery.  One year down the track - all the effort I have made over the last year is finally showing :)

Challenge!

Last week marked 6 months since surgery.  A lot has happened in the 6 months and Im pretty pleased with my progress and how my life has generally changed for the better.  To be honest the weight loss messes with my head a fair bit, and what I see in the mirror is not always what is actually there.  Im still the fat girl from last year.  This gets better with time right?

6 months marked a big fill - 1 mL - definitely feeling the restriction now.  Wondered if it was too much but think after a week it might be ok.

Anyway, with Melbourne looming in about 10 weeks, I have set myself a challenge.
 
Lose 10 kilos in 10 weeks!

A big challenge - yes, but do- able yes!

Kick up the healthy eating and exercise!  With Winter starting to leave our shores - it will be easier.  Having this goal will help.  If achieved in time for Melbourne - the shopping district will be my oyster :)




Keep my eyes on the prize!
