Why can't I stick to this?
Why don't I think this is important anymore? I used to think that if I was back down at 58kgs I would love my body, but at 63kgs I am happy with my body but want to make improvements, but for some reason am not putting in the effort to get there. I am worried that this lack of focus in my world full of comfort will only lead to putting on weight; and THEN wanting to loose it again, when it is so much easier not to put it on in the first place.
I WILL get my head around this!

I'M BACK!!!!

Hi all,
I'M BACK!!!!
Over the past month I have eaten WHATEVER I wanted and paid the price for it with my health and attitude! But it is all over now. I am going to plan my meals and prepare my snacks. I am back on Points but am adding a Core aspect (focusing on whole foods). I was going to try Core properly but I don't have a lot of control over my evening meals and would end up doubling up on carb groups.

For those of you who don't know, my boyfriend, Ross and I are moving in together in a couple of months and we are really excited about it! We have picked out new furniture and appliances, so it is getting there.

Work has been hectic, but thankfully it is slowing down again and I can keep my blog up-to-date.

I hope everyone is well! I have missed you all and have kept checking your blogs briefly!
Much love!
Marisa xx

Yay!!!!!

I am now down to 62.9!!!!!! That is a loss of 500g on a week that I certainly could have tried harder.

On my way to the perfect body... now to find the perfect job!

Thanks,

Day one: Game ON

Today it is easy: stick to my points... 19 points to be precise.

And I did it!!!!

B'fast: small fruit roll [3.5pts]
Coffee [.5]
Lunch: Chicken and Salad roll [4.5pts]
Snack: Banana [1] plus coffee [.5]
Dinner: Wrap with grilled chicken, salad and olives [6]
plus a small chocolate after dinner [2]

Day one down and I am stepping in the right direction again.
Yay me! *Happy Dance*

Game ON!

Over the last couple of weeks I have been pretty naughty... Chocolate for breakfast, not planning meals, not tracking or measuring...

BUT NOW IT IS DIFFERENT. NOW I AM BACK IN THE GAME!

As of 6am Thursday I will post on my blog what I planned to eat for the day and what I actually ate.
I am accountable.
I am responsible.
I am focussed.
I want to loose weight.
I want to be fit and healthy.

Please help keep me on track. Cheer me on like the Biggest Loser trainers. If I commit to it for the day, I will do it.

the festival of Marisa

Come one, come all to the Festival of Marisa.

This is a lifelong event that encompasses passion, action and commitment and celebrates the person that I want to be; the person inside of me.

I will start each day by setting a goal that I can achieve within the next 24 hours, a fantastic idea from one of the marvelous ladies on the ww forum.

Each day I will be thankful for everything that I have; Joyful abundance.

I encourage everyone to hold their own festival. Celebrate your goals, perseverance and life.

Aqua Aerobics?

In line with my recent commitment to exercise I found myself at the local pool at 5:45am this morning ready for my first Aqua Aerobics class in a very long time! Very glad that i did it! I am a little stiff and sore now and ate more today than I should have, but what a peaceful way to start the day!!!! There is nothing more peaceful than floating in water.


I have been pretty good this week and Ross (my boyfriend) is finally getting the hang of high and low point foods, so meals with him are getting much easier to allocate points for. Fingers crossed for a good weight loss this week!!!


I decided yesterday that I needed a present to me to tell me I love me and found myself in Mecca with the most divine product in hand... Philosophy's body wash 'Cinnamon Buns'... such indulgence but without the calories!!Thought it was about time that I also posted up a couple of pics of my support crew. So you have seen a pic of my sis; then there is Ross (sorry about the bad cropping... my bad) and my kitten (ok she is13, but I still think that she is a kitten):




There will be more pics posted over the coming month... if only everyone else would pose for pics like these two!!!

Anyways, I'm off to have dinner... my dad made me chicken stirfry... bless.
