Wow it has been ages....

Well I have not done a update in just ages, could hardly believe it was June!  I had been going great guns, loosing progressively each week.  My total loss was 20.7kg

I then got a tummy bug which lasted 3 weeks which helped one week with a loss of 1.5kg and also I had no appetite.  Well it came back ten fold and I seem to be in a state of not being able to help myself at all.  We have been away for a 8 day break as well but I now have a total loss of 17.4kg, still under 80kg but only just.  What the hell am I doing!

WHERE HAS MY MOJO GONE!  Well that is how I feel.  

I am still getting compliments but I am sure not good at taking them at the moment as I feel like a fraud.  I am just about eating everything in site!  What is going wrong with me?  I spoke to two groups in the last week about my journey when I was South to Dunedin and Invercargill, but felt dishonest not telling them that I am currently off the rails and cannot get a grip on my journey.  What a hypocrite!

I know I need to get back to tracking and weighing, making myself accountable.  Plan my meals and get my water bottle out...    I start the day out good then I have a biscuit and realise what I have done.  All down hill from there.  I even took myself shopping and brought new clothes to make me feel better, but nope that did not work either, the compliments just made me feel like shit more, as I feel super fat in them as they are fitting.

Prior to this all happening I was a all or nothing girl, I found it easier to have none, was not even tempted now I have let go, I seem to be a all girl!  How can I make this easier for myself?

I have also not weighed in for 3 weeks at my normal meetings because of weather, snow and being away, and find I need to be accountable to a certain person each week and the scales (I have been weighing in elsewhere.  I do find this scarey as what happens when I don't have to each week, but hopefully I will be strong enough in my own mental state to cope, don't need to think about that yet, need to get over this current hurdle.

Well that is where I am currently, struggling, so have found it easier to just keep off threads and stuff as I feel like I am so negative about it all.   I keep telling myself I am only human, but how long can I use that excuse?

I know I am worthy of this journey, I just need to get back on it!

500g gone in a fortnight....

well I have not posted for a week, so time to update you all.  Could not do it after Tuesday night as was a bit peeved to say the least.  500g down in a fortnight.  What did I learn from this? 

1. Yes I am only human and get pissed when I don't loose more too!
2. That eating my full 49 weeklies does nothing for me when I don't exercise, as in I don't get a big enough result, as I am in too much of a hurry!!!
3. That I needed to pull my head in (hence why i did not blog when I was pissed about it)  I am only human and need to be more flexible with myself which is what the program is designed to be with the 49 available each week.  I need to remind myself that when I need to sustain my weight when at goal, I need to be able to let myself be flexible.
4. And when I don't drink my water it shows big time!!!

So, Yesterday to top it all off I had a bit of a shit day, well not a shit day in the way my day went but this is it...

Got up and was on a mission and what I was up to changed, yeah a day to do jobs I needed to catch up on.  Dropped girls at preschool and did jobs up st and then did groceries, and by time I got home for lunch was 2pm and I was starving.  Whoops -  I was too hungry and could not get satisfied. so I ate more than I needed to and wasted points!!!!  So by the time I left to pick up kids from preschool I only had 1pp to eat for tea!!  What a knob, and it was all because I ate too late and got starving!!!  So for lunch I had a ww meal because I wanted something instant and put my groceries away while it cooked.  I ate it while reading and had eaten it before I realised and then was still hungry so I had a muffin split and mushroom soup no pp as well.  So spent 12pp for lunch and by this time had had 2 coffees as well. 

We then went out after school for coffee with friends so had another coffee and half a apple and cinnamon bun, shared with a friend, as I really wanted it.  So all in all I used 17 extra pp yesterday.  What a waste and lesson learnt.   I also decided I needed to eat them while I was hungry as I find if I back pedal and am hungry all the time, that just does my head in and plays stupid games.  So lesson learnt...

So today I need to get off my bum and make my lunch frittata and be back in control.  Back to normal as yesterday is history!    

