We went back to the house last night to measure up for sofas. We took photos of the views, they are on my facebook, I've linked to the album Adam posted. It's bigger than I remember, I am so excited to move in. We plan to stay there for a long time so I want to decorate over time and I'm already thinking colour schemes! Now I need to pick what veg and fruit to grow in my patches
I have decided my method of losing weight when I move. I will aim for 1200-1500 calories a day. According to the interwebs my basic metabolic rate thingy is 1930 calories a day so to lose a pound that's 1430 calories a day, but I want to mix it up a bit to keep my metabolism chugging along. Adam and I have made a promise to start the C25K app and I'm going to buy some running leggings and baggy t-shirts as I think if I'm dressed properly it will help motivate me
We're also going to play tennis or squash at the gym once a week, probably on a Sunday. I won't be joining the gym just yet, if I can stick to running I'd prefer to do that, it's cheaper and I don't have to travel to it often. It's only 2 miles away, but until I have my own car it's a bit of a pain to get to. Just going to get a racquet membership for the time being, much cheaper. I'm also going to keep my eye open for some bike bargains on ebay. We want a lifestyle change, not just a diet. I'm going to have a proper breakfast in the morning, at the table. I'm going to lay it all out, cereals, juice, fruit, toast. Proper lunch, proper dinner, and try not to snack on crappy stuff. I might have a jar of "treats" and grab one every few days or something. I don't think Adam wants to count calories or anything he just wants to "stop eating crap" and "stop shoving food in my mouth". He can just eat and eat and eat, I'll make a portion for 4 and he'll finish it off so I will have to put it straight into freezing portions. My problem is just having binge attacks, but there is no popping to the shops where we're moving too, which is handy
No pizza places deliver and we can't really afford takeaways once we move until I'm working anyway, so that'll stop. I am really looking forward to the exercise, especially tennis. Mumma K says we can have the Wii that she keeps here as she doesn't use it, so I'll get Just Dance for that and maybe pilates (I think that exists?).
Off to Westfield tonight to buy Adam his bday pressies. Also gotta buy myself the next two books in the Magician's Guild trilogy. Best book I have read in long time, it was amazing!
