Cleanse, tone, moisturise and exercise

Ok so its officially day 2 of my blogging/weightloss thing. I woke up at 6:45am and went for a 1.5hr walk, go me!!! =D I am going to make the best effort I can to make exercise a part of my daily routine. I have also started using actual face cleansing products, I find that every time I used them I would feel like the most prettiest girl in the world and I felt fantastic about myself. Really I am a girly-girl at heart, but I don't really show it much. When I used to go out, I felt that people would think I would look aweful in my make up and nice clothes because of my size. I used to just 'play it safe' and probably still do at times but now I really try to not care what other people think. Yes I am overweight, but not everyone has absolutely perfect health. I often think that people are able to see my problem but that doesn't mean they should judge because they are not perfect either, and if they knew me then they would know that I care and I am trying my best to change how I am...

Right now I am feeling a little sore after my gym sesh yesterday, but pain means ITS WORKING!!! =D  I also actually enjoyed my 1.5hr walk this morning. I am lucky to have  a river nearby so I had a nice riverside view. I also decided that I am going to put my Japanese language disks onto my mp3 player so I can practice (in my head lol) while I am walking. I used to go to a night class 2 nights a week to learn Japanese and I loved it. But last year I decided to start a nursing degree at uni, which took up the time I used to learn Japanese. I am a bit rusty at the moment but if you were to send me to Tokyo right now I am sure I could survive =) My nursing degree has been such a fantastic life change. I was working 5 days a week in an office which was just depressing. One day I woke up and decided that I was going to quit. So I did. It was the most refreshing thing I have ever done lol. The same day I applied to go to uni (as well as applying for several jobs because I did't have anything to go too). Within 2 weeks I had a job and an offer for uni... It was meant to be =D

I know it is only officially day 2, but I feel so fantastic at the moment =D Tomorrow is a gym day, if I stick to my plan (Which I really hope to do!!!) it will be the first time since December 2011 that I have gone to the gym at least 2 days in the same week!!! I have just been too lazy over the last... well too many months lol =P I have decided that Sunday morning will be my official 'weigh day' and I will post my weightloss efforts for the week. I also decided (while walking past the pool this morning) that when it is warm enough on my non-gym days instead of walking an extra hour, I will go to the pool instead. I have heard alot of negativity about using swimming as an exercise in weightloss, but I tried it a few times last year and really liked it. I didn't really notice any negative results.
I have also decided that my 'weightloss rewards system' is going to go like this (Note: it will prob change at least another 10 times before I reach my 'ultimate goal' lol)

5kg loss - Eyebrow wax (this will really encourage me to get there because right now they are just scary lol)

10kg loss - Pandora bead

15kg loss - A new item of clothing

20kg loss - High tea with the girls

25kg loss - Dinner at a Japanese resturant with my fiance

30kg loss - Pandora bead

35kg loss - High tea with the girls

40kg loss - Start trying on wedding dresses

45kg loss - Well I haven't decided but it will be something amazing =D I'd like to say a cruise around the world but we will let the finances decide on that one lol =P
