The 3 day diet... because Turkey is in 13 days

Ok so i'm 13 days away from Turkey... sooo i haven't really dieted that well and i've decided on monday i'm going to start the 3 day diet. Then for 4 days i'll be good. Breakfast lunch and dinner and then hopefully i'll do it again on the monday after, and be all ready for my holiday... hopefully i'll lose at least half a stone before i go and then it'll kick start me to diet properly, healthily! I understand however that if it does have effective results, there is a small compulsion to do it more, and i have to remember it's not a healthy diet to do all the time and therefore i shud stick to a healthy "5-a-day-more-water-less-fat-diet" and an "eat-more-good-food-not-eat-less-food-altogether" diet. :)

And i'm hoping that this sticks with me all the time. This mind set i mean... it probably won't and i understand that's human but yes.... I have a drive at this moment in time. But it's 25 minutes past 11 on a Saturday... so it'll probably have fizzled a little by the morning.

My aim is to be at least 2 stone lighter by October and 3 stone for christmas. So that means my Targets are:-

Thursday 1st October = 13st 1lb
Tuesday 1st December = 12 1lb

I need to be focused and dedicated to do this though.

From Monday when i begin the 3 day diet i'll try to blog every day.

I'm so fed up... hate diets!!!

To be honest it's quite ridiculous that i hate them so much... and no amount of "think positive" and "don't think of it as a diet think of it as a health choice" won't change how much i despise it.... I weighed myself n i've put on a lb... and ye ok "it's been a few days" but i'm still annoyed!

Anyways... now I've had chocolate and ruined my day entirely... so i'm gonna try to be good for the rest of it :)

Testing My Email Blogging

I'm such a novice really when it comes to computers and I got quite excited about the prospect of emailing my blogs lols... don't know why. So this is my test blog. Woop.

The beginning of a new endeavour

On Sunday I had my Il Dan Yellow Stripe grading, or Black belt yellow tag, if i pass i'll get my gold stripe and then i'll train for another 2-3 months for my next grading. This will continue until my EE Dan grading (which is 2nd level black belt). I won't be anywhere near that for 2 - 3 years but it's extremely daunting.

At one point I sat at the back waiting for part of my grading and I watched the EE Dan candidate doing his grading. He was so relaxed and performed the techniques so well and as I watched I thought "there is no way I could do that with my body and health".

So I'm going to do something about it. I'm 21, I weigh 15st 1lb and I've been unhappy with my weight and shape for a while. I have asthma and 2 recurring dislocated knees. By losing some weight and toning up I'll get fitter, it'll improve my asthma and it'll be easier on my knees, because they'll be carrying less weight.

And I'm starting today... initially with food and looking at the exercises I can do, as well as my Choi training to improve my fitness. I have a Choi class tonight so hopefully by eating better it'll affect my energy.

Chat soon... hopefully with good news :)