We have a pot luck dinner to go to Sunday, so because I am the Kitchen bitch for this at the fire station, I will plate up my own meal and just take it and eat it, no one will notice as they will all be so involved in what they eating they have no idea!   Sometimes we think other people care too much when really as long as they are fed they don't.  I made a great mac cheese off the ww website this week, so might make that for my family dish, cherios for the kids and my own plate for me.  So mac cheese and might do a pot of veg, yummy.   The other food will be very fat laden, as they are all big stoggy food eaters.

Well have a great weekend, don't let the hunger bug bite you, he got me yesterday but not again in a hurry, serves me right for not packing a banana in my handbag like I normally do!!!

Shakily Shakily

Well what a week.  We had been away for the weekend to inlaws and I had cooked out of the kindness of my heart to be selfish so I could control my own food destiny only to discover my father in laws new partner hates cooking and I love cooking!  Great exchange can be had there in the future.

No meeting on Tuesday night apart from a virtual one, so I weighed in Weds lunch time at a different venue and different scales due to bloody stupid mother nature who needs to take her happy pills!!!!!!!

My darling friend did offer to weigh me on the side of the road by a concrete elephant at a park, but no, I chose not to. LOL

I stayed the same this week but I am ok with that.  Lots to take into account,

1. different scales
2. different time and day
3. been away for the weekend
4. earthquake, but then again I had a banana instead of chocolate!

So I am not buying into it this time, normally with a gain or staying the same it would worry me, derail me, piss me off, but no not this time!

I have done my best, stuck to the program, eaten within my guidelines, not been excellent on water, but ok, not exercised only incidental but then again I am only human.

And mother nature, you my not so friendly one, you are pissing on so many people and ruining there lives.  But you are not going to stuff up my weight loss journey for me!!!  I am in control of that, even though you can rock our earth you are not determining my weight loss destiny, do you understand?

So till next week.....

I did it!!

Well I made it, I am back in the 70's!!  Whoop Whoop, has taken a year to be out of it and back in, last time I was in the 70's was June last year, so back again and it feels great!! 

Next mini goal is 77.9kg as that is the lightest I have been apart from the way up there!!  So goodbye 4.8kg in 5 weeks~!~

Some new discoveries MY style with a little help from my ww Angel!  These are my views and opinions, expressions only, not endorsed by anyone or anything else!!  If your easily offended, don't read on!

A few weeks ago, you will be able to work out when, things started happening.  Dad had died and time to concentrate on me!  Sounds awful, but he was taking up alot of my head space, running away and having him in care was hard, but we got there, he is in a much better place now!  RIP Dad, love you!!

So...  I had a few tearful moments recently with my Angel when she said to me at a very momentus moment!   One at night and one in a mall carpark!  'Why do you think you are not worth of this journey'.  Well hell that was a wake up call.  I had never thought about it like that.  But it hit one nail on the head.  I really had no idea why I did not think I was worth it?  Am I or am I not?  Why did I abuse my body and just shove more food in.  And why? (Drink is not a issue for me with my Crohns Disease as I don't drink or I pay for it).

Well I am bloody worthy of this, I decided and it was a ground breaking moment.  Those words really hit on something from within.  From then on in I have had  fantastic results, stuck to program and weigh my food, point everything and also I TRACK MY FOOD.  It is a hassle but you know what?  It makes me accountable for every thing that goes in my gob hole! 

No matter how big or small, I track it!  If I cheat, who am I cheating, not my Angel, not my lovely members but ME!!!  Who do I have to be accountable to, the scales when I get on, as they tell me what I need to know, I never weigh at home, only a once a week girl here, and of course I am accountable only to ME!  If I gain, who can I blame, ME!!  You know what, it will happen, when I track and keep within my points and not eat more than my 49 extras, (I don't eat my exercise bonus points), I don't eat out of it, I don't need to, that is heaps of food for me!   So when I do gain and if I have done the best I possibly can, as if I cheated I was only cheating myself it will be my body adjusting to the new fabulous me, it will happen, I know!

I don't do additional exercise, my life has been busy but I make sure I do heaps of incidental exercise, I run after two wee darling girls, who I want to see grow up, who are 2 1/2 and 3 1/2, work other places, and volunteer in a few organisations including running after a volunteer fire crew as Secretary/Treasurer and wife of Deputy Cheif, of 19 men and ladies!

