Just for Me..................

Well ain't these the prettest thing ya ever did see!

After feeling very tired and sore walking yesterday I decided that new sneakers were needed.

I have had my current ones for nearly 18 months and I was starting to feel every stone I stood on - not good!

So this morning after my weigh in which was 110.9kg - up .400 (love how I have hidden it in this post due to the slight gain!) I decided I needed some new walking shoes stat!

I jumped onto the computer and checked out Rebel Sports and Stirling Sports and saw those beauties above!

We headed off to Rebel Sports in Manukau and they fit perfectly. I even walked around for a while in them in the store and decided why not!

So I am about to take them on there first outing - eek - hope they are ok!

My Weekend...................



Source

 

 

I had another PIGGY Weekend!!!!!!!!!!

 

Why do I do this to myself?????

 

I weighed in as normal and showed a loss of .500 grams

Yay Me

Total lost 9kgs for 2012!

 

I had decided to head out to a Farmers Market before my sons cricket game to pick up some fruit and veges. But I slept in so we were rushing around and did not have breaksfast before leaving - 1st mistake!

I then let my 9 nearly 10 year old son dictate what we would have for breakfast!

You guessed it - McDonalds

I thought thats ok i will make today my high point day no worries.

I have a BLT Bagel - yum

Finish 1 1/2 pancakes of his and drink half his chocolate thickshake - cause I didn't want to waste

the 14.00 we had spent on getting the breakfast!

After cricket he reminded me I had promised him an ice cream after the game

2nd mistake - Thinking since its my high point day - I can have one as well,

 

We then headed home got ready to go and stay at my BFF's for the weekend.

Head to the supermarket to pick up a few supplied for said son to  snack on while

staying at the BFF's.

BFF and I decided American Hotdogs and chips for dinner would be good.

3rd Mistake!

4th Mistake - me purchasing some pineapple lumps for us to nibble on while scrapbooking!

 

Once at her place I was good until dinner and ate 2 American Hotdogs and chips!

WHY!!!!!

 

Sunday did not prove to be any better

I didnt have a proper breakfast!

I went grocery shopping and decided to treat myself to some crackers

Spent the afternoon eating cheese and crackers!

And eating way to much fruit!

 

SO

 

The week is going to be spent yet again trying to reverse the damage I do in the weekend!

 

When will this girl learn!

Thoughts on the Week:

While not a good start to the week with another bad eating day and having to try and reverse the bad that I did - I think it ended well.

I didn't walk as many times as I would have liked but with being ill and the terrible weather here at the moment - I made the best of the situation.

Onto another week, which will be a good week!

Opps Gain .100gms

 

Total lost Now 6.7kg!

 

Review of the week:

Again I felt a bit on the back foot this week - but then realised it was all TTOTM related so am please it is only a .100 gram gain.

 

I also mixed it up a bit with my breakfasts and included a few more smoothies to help increase my dairy intake. Will see how that goes - not overly sure if it is a good move weight loss wise. But I know I need the dairy

Weigh In and Weekend Away Update

Well first the good news!

Weigh in on Saturday morning saw:

A Loss of 3.2 kilos!!! - Whoop Whoop

To say I am happy is an understatement

This has been a great start to my new lifestyle journey!

Now to the weekend away at my BFF's - it was great.

I got lots of organising done for my heritage album and I also completed 11 pages in the album as well.

I ate well and stayed on track even when they were all "Oh just have a little piece, it won't hurt, blah blah blah!

I am proud of how I handled myself over the weekend - only thing I would do different - probably incorporate  some excercise - like a small walk!

But overall best weekend so far for 2012!

New Years Eve.........................



From Hope Strength Courage Tumblr

Well this morning I hopped onto the scales to see what I am weighing at the end of 2011!

It wasn't pretty!

I am up 2.8 kilos from my last weigh in which was about 2 weeks ago!

BUT

Thats ok - I have eaten well today and I have also completed one hours worth of squash!

Yay me!

I am going back to the Wendie Plan version of Weight Watchers Points

I have done this before and I lost good amounts with it.

I am going to weigh myself again tomorrow morning so I have

the starting number for 2012!

PLEASE let it be lower!

Where I am At!

Well lately life has been a bit too much for me to focus on my weight loss journey, so I have been just going thru the motions of surviving and if surviving is eating what eva then that is what I was doing.

BUT

Last week something changed in the head space and I had a great week food wise.

I am trying a hot lemon drink before all meals and also having fruit for breakfast and morning snacks.

This helped me loose 2.2kgs last week - woohoo!

This has really given me a good start for the journey and I am feeling back in control!

I have also been having lots of salads for dinner and not snacking in the evenings.

Now to get the enthusiasm to walk to work four days a week again.

I am also enjoying the Woman in Squash course and am seriously thinking about joining for the remainder of there year which will cost about $60.00 for 3 three months so not to bad as I will also get a racquet with the joining up.

