My long term goal is to loose another 14kg. At first I was hoping to loose a kilogram of weight a week. It's not happening.... I realize some people might be able to loose a kilogram a week but for me it was too much. I had to make peace that I could only loose a few 100g a week. I worked better for me to focus on my long term goal instead.
I have set a goal a few weeks ago to weigh 75kg by the time my in laws come to visit us for the month of August. I have a few weeks left to reach my goal. Honestly I think is is a realistic goal for where I am. I have been slowly chopping at this the last few months.
Another long term goal I have is to weigh 70kg by middle October when our family will be attending a conference at the sea.
I want to encourage you to set realistic short term goals but also shoot for the long term goals. Weight loss has never been easy for me. I love to cook, bake and eat! It just doesn't happen easy.... it is a pure discipline to say no to eat something I really want.
I have some friends that can loose even up to 2kg a week with very little effort. It is very discouraging to try to keep up with them. I didn't pick up 20kg over night, it took years to gain. I need to be realistic in loosing it.
My menu today has been really simple. As a family we enjoyed a Turkish Kavalti (breakfast) it was omelette with turkey ham and a bit of salami. Feta cheese, olives, tomato, cucumber and coffee with a dot of cream off course :) We went to church late morning and came back late afternoon I cooked a chicken fillet in the microwave with a Greek salad and mayonnaise. My treat was a T of vanilla ice cream. Probably the rest of the evening I will be drinking more water.