So everyday ladies and gents, every day I say to myself when I am faced with a demon food like savoury muffins, or a treat.  I know what that tastes like, do I really need to taste it again?  It won't of changed from last time, for example a belgium biscuit, nope no change reported so no I won't have it.  This is how I cope with those moments during the day.

AND every bloody day I say to myself over and over and over again, I AM WORTHY OF THIS!!!  Do you know how powerful those words are?  They are amazingly powerful, they keep me inspired, I am not on this journey for fun, or a joke.  But because I need the help, guidance and support from my wonderful Angel and friends.  And I need to get fitter, healthy and I deserve it!!  It is not a easy thing to do to loose weight, if it was, we would not all be members, not get to meet each other, enjoy the company of each other and of course makes some lovely friendships.

I have given up making excuses and not making time for me!  I am worthy of that time and it is selfish to me, but stuff everything else it can wait, as I need to do this for me.  So when you hear about me planning my meals, I am worthy of the time, so why would I not.  If it is what makes it work for me, I have to do it, or I am only ripping myself off and making excuses when there are NO EXCUSES!!

To my darling Angel, I know you have done your major journey but you are still on your mission for the rest of your life, just as I will be when I hit my goal!  It is not easy to maintain and I think you do a fantastic job.  You are my star, you shine for me when I need you most, you tell me what I need to hear, even if I don't want to hear it!!  (now I have tears again).  You so lit something inside me that no one else has ever ever done!  You are a huge inspiration to me after loosing all your weight, I love spending time with you and listening to what you have to say.  I don't think you realise just how much we soak up what you say!  You just sparkle when you talk to us and send us on our merry way!!  You are "O" or Orsome!  You are my shining star!!!!

To you other fellow ww'ers on your journey, ARE YOU WORTHY?  Ask yourself as I know the answer will come from inside.  No one said it would be easy!!  So remember if you need a wee boost my style think about these six words.  I AM WORTHY AND NO EXCUSES!!!

Please leave me a comment, I love to hear your thoughts, this is a closed blog, you can't google to find it, your words are precious to me, and if this just makes you think twice about you and your journey or even my journey that will make me smile!  And if you think this is a load of shit, go tell someone who cares, because this is from my heart and how I feel!

Have a fantastic week, I know I will and I will come back soon and update you!!

Love ME xo

Mirror Mirror on the wall...

Well sort of anyway, today i was walking down the main street of Ranggoon and I looked at my reflection in the window, I am starting to like better what I see again.  My bum is starting to get smaller I think!!

Another 600g Bites The Dust!!

Only 1kg to go and I am back into the 70's,   WOOOHOOOOO

Tuesday again!

Yes it is Tuesday again, I love Tuesday's!!!   I am off to town to see Nana and then off to work and weigh in.

Feeling very very proud of myself this week, drunk my water everyday and tracked and weighed my food all week, eaten within my points and only eaten 11 of my 49 extras for the week, not used any bonus points earned by my pedometer either. 

So we will see............ 

I will pop in tonight to let you know the verdict  and as for exercising, well  next week, Rome was not built in a day and what I have done, I have done well, so next week it is my goal!

Wicked Shit

Well that is what I heard one person say tonight when she got on the scales and I thought yes, that is it, WICKED SHIT!!!  Well I am stoked tonight, another 1.1kg down and now 81.5 so 1.6kg to go and I am in the 70's!!!  Disco ball, here I come!!!!

Not much else to say, I tried hard and persevered, got the results and more!  My disease this week has been balanced and I have not had a night where I have lost my dinner, so a great balanced week really.

I had a Grand Chicken Seared Burger for lunch at MacD's (Old Mac Farmers - as the girls call it) and it was fantastic.  11pp but worth every pp and it is very filling I think!

I have noticed in the last week, my eyes are getting way way way bigger than my belly and I am not finishing my meals as much as I normally would of.

Have a great week, and I will update if I have any new revelations.

Goals this week, exercise at least twice, mini pump  of water EVERY day and track/journal every day!!!

xo

Today is D Day

Well today I take a step closer to the 70's when I jump onto the scales tonight.  I have tracked every day and weighed all my food except when I was out at a chinese restaurant and thought that would look a bit stupid if I grab the scales out of my handbag.  I have 21 weekly points still left to use, so pleased with that.  It has allowed me to make good decisions during the week and not feel like I am being deprived.

