Priorities change - sometimes it's ok to put yourself first.

Priorities are important when it comes to our health. You have to be able to put yourself and your health first to be able to acheive your health goals. I have put my goals on the back burner for a long time now... Mostly because I was too wrapped up in my own self pity to care. I didn't think I was worthy of love so I ate my feelings. I've always been accustomed to binge eating and I did it often. But I don't like what I see when I look in the mirror anymore. I need to make a change for myself, for my family, for my boyfriend, for any chance I have at a happy and long future.

I have been using my work as an excuse not to exercise and not to eat right because it was convenient to eat take away or go out for lunch and dinner. That is no longer an option. I have a new plan and I want to follow it through. I have tried and failed to lose weight and change my lifestyle many times - I have even burned bridges with some friends who have tried to help me acheive these goals. I will not let people down anymore.

The list:

- make time for exercise

- eat healthier

- substitute the bad food for the good food

- take the stairs instead of the lift

- drink more water

- limit chocolate (do not cut out entirely as pure insanity will result)

- put two hours aside on a Sunday for meal preparation

- tell the people I love how much I appreciate their love and support

- offer love and support to those who mean the world to me

- make time for fun

- make time for friends, family and boyfriend

- make mistakes (but only once when it comes to matters of health)

I am blessed to have parents who support and encourage me to make changes and better my lifestyle. I have friends who will kick my butt around the gym and keep me motivated all the time. I have an amazing man in my life who is on the same path and shares my goals and I am forever grateful that he came into my life and inspired me to want to be better. Now all I have to do is DO IT!!

It all begins:

Here is a recent photo taken of me at a wedding. I raise a glass (or protein shake) to never looking like this again.

Current weight: 126kg

Goal weight: 80kg

Time frame to acheive it: 12 months

Small term goals: 26kg lost in 6 months

LET'S DO THIS BITCHEZZZZ!!!

Euro Adventures Pt 16 - Wild Boar Panini's and a Relaxing Afternoon in Roma

Another day another dollar - oh wait...I don't have to go to work today. Haha. We have another drive day today to get to Rome - our last stop in Italy before getting into Greece and the Greek Islands. It was about 4-5 hours from Florence to Rome and we had an early lunch stop at a little town called Orvieto. It was a beautiful little town except for one fact - it was on the absolute top of a mountain - making it very had to take over in war and times of unrest. Noddy told us that the last person to conquer Orvieto was Julius Caesar - she also told us that they were famous for their porchetta panini's (wild boar rolls)... We had to try one. Being a town on a giant cliff face we had to catch a strangle little train/carriage thing from the bottom to the top. We then had a very steep walk up to the town centre - Orvieto also had a Duomo that looked like a liquorice all-sort on one side. We had some free time so some of the group went to do a tour of the underground tunnels of th...

Euro Adventures Pt 1 - Catch ya Aus

The adventure has officially begun. A cruisey 3 hour drive up to Sydney and we are on our way - well almost. It's waiting time, 4 hours in an airport (any airport) is never going to be a barrel of laughs. But we are surviving... With a little help from our friend T-minus one hour until boarding. Can't wait to begin this incredible adventure with one of my best friends. Oh the places we will go, the people we will meet, the food we will eat, the awesome stuff we will do!!!! We are beyond excited. I am just going to use this blog as a reminder of all the amazing things we do, see, and experience. I do not want to miss a minute of it! Our itinerary: London Paris Swiss Alps Avignon Barcelona French Riviera Venice Florence Rome Athens Sailing for 3 days! Mykonos Athens London for a week ❤️

Euro Adventures Pt 19 - Sailing The Days Away, Greek Islands Style

Waking up on a ferry is a very surreal feeling... It was a very hot and very small cabin we were in and the boat was very softly humming. Weird! But at least we were closer to arriving in Greece - how exciting!! Our Topdeck tour is coming to its end and its very bittersweet, good, because I'm looking forward to getting home and sad, because I've been lucky to meet some amazing people. At least we had the three days of sailing together and partying in Mykonos to look forward to. We tried to have a little bit of brekkie on the ship before we disembarked but I wasn't feeling the best so I passed. Noddy gathered us all together and collected our keys and we made our way to the exit of the boat... Man! Greek people are pushy!! So pushy! We were all waiting for the same exit and everyone pushed past us. Hopeless. But we finally got out and looked over the beautiful coastlines of Greece. Wow. Just stunning. The ocean alone made the 15 hour ferry ride worth it. We had a short 20 mi...
