a plesent suprise

Well maybe a change of mind was what i needed! i had a sneak peak this morning on the scales and i have broken the 82kg mark was so happy! i am really trying to eat better this week having fruit for breaky which is filling enough (i just realised when i have toast it's ok to only have 1 piece i always thought you had to have 2! lol) anyhow today i am feeling really inspired to keep it up at least till friday i really want to have lost weight this week and finally make it 2 weeks in a row lol!

resisting the temptation

have done really well today with my first day at tafe, you get really hungry and kinda wanna eat in the breaks, but i had my fruit and salad packed and just had that, i resisted the temptation of chocolate, was even offerd some and said no! WOW! lol i did have a skim hot choc in the morning tho but i think 1 a week whan it's cold is okay.... back to belly dancing tonight, i'm buggered tho!

Tuesday

Did okay yesterday it was australia day and we were out but i made some better choices, got water instead of coke, and i did have an iced choc no cream tho, was hinking after tho i forgot to ask for skim milk! DAM!!! Oh well now i know better for next time. Today has gone really well i have only had a couple of nuts as a snack and it's almost 6pm and i'm fealing full and not craving food so i'm really happy for now, Isaac starts back at school tomorrow so will be interesting to c how bored i get and how that relates to what i eat! am not expecting to lose much this week but i think i'm okay with that. I did a 3km walk today and have spent 1.5 hours sweeting it out cleaning the house this avo too

Weigh in day 23/1/09

The better choices paid of... here are the stats A loss of 800g this week brings me to 84.6kg wich i'm very happy with! also took measurements, lost 1.5cm of arms, 1cm of chest, 1/2cm of waste,2cm of hips, 2cm of thigh thats a total of 7cm! woohoo am really happy with this weeks work! makes me want to try harder next week!

YAY, I DID IT... I had the salad and a diet coke all the others had chips but i was quite satisfied without had a great night and even did a little dancing at the concert looking foward (kinda) to what tomorrow brings, i have tried so hard this week if i don't lose anything i think i'll be mighty dissapointed!

take out

Thanks everyone for your encouragement!!! I'm going to a concert tonight and we are having maccas on the way but i have done my research and sourced out what has the least calories and sat fat content so i'm hoping this will work for me and i'll stick to the options i have made wich don't include chips. I'm thinking seared chicken burger with med diet coke... will c how i go, wish me luck.

water aerobics

A friend called late this avo and invited me to go to aqua aerobics with her, it was late and i was cooking dinner and i didn't have a babysitter and i was just about to use all of these excuses but instead i made myself call a babysitter, hurried to cook dinner, got ready and went. I quiet enjoyed the class so i'm really proud of myself for not making the excuses and getting of my but and doing it! on another note i am going to a concert with friends on Thursday and have just lernt we are stopping at maccas for dinner on the way, i'm a bit nervous about how this is going to effect my weigh in esp the night before, but they do have salads and stuff so i just have to keep remembering that these things will come up all the time, they are a part of life and i need to eat well not just have "that special treat" everytime. I think im going to have a look on the maccas web site for the lowest cal/fat foods then i will be prepared!

A better choice at church

I feel i did really well today especially at church compared to my normal 'feast' i chose not to eat anything that was fried and only had a small amount of the rest and a cup and a half of my chicken soup wich was very low fat. After i finished my plate i walked back up to the table and then walked away thinking "no i don't really need it" and i didn't have it, i didn't even feel like i was missing out on something wich felt great! Then at dessert i just had 1 and a incy wincy muffin (it could hardly be counted it was so small lol) and some rockmelon... so yes, very proud today!

OH NO, PIZZA!

okay so today was really hot so had the family over for a swim, someone bought cheezels and banana lollies i did have a couple butdidn't go overboard so i was okay with that. The option of having pizza was bought up and i turned it down saying i would love it but am trying to lose weight so i organized to have cold meats and salad, i had pre made it before everyone came over so it was all ready, however talk of pizza was still going round and the others really wanted it so i gave in but orderd thin crust vegetarian for me, i ended up having 3 pieces with some salad, so that was okay i guess. I try to eat something light the night before weigh in, so now i'm pretty worried lol... but hey i made better choices by ordering the thin crust, vegetarian and better choices is what i wanted, i usually would have had thick crust peperoni, very proud of my self! will see how i go tomorrow.
