DIRTY DANCING

Well I have my next weigh in tomorrow morning and I so want to get to my 10kg goal, as I did'nt get there last week.

I am going with a heap of friends on Saturday night to see Dirty Dancing. We brought the tickets in May and I am SSSOOOOOOOOOOO excited. I would enjoy my night even more with the feeling of having got to goal. Not sure how I will go as it is TTOTM and I can tell from my rings that I am holding a bit of fluid. I have walked 5 times this week and done a lot of housework, cleaning etc to keep me on the move and to help with the bonus points.

Well until tomorrow when my fate will have been decided..............................

MY PANTS ARE FALLING DOWN !!!

Well the reason I started WW was because my belt wouldn't fit me anymore.

OH MY GOD !!! HOW EMBARRASSING !!!

I remember telling my (usually supportive) husband this, and later in the day he came out wearing it - and I was so upset. I thought how could this happen?

I had really let myself go - thats how. I now wear that belt on the fourth hole, and there is plenty more where that came from........

I have recently been recalling MY LIFE PRIOR TO WW and what made me get to the weight I am. I have always blamed it on the pregnancies, which is probably not entirely true, and now is the time to confess.

I think it has a big part to do with the food I CHOSE TO PUT IN MY MOUTH.

LIKE:
-6 pc tasty cheese on toast straight after dinner.
-2 Large pizzas for me and the kids - so I'd have leftovers the next day.
-Buying a pie & sausage roll at the bakery and scoffing them in the car.
-Eating the same size meals as my husband every night for tea
-AND HAVING SECONDS / LEFTOVERS.
YOU CAN USE YOUR IMAGINATION ON THE REST.

Anyway I feel a lot better now that I have confessed my deepest, darkest sins.

P.S. My husband even knows how much I weigh now.
I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE !@?*!

WEEK 8 SUCCESS - 1.0 KG

Well I am really happy with my loss today after what has been a long week.

My son Bailey has had Gastro for the past 6 days, and it hasn't been much fun. I hadnt walked at all up until yesterday and then I walked for 1 hour in the morning and then with a friend in the evening for 1 hour 15min to try and make up for it. It made me feel great - I really needed it.

Also stayed for the ww meeting today (havn't been to actual meeting for 2 weeks) so that was good and gave me lots of useful ideas as usual. I received a food achievement Bravo star, as I felt very proud of myself during the week when I started chewing my sons leftover doghnut and then realised what I was doing and spat it in the bin.

YOU GO GIRL!!! It made me feel fabulous.

WILL HAVE A GOOD WEEK AS I WANT TO TRY AND GET TO MY FIRST 10 KG LOSS BY GOAL DATE OF NEXT THURSDAY.
WON'T BEAT MYSELF UP THOUGH IF I DON'T QUITE GET THERE.

XOXO

WEEK 7 SUCCESS - 0.4 KG

Well I am happy that I have had another loss, but can't understand why it wasn't more. I am putting it down to the fact that I have been exercising heaps, and that I now have created a little bit more muscle than I used to have.
Everyone keeps telling me that muscle weighs more than fat!!!!

Anyway I still have 2 full weeks to lose another 2.7kg to reach my 10 kg goal. If I keep at it I know I can do it.

My son Bailey has been really sick with Gastro for the past 3 days so I have been grounded on the couch with him on my lap. He whinges every time I walk into another room. Thankfully Corey will be home for the next 3 days to help out a bit and give me a bit of a break - as I am at breaking point. I am proud to say that I havent taken it out on my diet though - which is a good thing.

Anyway heres to that next 2.7 kg coming off!!!!

MY THOUGHTS

Okay well thought I would let you know how I have been going.

I thought not too bad, but that isn't what the scales are saying.

I weigh myself every morning - without fail! I know your not really meant to, but I can't help myself. Yesterday I walked for 1 hour in the morning and then again with Meghan for another hour late in the afternoon. Got on the scales this morning and they're not looking that good.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

Maybe I will have to have a good look at my portion sizes and try and eat a bit more fruit and vegies.

Will knuckle down for the next 2 and a bit days until weigh in on Thursday. I really don't want to ever see a + sign in my ww passport.
Not that I should beat myself up as I am still doing heaps better than before.

I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WEEK 6 SUCCESS - 0.8 KG

Well I weighed in yesterday but I went to the Cranbourne meeting at 5pm with the kids. So after only 5 and a half days I'd lost .8 kg officially. Although I had to weigh in wearing my shoes - which actually weighed .5 kg (and at Sommy we don't wear shoes when we weigh.) So I had actually probably lost 1.3kg in 5/6 days.

Really Happy, except then I had maccas for tea and I pigged out. So now I have to work twice as hard for the rest of the week..............................
and since I am being honest.......................................................
I also ate the rest of the chocolate.

NAUGHTY ME!!!

Will have to walk every day to make up for it as I am sure Corey will be home a bit.

NO MORE EXCUSES.

WEEK 5 = 5 KG BOOKMARK - 1.3 KG

Well I went to weigh in on Thursday thinking I had lost about half a kilo after the binge drinking / eating episode last Saturday night.

To my surprise I lost 1.3 kg which got me my 1st 5 kg bookmark - with a total loss of 6.1 kg!

I FEEL FABULOUS!!!

I have really been sticking to my points although still allowing myself a few treats. Told everyone at the meeting how happy I was - although several ladies saw it on my face, as I couldn't get rid of the smile when I walked in the meeting room.

So now I am looking at my next goal. 3.9 kg to go until I have lost 10 kg.

If I stick at it - it isn't far fetched to reach my 15 kg goal by 20.9.05.

U CAN DO IT!
