Well the Bouncing Bunnies Easter Challenge is now over. Final weigh-in at 60.1kg but I will live.. lol. I know that I did get under the 60kg in the last week, twice even, so I know that I am getting there.
I am now listening to the Gabriel Method on audio CD and finding it enlightening! Audio-books rock!
I am thinking of moving on to a 12 week challenge now and setting myself up with realistic goals for slowly losing this weight without it over taking my entire life!
That is right.. I have completed the Couch 2 5K program!
It feels awesome by the way! Although I don’t quite run 5k in the 30mins, I am getting closer to it!
My 5k race is on next weekend (not this one, the one after) which is also the weekend of my paper critique. I am feeling amazingly confident that I can get in and do both quite successfully.
Yes, my confidence is doing quite well, though socially I am still feeling behind the eight ball. I know that I am quite capable, intelligent, and am full of determination and spirit, but part of me is still afraid of how others perceive me – so much so that I think I come across as big noting myself. I guess that can be my next challenge – to stop boasting or even hinting and looking for compliments! It is a fine line though.. between having confidence and being an arrogant jerk! Fingers crossed I find that balance!
I am getting frustrated. I am not losing weight. I know it is my own fault for indulging in chocolate and being otherwise frivolous with my calorie intake!
Time to get the food right and stop being lazy!
I also need to start up my 10mins of exercise each morning as well!

As I was reading the intro chapter for the Gabriel Method, I remember he mentioned meditation as part of his methodology. So as I am application hunting for my iPhone I have come across a hypnosis app for weight loss which I tried out last night and I think I will use again tonight.
It seems to have had a positive effect already as I was quite calm today and didn’t feel the need to ‘be naughty’ with my food.
I will update later with how it is going!
