WEEK 1 - 65kg

So I'm going to be honest on this page. If I want other people to benefit, I have to be honest with myself and with them. So here goes.
Officially, I started my "lifestyle change" last week on January 10th, the day I went back to school. Since then, I've been good (except for the McDonalds breakfast I had Sunday morning after an Osaka all-nighter).
Now even though I started last week, I hadn't really weighed myself before so I don't know what my starting weight was. I weighed myself this morning however and I weighed in at 65kg (143lbs). Keep in mind that this is on my second-hand Winnie the Pooh scale so I don't know how accurate it is. I'll weigh myself on a proper scale next time I go to the gym.

Setting goals: Following the S.M.A.R.T. principle, I need to set a goal that is Specific, Measurable, Adjustable, Realistic and Time-based.
My ideal weight would be between 50-55kg (110-121lbs), my weight before the horrors of University. So my goal is to lose 15kg (33lbs)--specific. I will weigh myself once a week to check progress--measurable. If I falter, I won't quit but I will readjust my goal--adjustable. I used to weigh 118lbs so an ideal weight of 110-121lbs is--reasonable. I want to achieve this in 36 weeks (9 months)... average about 0.5kg a week--time-based.
I guess that's a good start.

Banishing food cravings: I found this article interesting. I never realized how brushing discouraged me from eating but it does... How many times have I said no to food because "I've just brushed my teeth"?? Plenty.

Things I still need to buy: travel toothbrush/toothpaste kit, blender, food scale, small storage containers.
