Day 38

I'm feeling quite energised and optimistic today! The fumes of gluttony from the weekend have finally gone and I'm back on track mentally and physically.

I had a fabulous work out this morning: forty-five minutes cardio followed by one hundred lunges, fifty squats (which hurt like hell!) and some stomach crunches! To top all that my daughter asked me to walk down to the local cafe with her and a playmate so I feel Ive done my bit on the exercise front.

My husband informed me the other day that unless I report some major results soon, my followers would lose interest and stop rooting for me - he very kindly suggested that the most efficient way to do this would be to check myself into to hospital for a leg amputation (Oh yee of little faith!) and therefore be able to show some  instant weight loss! Although the idea is totally outrageous (or is it?), I do get what he is saying, I have decided to give myself mini goals to keep up my momentum, and hopefully yours. Although I feel extremely grateful and sometimes a little unworthy of all your support, I am also writing this blog for selfish reasons. I find that if I face the truth and see it in black and white, my feet are kept firmly on the ground and I'm completely in touch with the reality of the situation no-matter how ugly it may be!  Back to the mini goal - I am going to try my damnedest to drop three and a half  kilos by next Thursday.  I can just hear my girlfriends saying "Don't be ridiculous, its not possible!". Lets see, I would love to prove you wrong! x
