hiya, well i went to weigh in tonight feeling a bit aprehensive. i have been sick most of last week and wasnt able to exercise and had been on medication etc. i had remained in my points, with a few to spare even but was still worried, that time of the month and just felt rather blah!
it was with relief and joy that i saw i had lost 800g which brings me to total 18kg loss! yay! i was so happy and one of the ladies who helps sign in new members at weight watchers came over and gave me a big hug! that really made my day. i went home after the meeting feeling so good about myself (big head i know) and it goes to show that even when we are ill and life throws some unexpected things our way, we can still stay on track, i counted all my points, as i always do, i planned as best i could for meals (was very ill couple of days, went to emergency etc with severe pain in my lower abdomen...which with all the tests they still dont know whats causing it) and i still got a loss!
i love going to my weekly meetings. i find them so motivating and its great to catch up with the other girls and see how they are going. we have a new leader and i find her so great to listen to and she is such an inspiration as she has lost alot of weight and kept it off. our old leader is still doing the morning sessions but needed an extra person for the evening weigh ins, so lynne has stepped up to the challenge and she is brill!
im 2kg off my christmas gaol. i wanted to be 20kg lighter by then but to be honest my main aim is to be 99.9kg by new year....ohhh i cant wait to be under 100kilos! im telling ya i will be doing the happy dance then! haha
im making a new recipe for dinner tomorrow night, its not a weight watchers one but i have worked out the points etc, it sounds delicious and im up for the challenge of cooking something different. we cant get stuck in the rut of eating the same foods all the time, we have to mix it up a bit to get all the diff vitamins and stuff for our bodies...gotta keep our bodies or there toes!
i will post the recipe if its a nice meal! i hope it gets my 2yr olds approval!
ohhhh its getting late and i do need my beauty sleep. night all.

feeling totally crappers!
woke up this morning feeling totaly rubbish. my throat feels all dry and irritated and i have a runny nose. im not happy! i feel as though i could sleep all day, but cant as i have a 2year old. he is asleep right now, if i was smart i should have layed down with him for a nap...but since im not smart, i didnt, instead im on the net writing this!
did my grocery shopping today, is it just me or are things getting more expensive? i spent $230 and my trolley wasnt even full! scary. nappies are included in this, im gunna have to start toilet training my little man soon so at least thats one cost that will get cut down.
my best friend invited me over for a cuppa yesturday so instead of driving, which i usually do, i thought i would walk. it only takes 20mins to walk there (with my slow walking) but there are a couple of hills..i hate hills! but i went and huffed and puffed up the hills but felt so much better for doing it...i used that as my daily walk. her daughters got such a shock when they came inside and saw me there, they were like, wheres the car? shammah had fallen asleep so we kept him in the pram and just left him in the hallway, he slept for ages...the poor girls were waiting so patiently for him to wake up!
im walking alot more now, i cant belive it but im actually enjoying it, i sometimes have to motivate myself to get off my butt and go but once i do i love it. i think shammah enjoys it too, he is in the pram but the fresh air and change of scenery is good for him.
my weight loss is also going well, im loosing weight at a steady pace and so far havnt put any on. i have days where i feel so tempted and have had a couple of things i shouldnt but im always honest with myself and write the points down, i think its so good to keep a food diary and count all the points, i really thank weight watchers so much for the tools they equip us with to loose weight. i was so totaly clueless befor but now i know more about portion size and oils and eating a varied diet and not all the greasy crappy stuff i used to eat. i think the exercise has really helped alot too, now that im walking consistantly its getting easier and i can walk a bit further and push myself a little hard (such as the hills!)
i love how you can fill yourself up with good food, and you dont have to eat so much till u can hardly move...it makes me feel so horrible when doing that now, i always try and remember to eat till im satisfied,not full! but as i said befor, i do have days when i wanna eat crap and have given in to temptation but its not often and i dont totally blow out...i have changed so much compared to how i used to be, like say i might have decided to go on a diet but then i would eat some bbq samboys, well instead of leaving it at that i would then have chocolate, kfc or fish and chips and fizzy and the list goes on and on...now i have been tempted and have eaten a piece of cheesecake or some hot chips but not too much and havnt thought "stuff the diet", i have written the food down, counted the points and learnt from my mistakes, it really makes you think and evalute why we do the things we do. its so good to feel more in control.
this weight loss journey is gunna be a long one but its soooo worth it.
shammah is awake now, better go and tend to my motherly duties! :)
