In the couple of weeks since the end of the kick start diet I have been maintaining my new lower weight.
This is great since I fully expected to regain a kilo or two with the reintroduction of sugar/fat/processed foods to my diet. Though my intake of all these things is considerably reduced from what it was pre-kick start, I'd be lying if I said I had given them all up entirely.
No matter what my weight, maintainance is what I aim for at this time of year. Things usually start slipping with the birthday-a-thon beginning of December and continue to slide through Xmas and New Year, often not stopping again until holidays end when school goes back. This year has been no different.
So when I weighed myself this morning I didn't have particularly high expectations. But then-there it was: I'd broken through the 82kg glass ceiling.
I've reached this point several times over the past decade and a half. In the past it has always been the lowest I go before the boomarang turns and the kilos start to pile back on.
I am determined this time will be different.
I am determined to enter the new year under 80 kilos. I know attempting to actually lose weight is a huge undertaking at this time of year. Possibly more of a challenge than at any other time, with the possible exception of Easter.
But I'm going to give it a go.
Wish me luck.
