Happy New Year everybody! hope you all had a great break and ready to tackle the challenges of 2009 whatever they maybe. |
Now the party's over! But who's still got remnance of all that lingering christmas spirit? No, I don't mean all the warm fuzzies of being with family and sharing the joys of being together over the festive period. I mean the 'jingling', not of the christmas bells, but of the extra padding you've gained on your hips from the excess food and drink that you've indulged in over the past month! |
Hands up all those who've got the jingles. Yes even you who don't dare to step on the scales in case you can't handle the frightening number that might stare back at you. You probably don't even have to step on the scales to know a couple of kgs have crept on. You can tell by the way your clothes are feeling tighter and you've had to loosen your belt. But don't worry, I sympathise with you as I'm also in that situation. The ghost of christmas past (or should that be carbs) has caught up with me...yikes. |
So its time to nip this thing in the bud (or should that be butt!) before the jinggling gets too big. My initial goal is just to lose 3kg so that I can get to a more aesthetic 55kg. I figured, if it took me 2 months to put on the extra 3kg, its going to take 2 months to get it off. But hopefully I can get it off faster than that. I'm going to Australia for holiday in Feb so that'll be a good goal for me to trim down for. I'm not going to go hard out into pre contest mode but I'll be seriously cleaning up my diet. Not that I'm an unhealthy eater, but just to get rid of things that have crept into my diet. And ofcourse to increase my cardio. |
