Another hiatus. Which means more months down the drain where I haven't actually done anything super pro-active about getting my weight down.
But, I am much more motivated than ever now because the BF and I had the discussion about our future etc and have decided that we will start to seriously try for a baby next year. He said was ready right now, but we both know... well, I know... that there is no point actively trying now before I have my operation.
That said, we are not using any birth control now and I feel like we're moving in the right direction.
I turn 30 in the first part of next year, and I seriously don't want to be still having this same discussion with myself then ("Come on, you have to get serious. You can do this. Let's start for real tomorrow"). So, I've set myself some absolute deadlines.
By the 1st of December, I want to have lost at least 18kgs and then I can ring up my GP and get him to schedule the specialist appointment for me again. I can then tell the specialist that I have lost half of what I need to lose, and can we schedule the operation.
Given that we are working with the NHS, I figured by the time that I get to have this appointment with the specialist and by the time he schedules the operation, it will be around March next year and by then (1st of April) I will have lost the remaining 18kgs.
So, I need to lose the first 18kgs in 5 months and the second 18kgs in 4 months.
Perhaps the first 18kgs will come off much quicker than the second lot, in which case I will just move the schedule around. OMG imagine if I could do it even quicker than that!! There's 24 weeks left til the start of December, so losing 18kgs seems entirely possible, right?? That's less than 1kg per week. I can do that.
Basically, as soon as I get the first 18kgs off I am making that call.
Also, my sister is moving to London until December soon. She knows about the baby plans and is super super excited and has promised to help me and make the time she stays just like boot camp. It's just what I need! We are going to join some sports teams, go swimming and do early morning walks.
No more coke either. It's been 6 days.
Tomorrow I will do a weigh-in and get shit down on paper so to speak. I am sure I will have put on weight since the last time I blogged. Urgh. But.....
I'm back baby!
