First weigh in of the year...

First weigh in of the year didnt go so well... the last time i weighed in was 15.12.11 - 10 days before xmas. Lets just say even though i stuck to my goal of exercising every day, my food choices wasnt the best - therefore i had a 1.5kg gain (waaahhhh!!) Eating chocolate every day for 3 wks - you would expect that! I never used to have a sweet tooth, but recently i just cant get enough of the creamy sweet goodness! But having said that i havent eaten chocolate since being back at work (2 days! woo!) ...that was, until tonight, when i let my emotions get the best of me and headed straight to the fridge. When i got a grip of myself, i then proceeded to actually throw away all remaining chocolate in my household!
I know i was totally expecting a gain today but for some reason seeing it on the scales then writen down made it more real... and it really bummed me out. I have had a really great last few days and felt like i was back on track 110%...

I HATE THAT I HAVE AN OBSESSION WITH THE SCALES!

Its sucks that (every) morning i stand on the scales it actually predicts the mood i am going to be in for the whole day... its CRAZINESS!! Why oh why do i let the scales run my life...?? *i know i am only suppose to weigh myself once a week... why cant i help but jump on the devil scales every morning & make myself miserable all day (which eventually leads to binge eating) i already know the answer to this:

"HI! my name is Amy and i am a self sabotager!"

I cant let it get the best of me... and i cant let it get me down! I WILL not let the scales WIN! I have to get over it, suck it up and just keep going!! So enough feeling sorry for myself - i have a job to do! I have goals to achieve!!

Speaking of goals - i took the pludge to leave my first fitness goal for 2012 in the hands of my facebook friends - by posting a status that said the follow:

For every person who 'likes' this status I will run/walk/hop/skip/lunge 1km in your honor by the end of Jan as my first fitness challenge for 2012!

Well... this resulted in 77 likes!! WOAH!! What the hell was i thinking?!! Is this even really possible? Can i do this? 77kms in 3wks...? Well, i have to be a woman true to my word & give it my best shot! I will do EVERY km i promised i would - no matter how long it takes me!! Im going to need the fitness gods to be on my side with this challenge!! *Calling all fitness gods....!!*
If this doesnt kick start my year to a fitter, healthier, skinner me, i dont know what will!!

I said on the stroke of midnight on New Years Eve that 2012 was my year to step out of my comfort zone & do things i wouldnt normally do. To live experiances & have adventures in life, love & fitness... this is the first step!

Gotta keep motivated, Gotta keep inspired, Gotta keep focused,Gotta keep MOVING!!
