WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys!

Can you tell that I am a lil excited??

I had my WI today and scored a personal best loss of 1.4KG!!!!
I needed 0.2 to make my 1st 5kg loss and 0.7 to get to 5% AND I LOST TWICE WHAT I NEEDED FOR 5%!!!!!

I have now lost a total of 6.2kgs. I am 4.9kgs from under 100 and 10% and 3.8kgs from my 10kg loss.

What I love is that I had at least 1 small Choc (Mars Celebrations 1.5pts each) EVERY DAY OF THE WORKING WEEK!!

I just can't believe how easy this journey has been so far. I have of course had my ups and downs but overall it has been easy as!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I treated myself to 2 pandora charms for my achievement. 1 for the 5kg and 1 for 5%

AWESOME!!

:)

Monday.. sigh..

Hello

Not too excited today. I think it is an extended case of Mondayitis :( so I will keep this quick.

I had my weigh in yesterday and lost 0.2kg. It wasn't a gain and I wasn't expecting a stellar week so not so bad. I definitely think that not working Wed-Fri, not walking to and from the bus stop each of those days (in addition to not doing my arvo walk on Tuesday) AND the eating out a lot worked against me last week. But I am now on track for a good week and hopefully a 700g+ weight loss. That would mean that I would make 5kgs and 5% :) (200g until 5kgs and 700gs from 5%)

On a happier note, I was very pleased with myself today. When I got to work the social club had bought everyone chocies for valentines day. I got some Mars Celebrations (little choc balls based on the mars flavours). I calculated the points for them and they are 1.5 each. As I forgot my morning tea (WW Bar, 1.5 points) so I had 1.5 spare. Plus it had been 6 Weeks since I had a real chocolate! I opened the packet and had a dove flavoured choc. OMG! It was practically ORGASMIC! I ate it in little bites and let it melt in my mouth (I'm drooling just thinking how nice it was lol) but then I put the rest of them in my draw and did not touch a single one :)
The old me would have wolfed them down before lunch! Eating just 1 each day will be good practice for easter! I have asked my OH to buy me little eggs because it is much easier to stop a 1 whole little egg than xgs of a big egg :)

So much for a quick one! lol

Have a great night guys :)

Ooops :)

Hey Guys,

Sorry its been so long since posting. I have not been very motivated lately. Kind of down in the dumps.. Not too sure why though.

Anyways I'll start with what has been happening over the last two weeks.. Hmmmm.. lets see.. well there has been work, work, work and (you guessed it!) more work. I went and watched Ant bowl (10 pin) on Wednesday last week. That got me down a bit coz I looove bowling but there is no more room in the team for me :(. I wanted to go bowling on the weekend but it didn't end up happening. Had my WI on the Sunday and lost a PB of 1.3kg and got down to 106.4. I have been looking forward to getting to my 1st 5kg (and 5% if i lose 1kg tomorrow) but I don't think that will happen. I must admit that I am a serial weigher and the scales have not been kind so far this week.

It's my own fault I guess. Although I did try to be good.. It was Ants birthday on Wednesday. We had bacon and eggs for breakfast (I had my WW bacon and cooked some 'real' bacon for him) we had take away for lunch (but I had a chicken and salad sandwich on wholemeal) and then went out for dinner to a pub. Pub food is SOOOO bad! Ant got a steak and it had TONS of chips and lashings of salad dressing on the salad. I knew when I ordered that if there were chips on my plate I would not have the will power to not eat them. After a quick scan of the menu I ended up ordering a chicken and mushroom risotto. Not the greatest choice I know, but I scrapped off the cheese and cut the bowl in half. I only ate the food on my half and not a grain of rice more!. I was very proud of the fact that I actually left the table with half a bowl of food left.. Plus I just ate enough (wasn't stuffed or hungry after dinner) while Ant was complaining about being so full he was about to burst! hehe.. I did end up going over points by about 5 for that day but I made sure that I saved and exercised enough to cover it.. I'm still not keeping my hopes up for a loss this week.

Anyway, I have to go and do the dishes and cook dinner.. yay..

I'll try to not neglect you so much in the future :)

Weigh In Day

Well this morning was my weigh in and as hoped I lost 1kg exactly :)
This brings my stats to:
Start Weight: 111kg
Current Weight: 107.7
This Week: -1kg
Total: -3.3kg

I also started tracking my measurements this week so we'll see how they go next week.

