Generally I'm not the bragging type but...

GOOD ON ME

It was friggin' hard work, mind you.

5kg's doesn't sound like much but when it's the pesky LAST five, it feels like a ton.

I am now under my pre-baby (who is not a baby anymore but now a toddler) weight.

Since my last post on this, it has been a.... shedload of weeks.  I have been a bit slack on updating 'cause...  well.... we packed up, went on a holiday and moved countries.

What worked
  • Conquering my cheese addiction
  • Eating less
  • Calorie counting
  • Keeping a food diary www.myfitnesspal.com
  • Interesting, filling salads for lunch
What didn't work
  • Not eating carbs after 5pm - too complicated, made no difference
  • Eating small regular meals - made no difference, its more about overall calories consumed in a day
Best moments
  • Achieving my goal
  • Realisation that walking and Pilates do 'count' as exercise
  • Vodka and Diet Coke has less calories than wine
Worst moments
  • Cheese has a humungous amount of calories
  • Losing one week only to put back on the next
Now the hardest part begins...

Keeping it off - stay tuned.