I really want to get down at least another 5 kilos by 14 January as we are having family photos for my grandmothers 90th birthday, which is in about 7 weeks so I think that is totally doable!

Whats the Weigh Day?

Starting Weight: 115.6 – 21.05.11

Last Weeks Weight:111.1

Weigh In this Week:

Loss this week:-.

Total loss so Far:4.5kg

Thoughts on the week that’s been:

This has not been the best week for me – I am feeling quite stressed at the moment and it is reflective in my foods choices and lack of exercise!

NSV:  - Nothing to note this week L

Food wise:  - Not the best choices this week

Exercise Wise:  Well I will confess I have not been on that dreaded exercise bike! – I need to sort this out asap!

Mind Wise: This had been terrible this week but I am hoping that a meeting on Tuesday will alleviate some of the stress for me to be able to concentrate on me and my weight loss journey.

The week ahead: I will be trying my very very hardest to have a great week this week – I do have a 1 year old birthday party tomorrow so that will be interesting  as I love me some party food!

The working week will be controlled as normal – just stay away from the snack box Lisa!

Whats the Weigh?

Starting Weight: 115.6 – 21.05.11

Last Weeks Weight:111.8

Weigh In this Week:111.1

Loss this week:-.700

Total loss so Far:4.5kg

Thoughts on the week that’s been:
Well as I guessed TTOTM arrived on Sunday afternoon, so it was good to know that the gain was not food related!
The first part of the week wasn’t overly the best but I managed to reign it in quickly

NSV: Not snacking on Wednesday and Thursday night!

Food wise: Monday saw a little set back with a co-workers birthday morning tea and Tuesday has a few hiccups but the rest of the week was excellent!

Exercise Wise: I walked to work on Thursday and Friday
I have also given myself a talking to regarding the stationery bike I have at home that I borrowed from a friend. (that I find really hard even on the lowest resistance) that I will get on it each day in the month of July and if at the end of July I am still not getting better/enjoying it – then I can return it to its owner!

Mind Wise: I have a few things going on in my life at the moment that I do not have a lot of control over but cause me a lot of stress, I am trying to get it all sorted but it is taking a while and the longer it goes on the more stressed I get –so I really need to sort it out asap!

The week ahead:
Saturday (02.07.11)  is a very busy day and begins in the am right thru to the evening!
But the remainder of the week is just the same old same old.

Whats the Weigh Day?

Starting Weight: 115.6 – 21.05.11

Last Weeks Weight:111.7

Weigh In this Week:111.8

Loss this week:Gain .100

Total loss so Far:3.0kg

Thoughts on the week that’s been:

I had to mix the Wendie Plan up a bit this week due to a little binge on Sunday, which did throw me a little.

NSV:  I so wanted croissants on Sunday for lunch but I resisted and had a yummy subway sandwich instead!

Food wise:  The week started off  a bit bad – Sunday involved a little binge and Monday evening wasn’t the best either – I am so hungry when I get home and if dinner isn’t nearly ready (hubby is a stay at home dad!) – I tend to craze! which is not good!

The rest of the week was a bit hit and miss as well – I think the lead up to TTOTM hasn’t helped along with a few extra stresses this week

Exercise Wise:  I was only able to walk to work on Tuesday – the weather has not been the best in NZ lately!

Mind Wise: I realised that the little binge on Sunday was due to boredom and not being motivated to do anything – What I need to do now is accept that this is something that I need to work on especially when I am in the house alone!

The week ahead:

I really want to work on getting myself motivated in the evenings to complete some tasks that I have set myself, so I will be looking at ways to motivate me to complete them!

Its not that they are big tasks its just I can’t get muster the energy or enthusiasm to get started, but when I do it energises me to do more and feel like I have accomplished something! – Weird I know!

I also need to reign myself in with my eating and sticking to the points cycling! – I will spend some time later today sorting out a menu for the week.

Whats The Weigh Day...............................

Starting Weight: 115.6 – 21.05.11

Last Weeks Weight:112.5

Weigh In this Week:111.7

Loss this week:-.800

Total loss so Far:3.9kg

Thoughts on the week that’s been:
I continued using the Wendie Plan formula again this week and it has gone well,
NSV: – I was given a Freddo Frog on Friday and it sat on my desk till Tuesday when I used it as part of my +10 day!
I also did the family shopping and did not buy any chocolate bars for a snack!

Food wise: - I am loving my corn thins with banana for my mid morning snack, but I feel that it needs something else with it – so will experiment with that a bit.
I really struggled , funny as it sounds, to eat the 31 points on my high day – I believe this was mainly due to have low point filling foods through out the day (oh the dramas of a weight loss diva!) which is good and bad!

Exercise Wise: - No walking on Tuesday due to a last minute change of plans for hubby. But I have started teams training and my burlesque class which is working the muscles and builds up a sweat!
I did manage to walk on Thursday and Friday so that was good, it helped ease the soreness in my thighs from the burlesque class on Monday night.

Mind Wise: - I am still feeling focussed and with changing up my food intake it will help as well – I am still in the process of decluttering my house and loading up trademe auctions so I am being kept busy there!

