It seems around an office of 22 heads that fully 12 of said heads are determined to lose weight/ tone up/do penance for Christmas and New Year over indulgence, so it tickled me to check out their individuals plans and I will monitor the motivation and progress and critique their methods and plans. You never know, I might observe something and learn something I have not seen or experienced before.  

Rudi ( Accounts 3 days a week) is embarking on Atkins.  So far she has trialed the foods listed to see if she might stick to it and as she loves eggs and meat it seems right up her alley.  that said however her first false start was a bowl of Kelloggs Special K,  which blew her carb count way out of the water.

Aga, website coordinator who is going through a marriage breakup and numerous games associated with that went through a terrible week and went several days without any food and bounced of walls.  I have been reminding her to nourish herself with at least some protein based smoothies, to fuel her while she processes this sadness.

Zoe, EA, was given a gift of a bootcamp session by her beau.  And they are both attending these outdoor beach based 6am sessions each morning 6 times a week for 6 weeks.  And aside from aching in amazing places she is thrilled.  She is being careful with what she east as well.  

That is just the first sampling.

It was Leisle’s birthday today so pecan pie was on for all.   I can honestly say I was the only person there who did not indulge and although i KNOW it was delicious  am committed to 6 days of nourishing my body and I want to see if it works.

The CEO also is determined to melt away a few extra pounds that have crept on with all the socialising she does ( she is currently in USA doing just that!!) .  

Who will stick to it?

Who will succeed?

What works?

Why are they doing this and why now?

    I didn’t make it a new years resolution, but I’m also focusing on reclaiming my health. This week I walked up the Town Trail twice (about a mile, all uphill, then back.)
