It's been a month since xmas. I guess I haven't really been that strict. It's been hot, I have hardly exercised - and I haven't 100% stuck to my diet.
This week, I did get to cross my next goal off. I'm noticing clothes feeling a lot looser - I had to buy some new ones. I bought a lot actually, my new found confidence meant I've gone on a shopping binge.
I'm wearing dresses and sleeveless tops and I'm ok with it. I've lost just over 15kgs and I'm proud of myself.
I've been feeling a little down about it all though, I'm not gonna lie. I have a bad day - and I put on weight over the whole week. I feel like that's bullshit and I am afraid of when I get to my goal weight - that I'll just put it all back on again.
I need to exercise more. I was so into it. I must get into it again.
That will be my goal for the next month. To exercise at LEAST 3 times a week.
I'm tired and can't think anymore for tonight. Hopefully I'll post again soon.

Back on track!
So it's now been a week since I've been back on the weight-loss train again full time.
I have reached my original goal of getting under 120kg... FINALLY! My new goal, as previously mentioned is getting to 115kg by xmas. I think dropping down to 1200 cal was the best idea. Even if I have a hungry day I can eat a light snack and still be eating less than I was a few weeks ago.
I also have gained more confidence in the last couple of weeks. A big thing (though it sounds like nothing) was wearing a new dress to work last week - with my bare, pale legs showing!! I had so many compliments on my dress, I'm addicted and want more pretty things. Not sure if my bank account agrees however!!
On Saturday I picked up my brand new Wii U. I got a few games including Just Dance 4 and Your Shape Fitness. These workouts kick my ass, I haven't sweated this hard from exercise in I don't know how many years. I'm going to have to build my strength and fitness up to be able to do a decent amount, but for now I've done about 30 mins a day and about 130 cal burned off. I'm pretty proud of myself. I remembered how much I used to enjoy dancing before I got fat - I hope this helps me on the path to being the healthy new Kittabella that I'm craving to be.
I will become the new, healthy and happy Kittabella I want to be. I'm already seeing her peak through the cracks.

On diet hiatus for my birthday - but starting to blog as I create a new "me"
I'm on holidays for a week to celebrate and relax for my 32nd birthday.
Most people would probably shun the fact that I refuse to stick to my diet 100% over my birthday, most people probably think that it's a sign of weakness.
For a long time now, I've learned the most important thing in life is happiness. If you're not happy, then you're just not living. I enjoy food, and I enjoy birthdays - hence I shall enjoy my birthday.
I'm not saying I'm going to eat a whole chocolate mud cake and a McDonalds family sized meal to myself - it doesn't appeal to me and honestly, my body would reject it and I'd be sick for 24hrs. I'm just going to not feel any guilt over anything I do eat, and not going to worry that my calorie count is higher than it should be.
My new goal is to lose another 5kg by New Years. I do not set myself unrealistic goals. I wanted to get under 120kg by Xmas, and as I'm already sitting at 120.7 as of this morning, I have no doubt I can get to 115 by the end of the year.
Come the new year, my resolution is to begin the exercise to kick my body into what I call "phase 2" of my diet.
I can't eat as much as I used to. I literally bring my food back up if I even try. To avoid this happening, I listen to my body telling me to stop eating. I eat slowly and enjoy every mouthful. I do not eat just for the hell of it... at least I try not to.
I'm starting this blog to put my thoughts down - put my goals out there - and try to stick to it.
It's been almost 5 months since I quit smoking for good. I've been on the diet for about 3 months. I'm so happy and impressed with myself and as long as I keep feeling amazing and see the weight drop, my confidence will continue to soar and my health will continue to increase.
Life is good right now - happy birthday to me!!