I don't feel like I have drunk enough water this week, I have tried but not very hard.  I have a few wee small achieveable goals for myself this week.

1.    Drink a mini pump of water every day, more if possible

2.    Exercise at least twice this week, I have been doing none lately, time to make time for me again!

3.    Track everyday in my journal so I make myself accountable for what I eat.

I had a savoury muffin this week on Saturday with a friend.  It was approximately 15 pp, who would waste that on a muffin I hear you say.  They are my weakness and I found once I had one, I wanted more.  So I know to stay clear.  Hubby normally has a savoury, but he actually prefers sweet, which I hate so from now on, I will just buy him a sweet one without asking, have none myself - which I can live with and problem solved.  I now know not to have any, as it just makes me want more.  Which was even harder.  I remind myself constantly when I look at a food - I have eaten it before and what did it taste like?  yep you know what it tastes like, so why do you need another and this normally makes me think twice.  In fact most of the time, I hear my inner voice say, "I know what that tastes like" and that is normally enough for me to look on or move on.  Hope that makes sense but it is one way I look at temptation.  If I really wanted it and had to have it, then I would either share or decide if I want to really spend pp on that!!

Will come back in once I get home tonight to let you know how I have gone.  Have a great day all!  Don't forget to drop me a wee line!!!

Wow where has the time gone?

I cannot believe I have not posted for so long!!  It has been a huge few months and weeks.  My dad passed away on the 19th of April expected but still very suddenly.  So in 2 1/2 weeks over that period I put on 2.6kg and during the earthquake month I put on 2.1kg over nearly 4 weeks, so as you can guess what it has done to my weight loss.  But with a lot of soul searching and help from wonderful friends and supportive family and colleagues I am back on track!!  You know who you are and thank you!  I lost 1.2kg on my next weigh in and then 800g last week, so I am now 82.6kgs. 

My next mini goal is to get into the 70's and be a 70's chick.  I have been there before but not since, well not for a bloody long time!  June last year I was at my lowest at 77.9kg (loss of 18.7kgs) so I am out to beat this and more in the very near future. 

I have been asked recently why I don't think  I am worthy of this.  I am one who gets on the scales and I am always just me, I guess but I am never overjoyed.  So I am trying to change the way I think and remind myself everyday, more often than once that I am very worthy of being a healthier me which will lead to me being happier.  My Crohn's disease does hinder sometimes but I try to just brush over it and move on.  If I eat lots of fruit or veg, high fibre I pay for it.

Well guys and girls, that is a wee update from me at present.  My hubby is working huge hours due to the earthquake, so I am finding evenings a tad hard and I can hear the pantry calling my name often.  I try and counteract that with fruit mainly.

My weigh in is now on a Tuesday evening, so I will be sure to keep you all updated.  Thanks for reading and remember, you too are worthy of being a happier, healthier person too!!!

Update

Well everyone, I hope this finds you all ok and those in Christchurch safe.  First of all our family and friends are all safe and accounted for and I thank our lucky stars.  I have also not had a laptop so have not been able to update, so I apologise.  This week on Tuesday before the quake I put on 100g, which is not surprising when I have been on steroids, I have been so hungry, but I have now lost my appetite, but we are getting thru.  Today hubby is away helping people clear streets and driveways with our fire crew.    I was in a local mall when it happened with my sister and mum, and my two daughters 2 and 3 years old, it was very scarey but we live to tell the story.

I hope this finds all you local people fine and safe with your families and loved ones too.  I will pop back in when I can, it is not a priority of mine at present but I have been thinking of all my ww family as well.  You do think of everyone in your life in situations like this.

Take care and keep safe,

Kirsten

WOW

I lost 200g and I so don't deserve it!!!!!   Now back to 16kg lost.  I am gobsmacked but to be honest if I am not super super dooper good this week it is going to bite me in the arse!!

I also went shopping today and brought some black tights to go under long t shirts.  Took the XL in the changing rooms and had to come back and get the L, as the XL was baggy and pathetic, LOL.  Made me feel so goooood!!

