A bitter sweet goodbye... and hello

So a little time in between posts, have be steadily focusing on the 12WBT that starts on Sunday.

I have been focusing on working the habits into my lifestyle now so that when it all starts it is no large challenge and easy to see the goal!

It was funny today having a conversation with a work mate and really seeing that I was beginning to understand that what goes in I have to work off and it really isnt a matter of being deprived because if I put it in then I need to be willing to work it off. It is funny how easy it is to say no when I have that mind set!

Official starting weight is 115.8 kilos - it has been nice seeing the scales going down every day and knowing that is really hasn't been that hard - just planning what I am going to eat and OMG Facebook Fitness and my friends have been a godsent!

But as I sit here I realise that it is a bit scary : not because I don't think I can do it, but because I am realising that I can... does that make sense?

I have never known myself to think that I can lose weight - I have always been full of excuses
"I can't", "I don't like exercises" "I have always been fat" "why should I" ... blah blah blah.

I don't know how the new Mac is going to look, I have never looked like I am going to.
I don't know how the new Mac is going to feel - I have never been active in watching my food and exercise.

What I do know is that I am excited to meet her!

So goodbye to sadness, to existing, to fast food and Mac's and no responsibility. Goodbye to watching my life pass me by.... and Hello to health, happiness, activity, fun and feeling great! Hello to size 12 jeans!!!!
