Trim it.


I am overweight. I know it. I thought about my 'lifestyle today' and I do have my pros and cons. I have been trying to live as healthy as possible, I actually eat a lot of vegetables, I have my 5 a day, I don't eat much, I have reduced my drinking to almost zero (in fact since I got back in October I have had 7 drinks.) 7 drinks in 4 months is not bad. I have reduced my smoking.
I know I have to be healthier; I need to change my diet (My bad habit of not eating the whole day and only eat in the evenings!), I need to be a lot more active on a daily basis not just when we have groups in and I need to cut out the nicotine completely. According to the doctor I need to significantly reduce my carbs due to my 'condition'.
Yes, the doctor. It takes a visit to the doctor to push me to lose the excess baggage I have been carrying (losing and putting it back on) since 2009. For health and baby making purposes I need to lose 18kg.

Is he shitting me 18kg? Oh yeah by the way the 'condition' I am in makes it difficult for me to lose weight in fact if anything my weight has increased significantly because of it. Not ready to blog about the 'condition' yet, am going to do a bit of research on it first.

Till then. Broccoli and carrots are my new best friends. Saying that its awesome that I have the support of my loved ones. My husband is my new diet buddy and my cousin offered to spend some afternoons walking with me. Family and friends: what would you do without them?
