Shortly after my last (and first) post I had some bad news. My Dad had an accident and broke his hip so I flew back to England to help out. After that, I was away on my Open University Summer School in Jena, which involved plenty of boozy nights, and somewhere between then and now I lost my Mojo.
I did manage to loose a little more and peaked with a total loss of about 76 lbs, but last Saturday I stepped back on the scales for the first time in a long time and I was shocked at what I saw. I was back up to 20 stone 12.5 (292.5 lbs) so although I am still 38.5 lbs down I have put on half of what I lost overall and that has spurred me back into action. This week I have dusted off the MyFitnessPal account and managed to stick to my 1550 calories or less and have had a sneaky look at the scales and am excited to tell you what they are at my official weigh in tomorrow.
Yesterday @BLcastingteam tweeted that they started filming Season 15 this week, so for the first time I am starting my journey at the same time as the contestants.
I am going to set myself a manageable goal for mid-December, which is when I think the Finale will be and when the episodes air I can compare my losses to theirs. Obviously I don’t think I will lose anything as insane as those guys, unfortunately I don’t have anyone to push me to work out 6 hours a day and I don’t have the discipline to do it myself. I will be competing with no one but myself and I simply want to lose week on week, no gains. That will be at least 24 losses in a row.
Wish me luck, not that I need it, I have my Mojo after all! xx
