like ripping off a bandaid

It hurts me to have to do this because it is what snaps me out of denial & into the realisation that I have a lot of work to do... It's so easy to hide under clothes but photos don't lie. I'm just going to get it over with and make a promise to myself that I'll never have to look at myself at this point again. Onward and upward! *Photos and measurements taken the morning of 3/2/2012.

Well the worst of it is over now. I'm still on track with my eating & not tempted to stray. Got to the gym today and did my chest workout as well as 20 mins cardio - was meant to do a couple of classes but not quite ready to do that much yet (and it's that time of the month which means I'm extra tired & dealing with cramps). Planning on doing 1-2hrs per day this week and will up it to 2-3hrs next week - no need to kill myself in the first week! Looking forward to mid January when I cut back at work and can do 5 massive gym sessions a week (& start booking auditions!).


Made some homemade protein bars this arvo. Wasn't expecting to like them but they were surprisingly tasty and a really nutritious snack. Very cheap & simple to make but a great alternative to sugary/high fat muesli bars. Will continue to experiment with recipes and post my favourites soon!
