Here i am again

 I've had a bit over a week "off". Since last weekend where we had the latin fiesta (which was awesome mind you) i have hurt my back and have needed 3 days off work also, haven't been sble to exercise and chose to eat extremely poorly. I've decided to go back to what origionally worked for me, what i know... Weight watchers, i need to weigh in in front of someone, to have that accountability and to know someone else will see this number!! 

I'm nervous about starting from scratch again but excited as i know this has worked very well for me in the past. I am really mad at letting myself get to this point again and have to wear one of my "fat" dresses to the ball again (last year i wore a beautiful new sexy number that i brought which was a size 12! It wouldnt even come near fitting me atm) i want that back!!!

Not a good day

Not a good day again today, fighting with a good friend... I went and bought ciggerettes :( and grabbed a salad from sumo salads, it wasnt great so im not eating it. Not particually hungry either, i just grabbed a skim hot choc instead... We'll see how the rest of the day goes but im feeling pretty dreary atm

Tricky day

Today was a trickey one for me. My team leader is moving states (hi Jess if your reading!) so the work "family" decided on KFC for lunch - i declined but it smelled pretty good! Then there was cake so i did have a very small slice

then checked the calories and at 150 cal's i really should've said no, then farewell drinks - I stuck to 2 vodka, soda and limes (my go to low calorie drink) then i seriously considered ordering dinner from the german cafe we were at though i know it would've been packed full of calories so decided on a tray of mini tuna sushi instead only 170 cal's. I did have a break from the gym however I'm going to salsa tonight so still getting in a bit of exercise and giving the legs a bit of a break. So all in all I'd say today was a success, i dropped my calories to 1200 and still have 170 that need to be eaten before the days out! 

Oopsie

just realised i had my calorie counter set to lose 1/2 kg per week so i was on an extra 180cal a day! Ive changed it to lose 1kg a week so have now dropped down to 1200 cals. No wonder i kept having so many calories left over

Healthy dinners

This was delish! Baked cornflake and cheese crumbed snitzel with balsamic tomato salad (we were having vegies with it but there was a slight incident with them burning whilst I was working) 

I still have to eat 200 cals to make it to my minimum, not so sure what to have

A proud day

Super proud of myself today! I'm on late shift today so last night i thought i might go do the river walk in the morning. Waking up this morning i re thought the decision and decided to get back into bed instead, after laying back in bed for a couple of minutes, i thought to myself "really? Are you that lazy?" So i got back up threw on my workout gear and headed off to the river. 

The river walk is 7k's. I ran/walked it (alternating running .5k and walking .5k or so) it took me 1hr 3mins, I'm just so proud of myself making the decision to not be lazy and improve my life. 

Makes me in awe of the 2013 me who used to run the entire 7k, in 41mins! It reminded me if how hard i worked to get there. I have to keep reminding myself that i had to start somewhere back then and when i did i couldn't even run 250m and i was carrying about 7kgs less back then too! So i need to go easy on myself, it's not going to happen overnight but it will happen!

JUST BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF SUZIE!

Today was a good day

Today was a good day, was tired but went for a 20 min run in the gym and was under my calorie plan for the day. 

Made this delish "de constructed burger" for dinner no bread and added a little beetroot dip i made out of greek yoghurt and light sour cream
