Exactly Half Way

Wow, I only just realised now when I updated my ticker, that I'm exactly half way to being at goal. There's no way I'm going to get there by my sister's wedding in October, but I'll be happy if I can drop 5kg by then. And to be at goal by my 40th birthday in January would be wonderful, so there's another goal to keep me going. :)

Last week I think I stayed the same, but this week had a good loss of 1.2kg, making me an 80's girl!!! :D

A slight gain...

After an okay week I had a gain of 200g this week (monday weighed in).

I was pretty good with my food throughout the week, but had a few social gatherings that left me snacking more than I should. Lower fat choices, but still snacking nonetheless.

So far so good this week, with exercise happening every day except for today as I was out for the day.

I got my DS to take a progress photo of me tonight.

So comparing with one of my bigger photos from December last year around the 104kg mark.





And tonight at 90 something kilos. :)

Woo Hoo!!!

2.5kg down for the week!!!!! :D

I guess technically only half of that is new weight lost, but heck I'm as happy as a pig in mud.

All in all I've had a pretty good week. I've eaten right and exercised on most days. The days I didn't exercise, the next day I've then done a longer walk to make up for it.

I think I've done pretty well especially seeing as I also have AF. I know I know TMI, but it all makes a difference.

So this week I shall continue on the same way. It's a public holiday here and looking pretty dismal, so I'll try to get half an hour on the treadmill in between breaking up fights between the boys. Aaarrgggh!!

Update

I thought it was about time I updated my blog with my progress for the week.

Things are going good. :) I've managed to exercise every day except for yesterday, unless you count walking around doing the grocery shopping. LOL This morning I went for an hours walk to the shops and back, so that should make up for yesterday.

While there I bought the new Weight Watchers magazine and a few things for lunch. I made toasted turkish pide with avocado, spinach & rocket, 97% fat free ham, and a poached egg. It was very nice. :)

A slight hiccup ......

It seems my weight loss efforts have suffered a slight hiccup. It started when DH went away on a work trip about 2 weeks ago. I decided on the Thursday night that I would treat the boys to KFC on the way home from guitar practice. Bearing in mind that I had not eaten any KFC since at least January, and not at all while I had been losing weight.

I shall add here that KFC is my fast food drug of choice. And it behaved exactly like a drug. Saturday night my eldest had gone to see the bull riding with a mate, middle child was at his mate's for a sleepover, so it was just youngest son & myself at home. He got McDonalds and I had Brodie's chicken burger & chips. This led into Sunday's bad eating of pizza for dinner, which then snowballed into Monday's KFC for lunch.

To say I was disgusted with myself is an understatement. To resist KFC for so long and then have it launch me onto the road to takeaway hell. :( I know ultimately it was up to me, but hell I enjoyed it.

And now I pay the price, as of course I did not exercise during this week from hell and consequently have gained exactly 2kg since my last weigh in on the 22 May.

So here's to a new start. And time to exercise .............

:)

Early weigh in.

I decided to weigh in a couple of days early this week. Mainly because I am going out tonight and will be having a few drinks and more than likely eating too much. But also seeing as I didn't weigh last week, I wanted to see the results from this week. :)

Very happy overall with a 1kg loss for the week, or 2 weeks if you take into account me not weighing in last week due to AF.

I didn't exercise every day, I skipped Thursday & Friday, but plan some form of exercise today. Probably the cross trainer & treadmill I think.

Enjoy your weekend everyone. :)

Today I faffed around all morning doing the laundry, Facebook, more laundry, then made some banana bread for school lunches. By this stage I couldn't face the thought of getting on the treadmill for a mindless walk, so I ended up putting on my shoes, slapped on some sunscreen and got out in the fresh air.

I probably did about half an hours walk, with a few hills thrown in. But best of all I felt great once I got home. :)
