I am still in awe of our bodies - and amazed at the changes that a few days can make in my weigh - On sat morning I weighed in at 105.8 and today it is 107.1. Now I know that I have not been 100% good with the salty food but I have not been 100% bad either yet the body is weighing 1.3 more - weird but then as mentioned TTOTM is nearly here and some people have been known to retain up to 2kgs - WOW!!! So keeping that in mind I will keep being good and my efforts will be rewarded. I follow Vic Wilsons blog (vicsloosing.blogspot.com) and she has a saying/mantra - BE COMMITTED, DO WHAT IT TAKES, HAVE WHAT YOU WANT and I think it is a good one and will try to remember it myself.
But today:
Weigh 107.1 (Down .3 from Monday Weigh in)
Excercise - 40 mins - 3 points
Water - 3 litres
Breakfast - 1 Boiled egg and 2 slices of toast - 4.5points
Lunch - Tuna salad with cheese - 4.5 points
Snacks - Apple 1 point and a glass of milk 2.5
Total up to now:12.5
Dinner was rice and veges with some beef casserole
I did have a small piece of cheese before heading out to dance class but it was within my points
All points used today!

Weekly Weigh In
Well the verdict is in and I ain't happy!!!
Weigh in was 107.4 a gain of .500 which in the big picture is not bad considering that TTOTM is around the corner and my two dinner meals in the weekend where high in salt.
I guess when you daily weigh and see the scales going down and then to have a gain it does demoralise you - and I know what you are all saying - DON"T WEIGH DAILY THEN!!!
and I know, I know but hey what can a girl do!!! (Hehehe)
Seriously I am still focused and determined to get there, this is a small bump in my journey and I know why it has happened so accept and move on!!!
So today:
Excercise - 40 minute walk - 3 points
Water - 3 litres
Breakfast - 1 egg 1.5 points (felt like a change)
Lunch - soup and toast 6pts
Snacks - Veges - 0 points
Total so far 7.5 points -
Low I know but I am going to the supermarket at lunchtime so will stock up on snack supplies.

Last night - well what can I say - something happened and I had a little munch of some mini donuts - the kids had found a $20.00 bill on the way to school with hubby so got to spend it after school and brought FOOD!!!! bad FOOD into the house - ARGH!!! overall I was good I think it was 3 mini donuts over the whole night (does that make it better than in one sitting???- NOT)
So this morning I was awake at 5.30 as you do when you DON'T have to be - so I jumped up and weighed myself and it was:
Weight 105.8 (1.1 from last weigh in)

So the plan for today:
Water - 3 litres
Excercise - 40 minutes - broken down (3 points)
Breakfast - Porridge 6 points

Two Day Update
Well - I arrived at work yesterday later than normal thanks to the lovely Auckland Traffic so was unable to create my day on here and then when I got home last night I started reading a book -bad move - nothing else gets done.
So yesterdays update - during the day was all good but no walk and then after dinner I gave in to some cheese!!! - Argh the bain of my life!!!
So today:
Walk - 40 minutes - 3pts earnt
Breakfast - Porridge - 6pts
Lunch - Thinking of subway so that is about 6-8pts need to calculate that one better before deciding as I might have sushi which is lower in points
Sushi Won - 6 points used - and it was yum!!!!
Snacks - Apple
Water - 3 litres
Dinner - Roast potatoes, pork and veges Unknown Points!!!
Weigh in 106.00 (.900 down from weigh in day)
The last two days weighs have shown lighter but I was also weighing 1/2 hour later than normal so above is more a true indication of where I am at - I am also heading towards that lovely time so will expect a small loss that will not be a true reflection of the hard work, which I need to remember so I don't get put out by what the scales say.
Anyway better get onto the day

Working it Wednesday
Well another day is upon us with all that it brings!!! - I had a great dance class last night and am feeling a bit more confident with my dancing as I am getting in control of my weigh loss journey.

Water 3 litres
Breakfast - porridge with small banana 7pts
Lunch - Ham salad - 3.5 pts
Snacks - apple/orange 1 .5 pts
No excercise as rest day

Sunday was spent at my sons soccer tournament - lots of walking with good food choices.
Result -
Weigh in 106.9 - Yup I lost 2.1kgs -
am so proud of myself for sticking to the program, drinking my water and not snacking and I got the result I deserve.
Now to continue with it for another week,!
So:
Excercise - 36 min walk - 3 points
Breakfast - porridge - 6points
Snacks - 1pt - Small apple and small kiwifruit
Lunch - Tuna salad with cheese 4points

Veges - 0
Potato - 4 points
Cheese Sauce - 3.5 points - Need it to help eat the cabbage (YUK)
