Just 3 weeks until my holiday starts...!!! Oh boy!

I think I jinxed myself last time I did this, so I am doing it differently this week to make sure it doesnt happen again!!!

I have 3 weeks (well 3 weeks yesterday) before I leave for my holiday and thats also 3 weigh ins. It got me thinking of how I can best make use of this time and maximise my ability for results before I leave. I'm not really thinking too much about while I am away as there are too many factors (eg I am unsure of what I will be eating in Egypt, if I'll like it and the really big factor, the likelyhood of getting a tummy bug!) but before I go I would really like to make the most of my weightloss potential!

I decided than rather come up with a 3 week action plan which didnt really work last time, I am going to take each week at a time, but I am going to be more detailed about each week.

So my first week started yesterday and goes like this:
* NO more than 21 points (core) for the week.
* Exercise daily - min 21 points for the week.
* NO alcohol for the week.
* NO lollies, chocolates or cakes for the week.
* Min 4 CORE only days for the week.
* NO overdoing the foot injury, find other suitable exercise.
* Watch portion sizes.

Now my big scale plan for these three weeks is to get under 70kgs by the time I leave on the 19th December. I currently weigh 72.7kgs, so I have 2.8kgs to make me 69.9kgs or less. I know it seems a lot, and I know it looks like I am depriving myself, but I am not. What I want is to look and feel my best for my holiday - that means so much more to me than a few lollies or glasses of wine in the next 3 weeks. I am doing an active tour of Egypt and I am not going to be the person that slows our tour group down - I am going to be fit and healthy so I can enjoy everyone of the experiences I face in Egypt & United Arab Emirates. I am going to have awesome photos which I wont be embarassed or ashamed to share around.

This is truley important to me and thats why I want to give it my all now!!

Hi,
I've just stumbled across your blog, and just have to comment on how well you've been going..
almost 14kgs in 15 weeks, that's fantastic!

You're going to have a fantastic time in Egypt though, the food is delicious over there, and the whole tummy bug, it's a change of climate, food, and even in your mind, but generally goes away after a few days anyway.
And you'll be too busy out and about sightseeing most days to even think of food, so you'll be fine!
goodluck!
