Happy New Year!!! Let's hope 2006 is a good one for all.....
Sunday 1 January 2006
Managed to see the New Year in, watching the Sydney fireworks on TV. I ate exactly what I said though the quantities were huge:
About 8oz roast beef
3 cups potato bake
1 cup mushrooms
3 vodka soda w/ lime
And yes, I felt rather sick and bloated afterwards.
Woke up at 9.30am, not so bloated, thanks to the sesapure and lots of water before bed.
Planned day off from gym and slept for most of it. I am so tired.
10.00am
1 cup bran cereal
1/2 cup milk
1 cup whites, 1 whole egg
Supps
Slept
2.00pm
2 slices Performax bread
3oz Edam cheese
Slept
Walked on beach for an hour to wake up a bit.
7.30pm
3oz pork tenderloin
1/2 avocado
1/2 cup refried beans
1/2 tbsp taco sauce
3 liters water
So not the best day for cals and macros but I am pleased that the junk food did not come out.

Oh yes, madness runs in my family.
These photos are a shocker - broad daylight in a bikini, no tan whatsoever, taken on December 30. Yes, this is me right now. I am SO embarrassed but there's nothing like public humiliation to motivate you.
I know I posted some up three months ago and though they were just as bad, I feel a lot worse now because I haven't made much progress since then.
Anyway, the planets are aligning and I'm feeling good about it this time.
If the AF store do another contest, these are my beginning photos. Either way, it's my starting point.

NOW STOP IT!!! New Year, New Attitude! I truly believe we create our own reality, and it starts with the mind.
I've discovered that change seems to come EASIER when you love yourself as you are NOW, and are seeing your journey as improving what you currently have, making it BETTER, not totally hating what you have and wanting what you're looking at to go away ... does that make sense?
It's like my house. How can I have a positive attitude about renovating a house I just hate??? I have to look around me and go "this place will look pretty good with a new coat of paint," versus, "This dump needs paint."
Like I told ya sugar, you got more guts than me
You have NOTHING to be embarassed about (trust me on this!) Everyone starts somewhere.

We're all rooting for you Mermaid! We know you can do it. You've already conquered New Year's Eve. Just one step at a time!
Like MM said, we all start somewhere. It took me 4 years to drop from 190 to 133, if that helps put things in perspective. It doesn't happen overnight, and I honestly believe that 95% of it is mental. A friend of mine told me to purge all the negative around me (internally and externally). While it is sometimes impossible to eradicate everything, the more positive you surround yourself with the more you can accomplish.

Thanks so much for the encouragement 
I am exhausted! I must be working out with the right intensity to feel like this, I just want to sleep all the time, my body aches! I'm sure I'll get used to it. Already I feel different, like I'm "tightening" up on the inside, if you see what I mean and that feeling just gives me more motivation to keep going.
Bloody hard work though, isn't it. No pain, no gain and all those cliches.
