Problems of a major procrastinator...

So as I participate in a blog about getting fit and healthy, I gobble down the last of a cupcake - part of a batch I baked this morning for my knitting play date.

Just letting you know, I'm letting redambition have a head start, as I'm not fully concentrating on getting fit until I finish my uni assignments. Woot! They should be done by the end of this week.

The reason why I need to lose weight, though, is not because to stay healthy. No, that's just a by-product. It's because my parents want me looking good like I was when I was 5-6 years younger. And to help me, they said that they'll pay for all of my New York/San Fran trip if I lose sufficient amount of weight, but if not, I have to pay everything back when I get back home. So until October, I have another 13kgs to lose (my initial aim was 15kg).

But since the beginning of the year, I have vowed not to have:

a) Maccas
b) Fizzy drinks

And to eat a piece of fruit each day. Well - I have kinda substituted Maccas for either Hungry Jacks or Ogalos, and I have had a random fizzy drink here and there, but generally I have been good. I also try not to eat hot chips that often with "meal deals" and just get the burger.

But yah - I have made several attempts to start exercising regularly, but I haven't been able to keep it more than a week. And with winter approaching, it definitely doesn't help. I think a Gym membership awaits me, and I've found Camperdown Fitness to be the best one for me so far, as it's clean and neat and there are no contracts - just a one off $50 joining fee and something like $35 a fortnight, which works out to be something like $900 a year, but I thought if I know I'm busy one week, I can cancel it one week and then start again the following week if I want to, and would probably save more money than spending a whole $700 on a year membership and only going for like 2-3 weeks out of the available 52 (that's what I did last time... yikes).

Since the beginning of the year I have lost 2kg though. Just through less take away and trying to be a little more active, but I still indulge in the chocolate and the cheese, and the fine dining from time to time. And over-eating and snacking when stressed.

So the aim for this week? Finish my bloody uni assignments and stop procrastinating.

Then join a gym so that I can wake up early and watch TV whilst I'm at the tredmill and not running in the cold.

And stop having take-away. I've had one burger so far this week - better do some grocery shopping and make my wraps and sandwiches!

Until Saturday evening, try and be good, unlike me!
