Well, look who's back!
It's been so long and so much has happened.
My last post was sometime early 2016 and it's now the end of 2017.
I am off to Uk for Christmas to see my boys and daughter in law and also the rest of my family. 
The last year has been a steep but amazing learning curve and I have finally found my home so to speak.
I have been working for an online fitness/health company and my attitude to food has changed so much over this year.
I resisted at first, of course. as I am resistant to change. The quote 'if you keep doing the same thing you are going to get the same results. Do something different if you want different results. That's not the exact quote but is the gist of it. My patterns are still running. You remember the ones that go: diet eat smoke exercise don't exercise. What has changed is 'clean' food I have discovered something new and good for me and it's not about losing weight it's about being healthy. Yes, it's not a diet it's a lifestyle. I can feel that I am so much 'cleaner' I can feel the change in me. I did not have any sugar or processed food for over a month and when I did boy the power surges came up and bit my ass. Proof! Yous Proof that this stuff is for real. If we ingest crap we are going to feel crap. Excuse my language. I am not there yet but I am closer than I have ever been and I also know that this is sustainable. It's simple and it's awesome. Roll on 2018 the year of the Kat!
Peace out.
Have a Very Merry Christmas.
Oh and yes this happened...

On-wards being paid to lose weight

So following on from my last blog about what could possibly motivate us and keep us motivated In whatever we do but at the moment I'm tackling weight loss. I had decided that even being given £1000 a pound lost (still would be nice though :-) I would sabotage myself by putting on weight so I could make more money.  Funny that just makes me greedy in every sense. Greedy about money and greedy about food. Nice thought!
Anyway I had a conversation with my husband (conversations with him rarely go the way I intend but hey that's what keep life interesting) I said to him I think you should sponsor me  €10 a kilo I lose to keep me motivated. Bare in mind my husband is a little strange about money and didn't like the idea of me saving the money I didn't spend on smoking.   Anyway I expected him to shoot me down and much to my delight his answer was I will give you €15 for every kilo you lose. Now I know there are several ways to take that as in: Gosh he must really want me to lose weight or what I chose to think he is really supporting me. 

       

So I started the Dukan Diet on Monday and yesterday finished my 5 days attack phase. Official weight in on Monday (today is Saturday) and I have lost 3 kilos 

They are the 3 kilos I put on this stop smoking quest, 3 weeks ago but it's still an AWESOME boost. 

Will do another blog re Stopctober no smoking but for now it's all about the bass or the weight loss. 
Well pleased with myself and this time gonna feed my motivation not starve it. 
So how am I gonna feed my motivation?
One - I'm gonna get paid YEAH - 
To stop me slipping my husband it coming up with potential penalties for weight gain. I really hope I never put on weight :-D 

Two  - I am holding myself accountable this time. This is the feeding of my motivation. Keep it in the forefront of my mind why I'm dong this?

 For my heath, to look better and most of all to feel better. 

One thing that really struck me this time is, I did an online calculation of how long it would take me to reach my ideal weight and it said 5 months. At first I was so disappointed and ready to give up before I started as it seemed so long away and I can literally put on 5 kilos in a weekend. Forget that so called experts say this is impossible I have done it and done it many times. So in reverse I want to lose 5 kilos in a weekend now that is impossible well it is for me and it is at my current age pretty sure I could do it when I was younger but that may well be the reason I'm where I am today. OK so I thought, those 5 months are going to pass anyway and on March 1st 2016 is gonna come no matter what.  I can choose to still be 20 kilos overweight or I can chose to be my ideal weight. It is really that simple, it is just a choice. Am I gonna be moaning come March or am I gonna be celebrating? My choice. So that's whats in my head. The time is passing anyway I can do this, I am doing this and come March I will have done this.

Over and out for now. Big Hugs. 

New Name?

So just got back from coffee with a couple of friends, a very pleasant way to spend the morning. I don't drink coffee so had my all time favorite a Fredaccino or a cookie equivalent of a Fredaccino. Basically a calorific heaven drink.

So I was thinking I should probably re-name this blog as I failed 365 days ago to make slob to slim in 60 days or should I just reset my 60 days.

Talk about having a habit - I literally started reading this exactly a year after trying/failing for the first time.

Decision made. The name stays and I give myself another 60 days, starting Friday 1st May 2015.

Today I did a 5k run/shuffle - it started to rain half way round but I don't really mind that as long as it's not raining when I leave the house, or I won't leave the house!

I came home and did 40 squats with a 12 kilo kettle bell, a 30 second plank. 10 minutes on the power plate with two 5 kilo dumb bells doing bicep curls. and 10 minutes yoga and 10 minutes meditation with Reiki grounding and protection. 

RESULT - Yeah me. 

I then ate 3 punnets (across the morning) of strawberries yeah me,with half a kilo of icing sugar not so yeah me. 

Even after all that I am still going for a 8k walk this evening. 

Over and out peeps - I'm back. 

Day What???

OMG Literally OMG
I started this blog exactly a year ago. I can't believe I forgot about it and only now found it. I can't believe I actually posted for 9 days that must be some sort of record for me.
I'm not gonna blog now as off out for coffee, but will definitely get this blog up and going again later today.
