New Year, New Me
Happy New Year everyone! It’s the start of a new year and a new decade!
The start of a new year is always inspiring to get yourself into new routines and better yourself. And for me, this year is a big year for my weight loss!
2009 was my first year using Proactol and it has done wonders to keep my weight down when I couldn’t exercise. When I was exercising regularly, I lost weight quicker and healthier than I had ever lost weight before. I tried out so many different ways of exercising and changed my portions and what I ate. It was a real experimental year to find out what works for me, and by the end of the year, I think I found it!
I know what you’re thinking…At the start of any new year, intentions of what you are going to do is much different to what you actually do! And I’m prepared for that. My husband and I have decided to make a routine so that after work, 4 times a week, we’ll go to the gym together. We’ve never done this before and we are really excited to be doing this as a couple 
We also have a close friend who is joining the same gym and he will be coming with us too! It’s a really exciting time for us as we all have different reasons for going…I want to lose weight, my husband wants to build more strength and our friend wants to tone up!
2010 is the year I reach my ideal weight. I’m so determined and so positive about this, I know I’m going to hit my goal this year! Through 2009, I found out it’s best for me to eat little and often, and that’s what I’m going to stick to! With my new gym routine with my husband, I know I’ll be keeping up the exercise and he’ll be a great help in motivating me and keeping me from skipping sessions! Also for Christmas, my husband bought me Wii Fit Plus and it’s absolutely brilliant! It’s got more exercises, more games and loads more features which keep track of calories and fitness!
I’ve got into the habit of buying lower fat and lower sugar foods, keeping an eye on the calories and making sure I eat much more fresh fruit and vegetables. Now that Christmas is out the way, the chocolates and the sweets are slowly disappearing and so temptation will be far less of a challenge!
So, where am I right now?
Well, I’m about to leave the obese category for good! My BMI is 30.04, soon to finally be under 30 for the first time in so many years! As it’s the new year, here is my new goal…
Current Weight: 167lbs (75kg/11.9 stone)
Ideal Weight: 130lbs (58kg/9.2 stone)
Weight to lose: 37lbs (17kg/2,7 stone)
Exercise: At least 15 minutes exercise everyday, 30 minutes at least every other day.
Diet: 5-6 mini meals throughout the day.
So, here’s to a happy, healthy and successful 2010 for us all!
