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!!
