Life (or something like it)

Todd the Fanboy has handed in his resignation (and no, it isn't because of me being frosty towards him *g*). While I'll miss chatting with him a bit, it removes a bit of hassle from this job.

When I get back from skiing (yay, next week!), I'm gonna seriously try and lose some weight. I'll try following Weight Watchers (anything else would be a little hypocritical *g*). I wanna keep up my swimming, as well as doing other exercise . I'm looking at losing about 9kg (20lbs), and (at least one) dress size. I'm putting this out here so that I have to stick to it. I'm trying to pick something to be a goal. Summer is a little vague, but I'm going to the Christina Aguilera concert on December 8th. 9 kilos in 16 weeks isn't a completely unrealistic goal. I'll aim to either buy something new to wear to that, or wear something of my sister's (depending on my finances then *g*). Being able to borrow my sister's clothes again would definitely be a good thing :)

Starting date: 18th August
Starting weight: 70.9 kg (heh, this might change after skiing - for the worse, the food's really good).
Goal weight: 62kg
Goal date: December 8th (16 weeks)

*nods*
Very reasonable goal, IMO.
Good luck with it. *hugs and support*

Thanks! But announcing it is the easy part. Cutting (way back) on all my favourite snack foods will be the hard part *g*.

Heh. Yeah.
I know what you mean. :)

Hee! I'm going skiing next week too. If a cranky thirtysomething year old beginner runs you over, it could be me ;)

Where are you skiing? I'm a twentysomething who has enough experience to theoretically ski a lot better than I actually do *g*.

I think we're going to Perisher (the boything is organising it) - I haven't ever been skiing before, so I don't know whether that's good or not.

That's where I'm going :) It's a good place to ski whatever your standard, because there's so many lifts and runs in Perisher Blue.

Well, I hope I don't run over you then, I'm quite uncoordinated so I'd be likely to just fall on my arse, but you never know. So if I do end up committing bodily harm to you, I apologise in advance ;)

Eh, that's expected down the snow :) Don't forget your sunblock, moisturiser, lipbalm and nurofen (or other painkiller of choice) - my standard skiing advice ;)
