I am not talking about a length of timber...
This is the title of my new challenge. Reading one of the many blogs that I tick past each week I read something about a 4 week challenge... I am sorry I can't recall who's blog it was (I have even tried looking for it!!!) 12 weeks seems to drag on and on... so I have planned a short, quick, wee 4 week one!
So.. in a nut shell - The aim is to lose 2kg in 4 weeks. I have a few people from our little Weight watchers meeting joining me on this.. With the change in the season, the timing is perfect to get things moving again.
Some of the rules for us is to Track everything we eat.. even if we go over points (i have been known in the past to stop counting once I got my my limit!!!)
Clock up at least 70,000 steps each week and ONLY have 14 sugar points for the week!!
The basics.... but that should get us to toe the line again and get rid of 2kg.
The reward - A Massage!!!!!
I have noticed that I eat total crap leading up to and during TTOM.. three weeks hard work gone! I haven't always been like that.. and grumpy.... I feel sorry for my family during this time also. Just to balance everything out, I have started taking 30-plus - Even though i MUST stress that I am only 29!!!! I never used to suffer this bad from PMS.... I am not sure if it is because I have lost weight, or perhaps it is a hormonal thing after having my tubes tied for the second time..... Some friends have suggested that perhaps I am running to lean, and need to put on some weight?? Not sure.. but that will be a last resort!!
My idea being if I don't suffer so much with PMT - I won't be on this continual cycle of getting to my lowest of 62 - then eating my way but up to 64. Have been eating a fair bit of crap recently... but that is stopping. It wouldn't be too bad if I had just one lollie... but I eat the bag. I have work too damm hard to lose this weight to just eat it all again.
Today has been a busy day! I worked for a few hours. The Minister for Local Government was in our area and they appointed me to follow her and take photographs of the events that she was in attendance at.. so a library opening in Warrackanbeal, meeting at a neighborhood house in Donald and a bridge opening also in Donald. It was SO windy... but got home in one piece! I was desperate to wear this new spunky dress that I brought at the end of last summer.. but alias it was too cold!!!
My sister is on her way home home Melbourne as I type this, so the weekend will be catching up with her and just general jobs... and LOTS of movements!!
I am in love with my exercise bike. I can ride up to 55km a day on it. It is great to be able to ride while the kids are in bed, or watching TV. It is so quite!
Thank you Bec for the 43 things web link.. very cool web site. Definitly got me thinking. Will update soon on a few dreams... have been thinking lots.
Ok... everyone have a safe weekend and will be back shortly with an update of how the weekend eating and exercise finished up!!!

Sounds like a great challenge! Good luck!
Have you tried Evening Primrose oil for your PMT? My mum HAD to have it or she was a total bitch!
thats a really good idea to do a 4 wk challenge, short enough to keep you motivated but long enough to see the results you want! have a great wknd Kirsty!
I am also doing a 4 week challenge - I got the idea off Ails blog, but I think she got it off someone else:)
I love your reward is a massage!!
I might do that too ... the 4 weeks ends on my birthday, so I am very motivated to do well:)
Good luck on the 4 week challenge and ALL those steps......LOL
Nice to see you sounding so positive and motivated, please know you are not the only one who has eaten a few kilos back on!!
I have heard EPO is a wonder-drug for PMS too :-)
Good luck!!
Glad to see you back hon, and to hear you sounding so positive and full of life!! Your challenge sounds fantastic - all the best with it all!
Hey - you may have got the idea of the 4-week challenge off me, but the original idea came from Miss Slimmer Palooza (Louise) even though I'd love to take the credit!
12 weeks is just too bloody long in my humble opinion!
Hope things go well - a massage is a fantastic reward!
