It goes without saying that it's been awhile. A looooong while. Mostly I'm back because I wanted somewhere to chart the goal I've set myself for the next 30 days. What's that you say? But Stephanie, you always give up before you get there!
Okay, you're right in that most of the time I do give up before I get there. BUT remember that time way back in 2008 when I lost 12kg over six months by being consistent? I do. It was amazing. I didn't feel hungry, deprived, angry, or depressed. Mostly I felt empowered. And smaller. I definitely felt a whole lot smaller. My chins didn't get in the way when I was talking and that was a fantastic feeling.
So for the next 30 days we're going to have a little daily chat about how that's going. Don't worry, I'm not going to inundate you with food pictures. No, really I'm not. I'm an awful cook and the last thing you need is evidence of how bad I am. It may just put you off eating altogether. Instead I'm going to write about the way it makes me feel and any changes in my body.
Why? Okay, I guess that's a fair question. In part because I still haven't quite let go of my long-term belief that skinny is just better, and also because two writers told me today that one of the keys to writing is shedding yourself of the baggage. Unfortunately that includes physical. Creeping up around 70kg again (but still under!) I'm guessing there's a little baggage there to shed. Plus, they say you should write about what you know. Yeah I'm definitely a contender for the food addiction and weight struggle crowns...
If you're on a similar journey I would love to hear from you x

WOW!!! You are back! I'm glad :)
I'm sure you don't need to lose weight or get fit. I'm sure you are already at perfect levels of both. But hey, blogs are great for exchanging ideas, recipes, training notes etc, etc.
Whoa!! You must've found this only seconds after I posted it. Was thinking as I wrote it that nobody would even have this address anymore. Of course you do, Liz!! :-)
I was trying to find other blogs on certain topics, but I can't actually find a search function to find other blogs, and for the life of me I can't remember how to use this site (is that called old age???).
