Hmm…such a outer-spacey title huh? But nothing galatic for me. My quest is more shallow…more me-centred For the past 6 weeks, I have embarked on a weight loss plan. Never been really skinny and though I would like to be (slim not skinny), my initial aim is to lose all my pregnancy weight. Put on quite a bit during the entire pregnancy and never did lose it though people say breastfeeding is supposed to help. Guess as much as I breastfed, I ate too Anyway…back to my quest….I am now cutting back on carbo. So that means no rice, no noodles and no bread. I initially thought it was going to be difficult but surprisely it has been easier than I expected. I dun really miss rice or noodles though I do miss bread sometimes. And of course I miss chocolates. But well…for the sake of vanity and health …I will persist. I reckon at a lot of times, it is willpower that helps as well. So for the easily tempted and self-indulgent me, that is quite a challenge. But I must say I have been quite good, been quite disciplined except for the occasional break. Statistics have been quite encouraging…I have lost 6 kgs in 6 weeks. Now i am just willing myself to lose more so that I will look nice for Christmas. I know…shallow me…but that is now my motivation. Afterall, who wants to look like an aunty and be a fat wife and mother? I also want I to feel proud of his wife. I reckon that exercise would help to that either means I have to wake up really early to exercise and be back home before 7 when the little fella wakes up or exercise after work which means sacrificing family time. Neither which I am really willing to do so for now we are just making do with evening walks after dinner.

Hmm…wish me luck…slightly less than a month to Christmas…how much more will I lose?
