Say It Out Loud

Oh no, hitting the first downer….

I ate lots of naughty things this week and scales don’t look good… haven’t been to the gym for three days either… Alright, alright I confess, I’ve actually put on 1kg but please, please, please don’t tell Mentor M… I’ll lose it before next weigh in I promise (actually I will skip the next weigh in and she'll never know)... next weigh in I'll pretend I’ve maintained (the thing is, I have actually lost 2kg since I started blogging so now I've only lost 1kg.. The shame...)

But you see living I'm living in Singapore... someone suggested finding a pizza place, I haven't had pizza in 6 months!!... then a kids party... cupcakes... National day... wine and nibbles... oh dear...

It’s okay… I’ve not officially started… I still have 16 days to get my mind set unscrambled (official start day is the 27th of August)... remember this is pre-season... man I really have to stop this self (blog) justification!

Okay it’s time to take it up a notch…Mentor M says it’s pledge time this week…

I think I have worked out why MM is making us do this pledge. I ‘ve already noticed that having told people about this does make a difference.

I was at a friend’s and I went to eat crisps… ‘How’s the diet going?’ she asks, as they make it half way to my month…

‘Ummm, I haven’t officially started yet,’ I reply,  as I stuff the crisps in my face, ‘But I don’t buy chocolate any more.’ I justify as I wipe the crumbs away.

But I did feel guilty…. So do you think that is why MM makes us say it out loud?

So 'The Pledge'  here goes:

'I pledge allegiance to the flag of…' sorry couldn’t resist….you were all thinking it weren't you? (or just me who watches way too much American TV?)... alright, I'll try again.. (I'm stalling, this 'Pledge thing' feels really corny). Alright MM says do it:

"I, ‘Not-Superwoman’, make a commitment to the universe & all my blog readers to get to 59kg and be fitter and toned. No matter how long it takes.

I will work as hard as I need to, to achieve this goal and I am committed to do the work I need to do to get me there."

Okay it is out there.... floating in the universe... I said it out loud... we shake on it!

I will reach this pledge by committing to exercising and watching my food intake (that doesn’t mean watch it as it gets stuffed in my face.

I am committed to stop procrastinating and start making changes! 

No longer will I think, " I’ll start tomorrow.." Well as of the 27th of August I will no longer think "I’ll start tomorrow.." 

I WILL START ON THE 27th of AUGUST and not look back!!!

I will give you 100%... you know…I really hate it when people say 110%.. there is no such thing is there? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of having the number 100%... if you’re allowed to add then 110% isn’t that much.. it would have to be 100& billion%?? It's really confusing... so I’ll say 100% and you know what I mean.

I WILL give 100% because 100% means everything...

All right… time to stop feeling guilty for being naughty and try & try again..

up, up and away...