I'm currently trying to decide what to do today. As yesterday was a PJ day I would like to get out of the house for a while. I looked into going to the gym, but I always feel intimidated at the gym. Like people are watching me and thinking nasty things about that big fat chick trying to do yoga (I love yoga) or on the treadmill. I used to have the excuse that I don't have any shoes, but I bought new runners so that excuse is not available to me any more. Now I'm thinking about what I would wear. I have some really nice winter gym clothes but nothing for summer... It's stupid really. I pay for the membership but never use it... I'm more of a home exerciser, I worry too much about what people think when I'm in public :(

Anyways, enough of being down. Hey, I lost a whole kilo this week :)

OK I'm off. Wish me luck on getting active today

WOOHOO for Saturdays!!!

Ah, Saturday. Such a wonderful day!

I slept in until 10.30 (my longest sleep in for a while). Watched some DVDs and stayed in my PJs all day! Lazy I know but everyone needs a PJ day every now and again :)

WI tomorrow, I'll see if I can make it 3 weeks in a row with exactly 1kg loss. I'll let you know how I go tomorrow.

Hope everyone had a wonderful day and have a great Sunday.

Sleepy Serin

How very sad.. It's not even 10pm on a Friday night and I am ready to curl up in bed and go to sleep. Yeah, party animal I am hey. lol

As I am so very sleepy I will keep it brief tonight. I took part in a sausage sizzle at work today. Had 1 sausage, onion and a bread roll with tomato sauce. I said 'no thanks' to the cheese and lamingtons that came with it and got a Pepsi Max instead of the full sugar coke (delicious as it may have been). All up lunch was a nice 6 points (that's the same as if I had 2 sushi rolls like I had planned!)

Had MASSIVE chocolate cravings today too, but Weight Watchers Devils chocolate cheesecake came to my rescue! YUMMMMM. I still have 2 points left for the day so I think I might treat myself to a Nestle Diet Choc Mousse hehehe

Anyway lovelies I'm off. Have a wonderful weekend :)

what a yucky day..

Today probably wasn't the best day for my second posting.. I had a tummy bug all day :( unfortunately I also shared my bug with my partner Ant. Sharing is caring right :)

Rather than talking about my boring/horrible day I will introduce myself.

hmmmm... where to start?.. Well as my profile says I'm 25 and have a wonderful partner. His name is Ant. We met when I was in uni, 6 years ago! It still shocks me at the length of time we have been together! I love him lots and lots and we currently live in Bris. I also have a fat cat called Missy. She's 4 1/2yrs old and her full name is Mischief. I called her that because when I went to pick her up when I bought her the pet shop assistant admitted that when they came into the shop that morning she had somehow managed to escape from her padlocked cage! Then when I got her home (I was living with a few flatmates who had jack Russell terrier's) she jumped right out of my arms and tried to crash-tackle one of the dogs! lol She is a bit of a fatty now but still loves to play :) here's a pic:



I currently work in the admin department of an insurance company. I was in the contact centre for 1 1/2yrs and 6 months ago I moved to my current role. I LOVE it! Sure, insurance may not be the most interesting subject, but I work with a great team and I have a lot of fun.

I'm also currently doing weight watchers. No, that's not the right way to say it. on 03/01/10 weight watchers became a part of my daily life. I have had 3 weigh-ins so far and have lost 2.3kgs (YAY for me!) In the last 3 1/2 weeks I have only gone over my daily points allowance twice (and one of those was today, oops) but they have both been covered by saved points. My REAL downfall is exercise. The fact that I don't do much that is...

Anyways I'm off, enough ramblings for me tonight :)

and it starts...

Serendipity - is the effect by which one accidentally stumbles upon something fortunate, especially while looking for something entirely unrelated.

Talk about my life in words! Well maybe not always the 'fortunate' part, but I do seem to find a lot when I'm not looking for it. I go to Uni to find an education, didn't find the education but did find the love of my life. I move to a new town looking for a break, found the break, but I also found an extra 35kgs (that I DEFINITELY wasn't looking for!!). Was looking for a way to pay the bills and found a career. Happiness is the BIG one that you find when you aren't looking..

Who knows what I'll find next? :)
