settling in

Had a STS (stay the same) this week, well technically a loss of .1 but not like that counts. I'm actually not disapointed as I didn't put in a lot of effort. I was in control, and allowed some treats this week. I guess I slacked off a bit. The good thing to realise is that this is the amount of effort that I will need to put in in order to not regain weight once I reach my goal. It is still effort, and it takes conscious control not to gain, and even more to loose.

I wrote a bit of a metaphor for someone in an email this week comparing loosing weight to loosing an accent. Having experience in both I can confidently say that they are equally hard. And interesting they both carry heavy prejudice in the workplace and in society.

Putting in loss-type effort so far this week. Gonna be a good one!

got away with it

Well, I lost .2kg Got away with it, but barely, and I am not celebrating. I'm glad I didn't throw in the towel on the whole week. That was what I was tempted to do. Starting today I am planning to have a good week of tracking, and I'm going to water aerobics tonight. Thanks Effie for your encouragement! Your accountability kept me out of the chocolate last night :)

Ps. The picture is one of my recent favourites that a friend took :)

Nervous :S

Happy Anniversary to us! 8 years hubby and me, two kids and lots of great memories together. I now weigh what I think I would have weighed around our wedding. I don't really know, I used to avoid scales like they might kill me! And my wedding dress is back in Australia so can't even try that on right now. Friend of mine was looking at our wedding pictures recently and she said I'm now smaller than I was then, but I'm not sure.

So, we went out, and I had a seafood platter that was just seafood and veggies no sign of butter and sauce on the side only, so that should have been fairly points friendly. In Australia or Canada apparently I probably could have looked up a restraunt's online menu and worked out the actual points! No such thing here of course, but like I've said many times - that is never going to be my excuse. But I know I blew it on the appetisers Chicken wings? Stupid move, and I did have garlic bread :( Bad, Bad. It gets worse -

Canadian thanksgiving was this week. I used the small plates and only filled it once. But I did have pie too. And I didn't track ANY of it!! :( No idea of the damage. Trying to not go into that "this week is totally shot might as well stuff it!" mode, just trying to pull it together and finish off the week well.

My cheaters WI this morning though did not look promising. Any chance I can fix this by monday? Not likely because this weekend's schedule doesn't look like I'm going to be able to fit in any water aerobics.

Feeling nervous. I'll post monday and let you know the damage done and decide whether it was worth it.

broke 90kg!

Did my Monday morning WI this morning. I weigh in at home because I do online only. 89.7 very happy with that!

Little sad to say goodbye to one more point a day :( Guess I'll get used to it :(

Couple months after I started WW 18months ago, my husband asked my what goal was my personal goal because the 71 set by WW was just to hard to imagine. I told him 90kg. And that's where I am this morning - and this is not the end! I can actually picture 71 now and I know I have what it takes to get there!

Somehow I know I will have to read this myself in about a week when I'm feeling discouraged again, but having felt it and wrote it here helps :)
