" There are no ugly women, only lazy ones"
Helena Rubinstein.
I have desperately trying to loose weight the last few years. I am heavily over weight and it is having it's effect on every part of my life. I am SO sick and tired of my body holding me back!
My main problem: I am too lazy!
Currently I am weighing in at a depressing 22 stones! It has to change. I AM changing!
We have just moved in to our new appartment, my 5th semester at Tromsø University has just started and everything is still not in place, but I have decided to set dieting as my main priority after studying.
So... This is me now:
And this is [hopefully] me next christmas.
I have set my eyes on reaching 10-11 stones at christmas next year! This is my long term goal... to half my weight! Phew.
To reach this goal of mine I have set many shorter term goals: 6 months, 3 months, monthly, 2 weeks and weekly goals. As I work at reaching them I can adjust my efforts according to results.
The guidance I needed (the proverbial boot in the rear) was a book called "Burn the fat, feed the muscle" By Tom Venuto that is written for body builders on how to get those muscles growing.
I am by no means wanting to become a body builder, but I am very happy for the book! In the first chapter Mr. Venuto discusses how to motivate yourself, and this is helping me get going... finally... on reaching my goals, no matter how big.
Along with this dieting I am developing good habits all 'round in my everlasting struggle to be the perfect wife for my husband. This summer has given me a lot of time to think, read and ponder. I have gathered a lot of links, blogs, papers and other material that will help me along. I will share as I go.
Untill next time
Mrs. Krogsæter
