What on earth is Operation Skinny Cow?

Operation Skinny Cow was born after a few of us in Blogland decided it might be nice to lose some weight and/or get a bit fitter. We decided it would be even nicer if we encouraged each other along the way.

You can read about how it started in this post.

Weigh-in Wednesday (Long dark hair, blue eyes)

This week I have lost 200 grams.

Yay!

OK - maybe that isn't the whole story.....

Last week I refused to weigh-in because I had had a bad week. Or should a say a really good weekend of socialising and overeating with zero exercise? Plus last week I had put on just a little bit of the weight that I have previously lost - NOT HAPPY JAN! So this week I have been better at eating less and much better at exercising and have lost what I put on and an extra 200 grams

Yay!

What I want to do this week

This week I am going to improve my will power. The reality is that there are always going to be summer rolls in the kitchen at work for the bargain price of $1 which support the children's charity. There are always going to be biscuits with coffee at my friends places. There will always be temptation but this week I am going to try to eat less of the things I know I don't need. I will let you know how it goes.

This week I am going to exercise on the weekend. I am generally good at walking after work but sit on my bottom all weekend. This weekend I am going to go for a walk on both Saturday and Sunday.

Those are sensible goals. We don't have to aim to lose weight every week - this is about lifestyle change so aiming to work on bad habits is a great goal. I'm aiming that way myself this week. (I'm the one who ORDERS the biscuits for my workplace - aarrgghh!!) Congrats on the 200g PLUS the other weight. Well done!

Well Done. Personally I think you should include the loss of the recent gain - otherwise we need to come up with a statute of limitations on re-losing. i.e. does losing the weight I've put on since March count?

OK, so that's all about me. I should be congratulating YOU.
