Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

On Monday I weighed myself.  84 kgs light!!   I was horrified.   This is the most I have weighed in my whole life even when I was full term pregnant!

I have high blood pressure.   I have high cholestrol.   I have reflux and God knows what else!

I made a decision to take control of my life.

It is not going to be easy as it means changing most of my habits.

No more Toast and marmalade on a regular basis.   Cakes and biscuits and sweets have a red flag attached.   Butter and full fat dairy products are out again.   Sweet potatoes and oat bran are the go to carbs.   Trying to cut down on red meat and eat more fish (especially mackerel and sardines for Omega 3)

I started by making my own stoneground/oat bran/wheat bran bread.

I cut out wine and just drank soda water in a wine glass.    It did not hit the spot but the arm movement is the same!

I upped my exercise regime.    Aqua robics.    Walking in the Mall and a series of power walking combined with exercises I found in the Woman and Home magazine.

Today is Friday and I have lost 2 kgs!!!!   Yippee.

I have 10 Kgs to lose so I am well on my way.  

Watch this space as I go from fat to lean.

This is not going to be easy and it is for life as I want to be around for my grand kids.

   

Hopefully next week I will see you lighter!
