it's all in yer 'ead

Trying not to overthink "motivation"... what it is? what it does? what it achieves? goal-setting, and I mean REAL goal setting - where you know EXACTLY what it is you want to achieve. No fuzzy edges. So, I wanted to lose weight for Keith's 40th - which was last Saturday night. I think I looked happy, fabulous, slim (mer) than normal. It was a key 'marker' in the weight-loss plan.

Now I need to stay on track - stay motivated - stay focused. I want to lose enough to confidently wear a bikini on holiday in 8 weeks time. Yes, 8 weeks. I need to really have a clear idea in my mind - BIKINI. Sunshine. holidays. relaxing. fresh fruit. It's so real I can almost touch it :)

That means I want to lose at least another 5 kilos. 78kgs minus 5 equals 73kgs : which is what I weighed when I conceived baby #1.

I can do this!

So things are going well. Reading my book on Willpower and thinking about the "how" of losing weight and sticking to a diet. One of the big things about goal setting and goal-reaching is telling people that you're on the path, doing the thang, going to succeed.

Suf is enthused and has put my training up to twice a week. What fun! what pain :(

And on we go.