Hope you are all well.

Love K

Tomorrow is terrible Tuesday...

Well it is going to be this week, as I know I will of bloody gained and guess what, who do I have to blame, me, myself and I.   I can use the excuse of being sick, and yes I still am, been to doc this pm and now on anti's and also steroids and inhaler to try and kick it.  I have had it since before xmas so just need it to piss off now!!!    I am also very cautious of what I take because of my chrons's disease, so we will see what all the added meds do.  So that is my excuse but it is also a fact... so next week my goal is to track every day, all seven of them, so please make me accountable for it!!!

Hope you have had a lovely valentines day, I got a red rose delivered, got the shock of my life, but sure gave me the warm fuzzys.

K

Sorry everyone

But I have not deserted you, just our laptop had a spaz attack and would not bloody turn on, on Thursday am, so been net free for a few days. 

My weight loss journey has had excuses the last few days and I so need a kick up the arse!  I have my  montly, still have a smokers cough, which I have had since before xmas, (I don't smoke) and still all blocked up (nasal variety).   So not excuses but just life.  Time to go back to doc for yet another lot of anti's I guess.  I have had 2x 10 day lots now, but am so over my bloody hacking cough and continual running nose, stupid blocked ears, it is really starting to get me down, and what have I done eat.  But I guess I am human too!

I am off to bed, but will get a chance tomorrow night to jump on here, and 5 minutes to myself.  The lady I work for in a wee shop has been away and we have been to a fair for work today and was still at work at 10pm on Friday night, so has been full on and I am stuffed.

Hope you have all had a bloody good weekend!!!! 

Kirsten

PS  I have had my March WW mag since Friday am, and have still not read any, as I have been so tired, so off to read a few pages (I subscribe so you get it earlier than we sell them at work)!!!!!!!  I need the inspiration, so I will go and get reading!

Weigh in

Well I lost 400g, yipppeee, I'm happy with that!!  I will try and get back in tomorrow, just been a mad house here.

xo

Monday already

I am sorry ladies, I don't know where the weekend went!!!  I thought I was in yesterday, but obviously the heat got to me.   We had a full on weekend, party on Saturday and I feel I made good choices, but I guess tomorrow on the scales will show, but then again, I feel ok about it, even if I don't have a loss.  I did have a great time and that also counts to live a little while you are on your journey.

Tomorrow is D day and I have been asked a wee challenge to share with the Tues pm meeting, will fill you all in tomorrow night, but I am really looking forward to it.

Worked today and it rained, what a releif, it was so so so hot yesterday and last night, it was impossible to do anything, but I still managed to eat!!

Have a fab week, take care and remember

NO EXCUSES - if I can do it, so can you xxxooo

PS  thanks for the new photo, to the lovely friend who did it for me, as I hated the one I opened, at least this one reminds me I can do it and by god I bloody WILL!!!

Well Friday is done and dusted!

Over, over the coughing, do I get exercise points for coughing?????  I think I should!

Been a busy day, and the weekend here we come!  Have  a birthday party tomorrow to go to, you know who you are!  For lunch, but she is the best supportive friend and will of catered for everyone, even me guaranteed.  I am down to 30 of my extra 49 savings bank, spending points left, so hope she does not cater for me too much!!! 

I really have nothing to report, but will be back in tomorrow, hope you all have a fab weekend!!!

PS  Love my hair, got my eyebrows waxed today, so feel like a new super woman!!

And .....

to the lovely chick who met me on Tuesday night and did not recognise me from my god damn awful first photo, I love you lots!!!  Thank you, she did not recognise me in person, what a boost to my ego!!!!!!

Thursday

Well not much to report today, been another busy one.  Have not been on the treadmill, so need to the next four days or will miss my mini goal for the week.  My food intake has been fluctuating and I have been bloody hungry, but no ones fault but my own as I have not been eating as well as I had.  I also find, I go to eat more and I am stuffed full, so my stomach is obviously use to less, I just have to match my eyes to my stomach!!  I have a full on cold, I don't seem to be able to get rid of, which is now really annoying me (that's the polite way I can share it).  I have had it for weeks.  Friends keep saying, take vitamins, but I have not said on here as yet, I have Crohn's Disease, so I have to be careful what I take like that.    So I also have to be careful how much fruit and veg I eat and also fibre.   I seem to have it under control lately, so I don't want to rock that boat.

