Two weeks in and I'm feeling like I'm starting to lag. I only ate over my points yesterday by .5 and I went for a 30 minute walk/jog today to make me feel better, but I just feel like I'm completely out of control with my food... even though with dinner, I'll still be well within my points - wtf? Why am I feeling this way?

I wonder if I feel like I lost lots in one week, but it wont be permenent the next week. This is stupid anxiety. Really stupid anxiety.

GRRRR

I know sticking ot my points and exercising will see me lose weight so i don't know why i am being so anxious. So annoying!!!

Weigh in ni

2nd weigh in and I lost a fuckload of weight. -1.9kg... making me 73.8kg. My first aim has been reached (74kg) and thus I can buy shoes from ultralux (how exciting!!!). I might even get that second pair that I liked so i'll have something to wear to work (that's for going over my goal - woohoo!).

I'm gonna be as sexy on the outside as I am on the inside.

.9 loss

Having a Wii Fit board as my scales makes it rather tempting to weigh myself more than once a week. I know I'm not supposed to but I just can't help it. Anyhow, I have really good news to report. I've lost nearly a kilo -.9!!! I haven't really made much of an effort either. I've lost it purely from sticking to my points and only going to the gym twice this week. On the gym front I have some very disappointing news. My favourite class used to run twice a week, but due to poor attendence it now will only happen on Wednesdays. I'm really sad to lose my Sunday class.

Anyhow I guess that's it. I'm going to try and make my weigh in on monday be a loss of over a kilo. I can't believe I weigh under 75 now. 74.8!!! That means .8 kilos until my first goal i.e shoes from ultralux. I know Luke is excited *laughs*.

So far so good

I keep reading on the forums that people seem to stick to this eating way for up to 3 weeks before going spastic and wanting to eat lots of norty foods. I really don't see that with me. At the moment I am having trouble even eating the daily points and I'm not depriving myself of anything. I have a fruit box or rice crackers or a freddo for snackies. So I don't feel like I'm missing out of a thing.

I am actually having the problem where I feel really hungry up until lunch time and then after I have lunch I'm not interested in eating anything else. I ended up eating my points mostly because I was feeling sick after the gym and so I forced myself to eat but I wasn't hungry.

I've been really good with my points since Monday. I haven't blown my budget once. I've even gone back to the gym since I now can last almost a full class (stupid cold). If I don't see a loss this week then I know to be completely disappointed because I've tried really hard and I certainly have no plans to blow it on the weekend.

I've found it easier to plan out my whole day of eating with 1-2 points spare so I know what I can eat and if I feel like some impulse food buy then I can get something small. *laughs* usually a Freddo or an orange fruit box. Seriously, if there is no loss, I might actually feel disheartened this week. I'm not interested in going out there anymore and killing myself with heaps of exercise.

*fingers crossed for weigh in on Monday*

First weigh in

My first weigh in has been a bit of a disaster. I lost .4kg during the week (as of yesterday to be honest), but i must of over indulged - actually I did in alcohol (mostly - and food), and I gained back .4... so essentially I am the same weight. Damn it! Must be more careful!!! 

Now I seem to have food under contol (minus the weekend), I need to start looking at exercise. Things I plan to do are:

1) Walking 20-25 minutes to work (Rather than the 12 minutes it takes me). Mostly this is to increase my incidential exercise during the day. On days where I am not going to the gym (Tues and Thurs) I will walk home the long way as well.

2) Go to the gym - 3 times this week.

Mon - Pump

Wed - Step, Burn and Build

Sun - Step

3) Instead of killing myself by walking a fuckload of a morning, jump in the car and go to the reserve to walk. 

Hopefully I will see a negative result. I'm so angry at myself.

Wii Fit

I decided to weigh myself on Wii Fit. Mostly because it is a more accurate scale. I hadn't been on there in 80 days and I was like hmmm I wonder what I will be... well I've lost 1.2kg in 2.5 months. At least it isn't a gain right!? And that was with me trying really hard and walking every morning for an hour and a half and going to the gym 4 times a week. Crazy stuff!

Anyhow, the difference between my scales and Wii Fit is .7 of a kg. So that's not bad - considering last time I weighed myself it was a difference of 2.5 kg.

Last night I made the weight watchers mushroom risotto and put spinach in it instead of rocket and no cheese. I made a salad to go with it and had some strawberries for dessert - I was hugely full. I ate way too much. A case of too big of eyes for my belly.

1 thing I have noticed is that I eat when I'm bored, or when I'm working to break up my day. I need to listen to when I'm hungry. At least I know that's what I need to do right. As I read today, it's all about small steps.

So my first step is to get food right. Counting the points!
2nd step to get the exercise down.
3rd step to start thinking about more filling options for food like eggs and lentils and beans. More healthy and less processed. This is what I am aiming for.

Weightloss Uno

Hi There,
No idea of anyone else but my will be reading this. For the moment it's just for me. I'll put this as my link on weight watchers and see if anyone actually checks it out.

So me... I guess I'll start with Stats since that is what people on weight watchers seem to like to do.

Height: 1.66m
Current Weight: 75kg
Goal Weight: 63kg

So that's a total loss of 12kg. I guess what I want my blog to be is a journal. I was looking on the message boards on the online weight watchers site and it made me feel like crap. Seriously CRAP! Some of the people on there seem to have a really bad relationship with food. They talk about their break out food moments as 'bad over-indulgence' - just adding to their self hate maybe? I'm as obsessive as the next person but I know that being obsessive isn't going to help ME lose weight. i think I might avoid the message boards for now... yep I make that decision after my introductory post *laughs*. Hmmm typing about this makes me feel better - more positive.

I sat down today and wrote about my goals. Rewards I guess, although I already like rewarding myself for just being me - how dorky hey. Daily stuff, I just like to put on some fragrance oil like perfume or rub moisturiser into my eczema knowing I'm giving it a good dose of loving... hmmm anyhow my short term goals are:

74kg - those shoes from Ultralux that I said I would buy at 75kg (yep I've lost 2kg on my own).
72kg - book for my motorbike license
70kg - dye my hair red.

I'm seriously considering when I reach something fabulous (something I haven't been since I was 12 - and no it isn't my goal weight but 2 kg heavier). I think I will reward myself with a f***ing expensive tattoo.

Currently, things I need to work on - exercise! I've stopped exercising because of this cold I've had for 3 weeks and I feel awful for it, but I just need to get better first. Maybe I can go for a small walk tonight instead.

Another thing I'm going to have to watch is my snacking. I've been tracking online for 2 days now and I really spend a lot of my points on snacks. So even though I'm eating healthy snacks, I need to find some point free snacks to eat.

I think the biggest challenge for me is going to be a) Exercise b) being creative with the meals that I make. I have to allow for my vegetarian, gluten-free, zucchini hating diet as well as Luke's dislike of tomato. So while I might have pasta, I'm going to have to figure out a way to feed him too. Maybe we need to have separate cooking nights!? I'm not worried about it though. So maybe my exercise aims for this week should be:

Thursday morning walk and Friday night gym. No unibar this week. Oh wells :(
