Blockers

Losing weight is going to be mixture of exercise and watching what I eat - eating the right things at the right time - and drinking lots of water. However I have to be aware of the things that will prevent me losing weight and the excuses I might use to stop going to the gym.

 Diet:

1. Chocolate - love it, don't eat it 
2. Breakfast - don't currently have it, need to 
3. Terence (my husband) - he needs to put ON weight, not lose it, so we need to have different things for dinner, same with the kids. 
4. Water - need to drink a minimum of 2litres a day!

Exercise:

1. Time - working full time and having 5 kids makes it hard. I have agreed with Terence I will go to the gym at 5:30pm each day, giving me time to feed the baby between work and going to the gym. By going to a schedule it will be easier to keep to it and find the time. Also gym at night is better for me as I find it hard to get up early enough to go before work.
2. Sore muscles - going to be an issue initially, and I'll have to push through it.
3. Motivation - by raising money for NICU, I hope my motivation will stay high throughout. Also my project manager and other colleagues at work are keen to help me achieve my goals. 

Starting tomorrow - here goes everything :)