I hope you have had a good few days, today I treated myself to a new haircut and style, wooohoooo, made me feel so much better.  I have dyed it tonight, chocolate rush colour, and tomorrow will be the telling day, if I can manage to do it how they did today at the salon.  But sure gave me a wee pick up and I walked out and felt fab.  Why should I not!!! 

Have a great friday, and I will update you tomorrow night, I am off to town to visit my dad in a rest home with dimentia, which I hate going to see as he does not know me, but also like to go and make sure he is doing fine!! 

Love to hear from you if you are following my journey, anything I can shut up about or improve on, or you want to know???????????????//

NOEXCUSES  remember!!!   xxoo

Weigh in and the last couple of days...

Good morning ladies, well the last two days have flown, between kids and work and meetings and life of course!

First of all, I hate that photo I see when I log in, it sure slaps me in the face and reminds me I can do it.

• I weighed in yesterday morning and lost 300gms
• total weight loss now 15.4kg
• feeling heaps better, but have a stupid cold and cough if anyone wants it
• that is 6 days loss instead of a week as I have changed meetings, so that I weigh in earlier in the day.  I don't eat before the meeting so when I weigh in on a wed, I am really hungry by noon.  LOL, so moved to a Tuesday as means I can weigh in at 9.30am, so this week will be 7 days

This week my goal is to loose 500g, as I feel 300g is not a lot, I know it is a loss.  I also had my meal out this last week as well.  So this week, tracking, drinking my water and also exercise 4 times this week for half hour.....  all very achievable.

We all have colds and coughs here so as you can imagine, with two preschoolers, been a tiring few days, as girls not sleeping during the night.  I have gone to reach for food when I get up during the night but decided not to do it....  AND

Yesterday after my weigh in I had a pesto, sweet chilli and cheese scroll.  I was annoyed at my loss, guess like everyone I can be unreasonable too, I even found myself telling someone who got on the scales last night, that is a great loss, any loss is a loss and thought to myself, eat my own words!!  I guess as long as I point it, and get on with it, it's not so bad.  I had it for lunch, and had no margarine which is unusual for me!!!   My problem with this is savoury scrolls and scones are really a weakness for me, so I have been avoiding.  Well sorry for sharing that useless information about my scroll, but I feel I need to be honest with you ladies and tell you  my feelings, but now feel like I have waffled about nothing!!!

Have a fantastic day today and I will try and pop in tonight, a few normal days coming up for me, if my life can be referred to as  normal.  Next challenge a birthday lunch on Saturday, so have to be good in my choices!!

Don 't forget to leave me a note, love to hear from you and share your journey xxoo

Sunday

Well today has been and gone, with lots on.  We had fish for tea and I overcooked it, which really pissed me off!!  I so enjoy decent fish, but I sure stuffed it by cooking it!!  Had a great night out last night, feel I made good choices, and happy with what I did eat and estatic about what I did not eat or be tempted by. 

We even managed a walk around a lake this morning, which was nice, but there was a triathlon on, so felt a bit self conscious with all the mega fit skinnys there, but also admiration for them getting off there arse and doing it, so well done ladies!!  (might be me and you next!)

I made a mean lunch today!!  English muffins toasted, with cooked courgette and mushroom on top, with tegel chicken bacon and a egg on top, was so yummy!!!  Tegel chicken bacon is the best standby to have in the fridge, must remember to put more on my shopping list.

Well new week tomorrow and weigh in day on Tuesday instead of Wednesday, wonder what difference I have made in 6 days instead of 7.  Also cutting down on the fruit I am eating, I think I am eating far too much and also I am back to drinking my water again, been a effort with my head cold, but I am finally there!

Have a great week, will try and get back in tomorrow but have a crazy crazy day!  It may be later on!!

No Excuses xxoo

PS  I did get on treadmill yesterday and managed to do my half hour with no puking!!! 

Saturday update

Well we made it to today, two days with 3 kids has been a challenge, we now have 2 very tired grumpy kids.

