Scale Dillemma and Goals

Feeling a bit disappointed today.  I have been working pretty hard for almost a month, doing well to stay on track, but the scale won’t budge.  Not even my body fat % has changed 

Mr. J says to just focus on my fitness, which of course I am happy to do – weight is not the only reason for this ‘lifestyle change’     But not only do I have fitness/health-related goals, I also have a weight goal.  My goals are not set in stone, but more of a guide (for now):

- Run 5km, then 10km
- Complete 30 Day Shred Level 3, competently
- Gym classes.  I want to be a regular & master them (that is until my gym membership runs out)
- Weekly yoga

- Cut back on carbs, increase protein
- Eat more vegetables
- Drink 3L of water every day

- Lose 10-15kgs

I know there are areas in my diet that I could do better, but I want to be a normal person, not a crazy restrictive “oh I don’t eat carbs after 2pm” type of person.  I want to take small steps, that I know are sustainable.  So initially I want to focus on carb portion sizes, and eating dinner before 8pm.

In terms of my weight ‘goal’, I want to be healthier, but I also have the wedding dress to think about, and a honeymoon during which I *will* wear a bikini.  Having never ever bought one, this is a scary goal for me.

Onto my second cup of tea for today, and in light of this post, I am going to switch around my monthly exercise goals…
