Starting Weight: 89KG GOAL: 70KG TOTAL TO LOSE: 19KG

Weight Today: 88KG TOTAL LOSS: 1KG TOTAL LEFT TO LOSE: 18KG

Well my husband is on a great weight loss journey. He has always been overweight but in the last 5 years he has overeaten a lot and he needs to lose 19 kgs. He currently weighs 89kg he would like to get to 70kg. Last week we started the journey and he is happy with the results.

Basically I started out with Fit Day program where I entered the foods he was eating and his weight, activities, etc for about 2 days. After two days I had a lot of an idea of what foods where going to put weight on him and which weren’t but I referred back to the fit day calories counter if I was unsure. I also had him taking a Fat Busting Pill which is a totally natural diet pill what it does is suppress hunger. You can only take the Fat Busting Pill for 28 days as after that it can affect you don’t know how but that is what the packet says.

The first day was a bit rough on him as he only can consume 1800 calories in a day to lose weight, I have him consuming around 1600 calories a day and with his walk he is only really consuming 1300 calories, he had been consuming 2600+ so it was a big change for him but he did well. I was so proud of him he didn’t complain but that night he was very hungry but he took his fat pill and went to bed.

Day two on top of the food we included exercise basically all it is is a 1/2 hour walk. No jogging etc. Just a steady paced walk and he continues to have that 1/2 hour walk everyday.

Four small meals a day is a think a key to his sucess. He is not hungry at all there have been I think about 3-4 times total in the space of the week that he has been hungry and he has found a glass of water and a fat pill has helped that. But is finding that he is surviving on the food that he is eating.

Loads of veg and fruit are the main thing in the diet. But during this week he has had hot chocolates, pizza and icecream which really help him to see that he can still indulge but in small amounts and he is happ, although he wasn’t impressed when I said he could only have 4 medium pieces of pizza. He usually would consume about 1 pizza but again I was surprised and also happy that he ate the pizza and than had a fat pill and was on his way. Didn’t ask for anything that night.

At the end of the week I weighed him and it was great he has lost 1kg and is happy. He has set the goal of being totally weight free and at his goal weight before Christmas. He is well on the way to that. We will increase the activity walking and other exercises in the next week. But the walk everyday is good not only for his physical health but for his spiritual and mental health as well.

I will update you next week to see how much better he can do. I enjoy watching him lose weight.

I feel totally vulnerable, these last few weeks of pregnancy really do take it out of you. The thoughts of labour the incredible pain the incredible joy I go between these two emotions a lot.

I am starting to have these thoughts of all the things that could go wrong in the labour ward I know that I shouldn’t have fear because God has not given me a Spirit of Fear I keep telling myself this so as to take those moments of panic away. I know that God is with me and that this birth is going to be beautiful but these thoughts still appear.

I am envisioning a really quick really nice peaceful birth. I would love to have the baby at home in my bathtub, but I would think it safer to have it in hospital with the doctor there in case. I am focusing on and praying for a lovely birth that my husband and I will both enjoy.

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7 AMP

I will keep focusing on this and I know that God will honor it.

I know that I am insulting babies at this point but I don’t know where my mind has gone I just hope it comes home from holidays in the next few weeks after this baby is born.

I ask the dumbest questions and I am sure that people laugh at me all the time. I am so ready for this to be over. My driving is getting worse I am near ready at times to hand my license in.

This is all my husbands fault I can even remember to punish him by refusing sex :). I mean if he hadn’t had his way with me I wouldn’t be in this position. But than again I was enjoying being in the position before this week.

OH Brain please come back soon. I need you.