So tonight I am out with a lovely bunch of girls for tea, off to Coyotes at the Palms, been thru the menu and found the best choice for me, I decided I wanted to choose something good for me, but then paying for it and not cooking my meal, it had to be something bloody awesome too!!   This way I know I can go and cope and not feel guilty lately.  I have had 3 great weeks, made fab choices, been pleased with my losses, so why spoil it now.

Being tired last night I did look at the baking twice on the bench the kids and I did yesterday, but I did have a piece when it come out of the oven so I reminded myself that I knew what it tasted like, so no I did not need it!!!  This is something I say to myself often, you know what it tastes like, so do I really need to eat it? We went away last weekend to father in laws house and I brought belgium biscuits to have with a coffee, but as I keep reminding myself, I know what it tastes likes and it smells better than it tastes and also costs too many points.  If I really wanted one, I would have it, but I would save for it, like I have for tonight and make the bloody most of it, enjoy it and savour it. 

Well I had a bacon and egg roll with lettuce and tomato for late lunch, will have something filling to eat about 5 - 6pm (probably fruit) as we not eating till 8 which is late for me, but this way I cope and not get over hungy.  LOL. 

Have a fantastic day everyone, I am heading out to the treadmill again soon, once my lunch goes down to shake my wobbly bits...

My takeaway

We get burgers on the odd occassion from a local shop, they are called gourmet chicken.  They have a bread bun, little bit of sauce, onion, lettuce and chicken breast!!  So I thought they would not be too bad.  So once I brought it, I came home and disected it to work out the points.    11 Propoints on our plan, so now I know, I can allow it properly, it is a couple more than I thought it would be, which was the bread, higher than I estimated.  Thanks to the friend who suggested to do this on my favourite and regular foods I eat out.  I have weighed my sushi and worked that out and also coffee from our local coffee culture.  Today is a day at home with the temptation of food all day with 3 preschoolers I have a friend having a baby, so have her wee girl as well.  So I have plenty of fruit on hand and will chop a plate up and put it out so the kids can pick on that, instead of asking me for food all day.  Means I can have a nibble with them.  Yesterday I made a huge dish up of chicken and veg, with sour cream and sweet chilli, which is in the fridge cooled and  now I will wrap into filo parcels, and freeze ready for meals.  I have worked out the points for the bulk amount and will weigh out portions and divide it so my meals are all set to go.  Yell if anyone wants some more info on what I have done. I have added some photos for you all of me on my journey.  If I am really game at some stage, will share some measurements with you.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!

PS  I do have the odd aching muscle or two from yesterdays wobbling bits but my boobs have not fallen off as yet from being shaken to death yesterday!  I plan to get back onto the treadmill later today and give my body another shaking, will have to wait till hubby gets home though.

Exercise & wobbly bits

I promised honesty so you are going to get it.  As some of you know we have hired a tread mill, as hubby wants to up his fitness and of course I need to.   Well today is the first day of running and walking on it and I am stuffed.  30mins on it, and you run 30 seconds every 5 minutes and of course repeat this six times.  The whole aim is to run 30mins in 11 weeks.  

Well I have wobbly bits I did not know existed, but I did it, and without being motion sick too...... yes happened the first couple of times I used it.

I went to the warehouse today and brought a couple of t shirts and I had some shorts, so all go, no excuses remember!!

So that is my progress for today so far, I will be back in tonight, hope you are all enjoying your day!!

About me...

Well about me, I am a mid 30's Mum and Wife, we have two girls, aged 2 and 3.  I have always been overweight, always since I was 5.  This year is my year and I am going to do it, No Excuses!!  I joined again in Aug 2009 and lost 18.7 kg, then 2010 was the year of hell for us as a family, so I had every excuse under the sun.  I am back to 15.1kg lost and want to regain the other 3 I had already lost and more!!   I plan to share my journey with you all, the good, the bad and the ugly.  I do have a photo of me at the biggest, and once I am a bit more savvy with this, I will put it up, if I am brave enough.  My weigh in day has been a Wed but as of next week I am going to start weighing in on a Tuesday am.  I plan to blog daily, but life happens, so I will update as and when I can...
