I've lost 10kg

Christmas is almost here and I've taken some time off work to try and relax and get my head straight.

So as the title states, I've lost 10kg so far. The Optifast shakes have been working for me but I'm now starting to struggle with keeping it going. I'm going to keep on them for a while longer but being on holidays and eating out, kind of go hand and hand for me. I'm not too concerned as I know that I can get my act together again in the new year and continue losing weight. 

My goal weight is somewhere around 80kg, but I'm not sure if that's too far or not as I did some online calculator and it seemed to think that 90kg is what I should weigh. I guess I'll just see if I can even get to 90kg and see if I think I could still lose more or not.

The hardest thing about the shakes has been getting sick of only having veges or salad for dinner. What I've been doing is having shakes for breakfast and lunch, then having stir-fried veges or a salad for dinner, then having a shake for desert. Both my wife and I are really struggling with that. To spice things up, I've started adding some meat to dinner, but that then means that we can't have a shake for desert so we both start getting hungry and start looking for the kids chocolate.

Since I'm on holidays I've also bought some low carb beer and actually right now I'm having a can of Bourbon and Cola, not ideal but hey, you've still got to have fun every now and then and like I said, I'm going to get back on a more strict diet once my holidays are over.

The council finally approved our house plans so the builder is trying to get the construction certificate complete so we can actually start building. So that's great news. We're still hoping to be in the new house by next Christmas, but the builder isn't making any promises. We'd initially hoped to be in by Easter but there's no chance of that now and really we don't want them to rush. Thank-fully it seems that the La-Nina event is almost over so it shouldn't be raining so much over the next 12 months which will help the builder.

Finally, the gaming YouTube channel that I've been posting to is starting to get a few subscriptions and more regular veiwers. I'm not kidding myself as I still only get one to two hundred views per video and I currently have 32 subscribers, but hey, you've got to start somewhere and this is a genuine start. It's too early to know if the channel will become more popular or not, it may continue to grow, or I may have already peaked, who knows.

Anyway, thanks for reading and I wish you and yours all the best over the festive season and all the best for 2023.
