Week 4 weigh in "old habits die hard"

Well it’s been 4 weeks since I have started the blog; it’s kind of hard to believe that I have been doing it for this long. They say it takes a month to break a habit and I was just commenting to Alan yesterday that I seem to be in the swing of choosing healthier options, (most of the time). Hmmm so maybe the wives tale habit thingy is true! or partly at least. Mind you I have blowouts, particularly on celebratory occasions but the good thing is I don’t stress about it and just pick up where I left off as soon as I can. None the less 6kgs in 4 weeks isn’t too shabby! You know, I have been wondering this week if I would have lost the same amount of weight if I wasn’t doing the blog? I know, no point wondering because I will never know. Anyway the blog appears to be a good thing…

I’m not sure how many of you read the comment underneath the Alicia Silverstone entry, but the gist of it was that we decided to do 5kg weight loss increments with rewards (yes I am motivated by rewards pathetic I know). Well if your maths or memory serves you well? I have hit my first target so a lovely glossy book here I come. I can’t wait for the 25kg reward, now that’s a real motivator…

A snap shot so far…
