A Weighty Issue

2012 was going to be different. It was going to be the year of change, the chance to maintain a healthier body weight and lifestyle. The only problem so far...I'm failing dismally!!! So in a sheer attempt of desperation to help my motivation, I am now taking to my blog.

I don't like discussing weighty issues but once again, this post is written in an attempt to be truthful to myself and gain inspiration from others. So in attempt to be truthful, I will share the following with you:

• I currently weigh in at 66kg, 6-8 kilos heavier than I was at school but less than the start of the year...we won't even go there
  
• I was around 60kg at the time of my wedding 3 years ago, so what went wrong?
  
• I am a size 11 but should be at least a 10
• BMI of 24.2, on the edge of the healthy weight range
• My excerise rountine involves occasionally walking the dog
  

Now for my goals:

• To lose approximately 6 kilos
• To lessen my sugar intake, this includes cutting back on lollies, chocolate and coffee
  
• To try to abide more by the food pyramid
  
• To reduce my BMI to around 20.2 to 22
• To try to do more muscle related exercises and be a lot more active

So tonight, I say goodbye to delicious meals such as Eggs Benedict, as made this morning and cupcakes such as the St. Patrick's Day ones I made yesterday (both illustrated below) and hello to healthier alternatives.
