operation shorts #2

I started Operation Shorts in February. I found a lovely pair of shorts that used to belong to my mum in the 80's that were just too small and it is my aim to fit in to them.
Since February I have managed to lose and keep off a total of 12 pounds which I am really pleased with. I have only changed my eating habits so far! I'm now eating breakfast, having salads for lunch and smaller portions in the evening! I now treat myself to chocolate, crisps and caffeine once a week instead of on a daily basis.
I think I've lost as much as I can from eating healthy alone so I am now going to do the 30 day shred and buy a weighted hula hoop. I want to concentrate on my thighs and stomach so if you have any exercises for these areas I would love to hear them.

12 pounds down, 9 to go to my goal weight. I have a feeling this is going to be really hard!

You'd expect to see a post about New Year's Resolutions in January. To say I've eased myself in gently this year is a bit of an understatement.

I have been helping my dad clear out our loft. I discovered loads of my mum's 80's clothes which I love, these shorts in particular. Only thing is - they're too small! It is my aim that by the time I go to Australia I will be able to fit in to these beauties.

I am going to do a monthly 'Operation Shorts' post which will help me keep track of how I am getting on, which will hopefully motivate me to keep going.

Only thing is - I have zero will power after a week or two! Your tips/tricks/suggestions would be greatly appreciated for snacks/exercise/motivation!

Here I go...
