I'm so grateful that the Born to be Wild Challenge starts tomorrow because it'll be a good kickstart to the 6 week commitment to finish the race and I'm determined that I'm going to reach my goal in that time! 10kg's (22lbs) in 6 weeks - that's just over 1.5kg's (3.3lbs) to loose each week and that isn't hard to do at all! I've never done a challenge on FS before because I thought they'd be too competitive but now I realise that they are just fun motivational challenges for everyone involved!
The smoking challenge I've set myself seems to be going really well. I've dropped drastically the amount of cigarettes I have a day and can go hours without the need to have one out of boredom or frustration and it's not as if I'm craving for one - it's just my body just doesn't feel the need to have one! The Zyban are working wonders I think and the side-effects are decreasing each day! From Sunday (start of week 2) I start taking 2 tablets a day for the rest of the course - I am still able to smoke during that week! From the following Sunday (start of week 3) I continue with the tablets only and shouldn't be smoking at all by then!
Home life has settled down nicely since the move and I cannot wait to get paid today! It's been tough going since the last time I got paid (17 December) and also supporting my father since his arrival has taken it's toll on my bank account! I'm please to say though, he now has a job and starts on Monday and has said he will be contributing toward the food and utility bills when he gets his weekly pay packet!
So that's what's been going through my brain since my last journal entry and although it may be boring for you to read, just getting it out on this journal also allows me to reflect on what I wrote to take steps to put it right!
