August Wrap - September Goals
Today I got weighed in the hope that I lost 1.5kg in a week - alas this was not to be so! I knew I wouldnt make it (stoopid mother nature) ... but I came relatively close. I lost 0.8kg. Which is pretty good for a weeks' loss. I dont want to lose it too quickly. It just woulda been nice to reach my August goal.
----------
August in review (keep in mind I started weightloss on 11/8)Beginning weight: 83.2kgs
Ending weight: 80.6kgs
Total weightloss: 2.6kgs
Goal Status: Goal not reached by 0.7kgs (I wanted to be under 80kg)
Starting BMI: 27.8
Ending BMI: 26.9
Commendable aspect of August weightloss: Got off my butt and started WW, Im into the habit of walking at least 5 times a week, more energy, skin is better, I concentrate better at work, not as lethargic, my BMI dropped by 0.9!
Areas to work on in September: Need to drink more water and eat more fruit, want my walks to go for longer, go to a steps class once a week.
So my current weight is 80.6 (I missed my August goal by 0.7kg). Not to worry though! I think I may have been aiming too high for my first few weeks.
In regards to the 600-minute pram push challenge I made that goal at least! From 11th Aug till the end of Aug I walked the pram 615 minutes. YaY! Not too bad I reckon.

Outlook for SeptemberOk down to dirty business - now its September, so I have to set my goals for this month. August was yesterday - September is the present :) There is nothing I can do about yesterday, just plan and action the present.
Now that I have done the 600min pram push challenge I need to progress to the 800min challenge. So for the month of September I will walk Bee in the pram for at least 800 minutes. I reckon I can do this! I encourage anyone else with kids to take up this challenge too :) If you do, let me know how you do.
I will be deleting my Aug logs from the right and starting to log my Sep walks.
My weighins are every Thurs so I have exactly 4 weeks to account for. This will make my last Sep weighin on 29th September. My goal for this month is to lose 3.6kgs (around 8 pound) ... this is very do-able! Not too quick, but enough to make a difference. This will make my BMI 25.7 - only JUST in the overweight range!
This will nearly get me back to my pre-baby weight. When I was 13 weeks preggers I weighed 76kgs - so I estimate I was about 74-ish when I fell.

Wish me luck in September! To all those also trying to lose weight, I wish you all the best over the next 30 days :)
