So with a new year, comes a whole list of new resolutions as usual…. But i will try something new this year! See we always resolve to lose 20 kilos, quit smoking or some other really big thing that’s just so overwhelming, we fail inevitably, well i do anyway!

Why not set smaller goals to be accomplished over a few months instead of 3 big things to be done in a year?

I’ve been thinking about what i’d like to work on the next 3 months and here they are:

• get fitter!!!!!! Do anything i want as long as i get MOVING off the couch and this at least 3 times a week
• smile more (generally be less grumpy at work :D)
• drink, drink, drink Water
• cook more at home and eat less processed foods, thus eat more fresh veg and fruit
• spend less money on clothes and luxury goods in order to buy a new car this year

Voilà :)…… Plus, i’ve signed into Snarky’s Spring into weightloss, a WW challenge Check it out, i think it’s a great idea and some of us might need the kick in the butt after the end of year festivities (well i’m sure i do ).

I’m writing this on the day after the big feast leaving me feeling like a giant stuffed turkey

I hope everyone is having a good Christmas with the loved ones and not indulging in too many rich foods? As for me i had a great Christmas Eve dinner with my Parents and brother but there was wayyyyy too much food, so i’m left with huge amounts of leftovers going from starters up to dessert. I hate it!  k

Did you all get nice pressies?

Now is the time to start thinking on new RESOLUTIONS for next year….  oh noooooo

…. has been a rather busy year for me! It was filled with constant ups and downs, one house-moving and alot of excuse-making! Yes, excuses! I reckon i have had plenty of those for my poor motivation to stick to the plan (i’m actually quite good at them )

Now if i look back at 2007, i see that i have started my first attempt at WW in May and i’ll be starting my 5th attempt in January i guess. Nothing to be proud of here, but i’ve decided to cut the crap (excuse the language ladies) and finally be honest with myself and share this with you all. I’ve lost a total of 3 kilos from May until now, that’s really lame?! But bear in mind that i would have gained 5 and lost 3 then again gained 4 and lost 5, it’s was yoyo-ing at its best

Thinking about this, makes me wonder if i really really want to loose those kilos…. Deep down i’m still a lazy brat and find it real hard to make an effort towards a better lifestyle, why is it we always self-sabotage ourselves like that? This year i thought weightloss would come to me as a great big epiphany and it would just click and i would just cut eating junk and finally eat food that is good for me. But i’ve had to discover that it won’t be like that, and that i will have to work EVERY-bloody-DAY on acquiring a better lifestyle because if i let loose i will slip and fall off again, and let me tell you, that freaks me out!

So here i am, taking babystep after babystep towards a smaller me, because running will only make me fall on my ass once again.

Howdy all!

I know, I know… it’s been way too long again!

I have a question for you and i hope maybe you can help me out? I’ve had really bad stomach cramps on Friday and was wondering maybe it was because i had been eating too much fiber? I’d been having fiber supplemented fruit juice in the morning, Allbran Flakes and other fullgrain products for a few days now and all of a sudden friday i get these really bad stomach cramps. They lasted all day and the next day it was more or less fine again… Could Fiber be doing that to me? I have no idea so i hope you can maybe answer that question

Thanks