The week ahead:
Well the soccer tournament got cancelled again – so the weekend was quiet – the working week – brings nothing different so onwards and downwards!

Whats the Weigh Day........................

Image my own

Starting Weight: 115.6 – 21.05.11

Last Weeks Weight:113.7
Weigh In this Week:112.5
Loss this week:-1.2
Total loss so Far:3.1kg

Thoughts on the week that’s been:
I have restarted the Wendie Plan this week and am using the following formula:

Saturday: + 1
Sunday: - 2
Monday: - 4
Tuesday: + 10
Wednesday: Normal 21 points
Thursday: - 1
Friday: - 4

Food wise: - Great choices with lots of variety – I am trying not to have too much processed food for my snacks, so lots of fruit has been consumed, but I have been getting Chuppa Chup lollipops for a sweet snack in the evenings and at 1 point each it is a good choice for me at this stage.
Lunches have been salad or chicken soup or sushi.

Exercise Wise: - I was only able to walk to work one day this week, so I would like to increase that next week, - the goal is to get up to three days walking. I also had my dance class on Tuesday and starting next week I will have two additional dance classes each week.

Mind Wise: - My thinking this week has been great and I have not been wanting to overeat at all, I think this has been helped by keeping myself busy in the evenings with my decluttering project. I even got out all the plastic bags on Thursday night from the cupboard that were just stuffed in it and folded them all nicely into triangles and placed them into a container so that they are all sorted.

I am especially proud of myself for not indulging in the work birthday morning tea on Wednesday.


The week ahead: We have a soccer tournament on Sunday so I will plan ahead for that to make sure I have a good lunch and snacks, otherwise just a normal week for me.

Weekly Weigh In Results!

Starting Weight: 112.0

Last Weeks Weight: 109.7

Todays Weight: 108.8

Loss this week:.900gm

Review of the week:

The week started off a bit bad – we attended a combined 40^th and I got a little happy shall we say!

So food choices weren’t the best for the weekend!

But the week saw me back on track and my snacking is getting under control and overall I think I am getting abck into the groove of this new lifestyle slowly and surely!

Focus for next week:

I really want to knock this mindless snacking on the head and since I have some crafts to do, this hopefully will help towards it.

I need to get a bike ride in this week – the second duathalon is getting closer very quickly!

Weigh In Results

Last Weeks Weight: 109.8

Todays Weight: 109.7

Loss this week:.100 grams

Review of the week:

Overall the week has been good but with TTOTM arriving towards the end of it - my resolve was weakened slightly.
I only managed to walk 3 days this week and not all food choices have been the the best option.
So to have recorded a loss of any sorts is good!

But onwards to another week and lessons to learn from the last week will be taken aboard and dealt with!

The upcoming week sees my stress levels rising as my big big boss from Australia is here on Thursday and I am not sure what she is going to be reviewing, so I am making sure all my work is up to date and I know what is happening with all my debtors!

I am also changing things up in my "purchased" meals on Tuesday night and Wednesdays -as I have a few bills to pay this month I decided to not eat out - so no sushi or subway this month for me :(
It will be interesting and I will have to make sure I am prepared with additional salad items for the week.

What are your favourite lunch time meals?

Weekly Weigh In

Starting Weight (Monday 21.2.10)     112.00kg (eek)

I am so happy with result, it goes to show what a little bit of excercise and good healthy living can do!

Week Recap

After the weekend away and the releasing of the old me - I weighed in on Monday and had a fresh starting point for the journey!

Overall the week went well - I made great food choices  with very very minimal snacking (big thing for me!)
I walked/trained to work three days this week
I completed an 8km bike ride
I attended an Aqua Deep Class
Dance Class as normal

Normally I would train/walk four days but my ankle was a bit sore on Friday so I decided to rest it and drove to work!

Overall a very good first week back into it!

WOW - Really...............

Weigh in this week saw my biggest gain yet!

1.5kg! - EEK

Two things have majorly contributed to this:

1. TTOTM started within hours of my morning weigh in!
2. The rice crackers consumed the night before - when will I learn that those little suckers retain water with me like nobodys business

So what does this mean???

Well It means I am sorting my shite out this week - lots of water, lots of healthy yummy food choices and walking to work!

Which I did today! - felt good to be back walking !

On a side note - I can't seem to post from home at the moment when I create a post only the title shows up
Any suggestions to what I have done???

Weekend Update

Well I did try and update you all yesterday but for some reason the words below the heading were not showing???

So quickly!

Weigh in on Saturday saw a fantastic loss of 1.8kg!!!

Woo hoo!!!!

Going under 100 is so close!

Champs was also on Saturday and it was amazing watching all the great dancers and being in amongst them all I find it quite inspiring and makes me want to get a whole lot more serious about my dancing!

Long may that feeling last!

We didn't place in the teams event but thats ok - we had fun!

Will try and post some photos later - if I can get posts to work at home!
