This is not a New Year's Resolution. I held off posting for a little while because it might have been seen as another "fat person posting a weight loss goal in the new year". So here I am, maintaining my sense of humour, and putting this out there.
I've been pondering the weight loss issue for 4 or 5 months now. My new(ish) job involves early starts and a decent amount of travel time. I tried walking, but it bores me, I always get home in the dark and don't feel safe walking around. The gym near my house didn't open early enough or stay open late enough, which left me trying to lose weight mostly through dietary changes (and we all know how much I love cheese). I lost a few of those extra "April in Goulburn" kilos, but I reached the point in December where I knew I needed to ramp it up.
Plans, goals and support system are up. An Anytime Fitness (24hr gym) opened near my house, and right next door to my work - so there is no excuse. I've got 26.5kg to go, having lost 3.5kg since starting a couple of weeks ago. The exercise is going very well, and the portion control is mostly too - so at an average of a kilo per week I will be at my goal in July. It's definitely time to kick my own backside.
For updates, you can follow a bunch of people on Twitter with the hashtag #fitterbytwitter (join in) or call my best friend who I am boring the crap out of with exercise text messages.

I use a personal trainer as she needed a whole bunch of photography and I needed to get fit. So it was a mutaully beneficial arrangement and I must say the exercise tho at times I loath breaking my day to get there really benefits my state of mind as I do tend to be an anxious person at times and after the sessions I feel really focussed and positive...is there someone that would need your services in exchange for fitness?
