Tuesday

Eeep it's not looking good for tomorrow's weigh in. I'll have to suck it up when the numbers read out around 70kg I suspect. I just weighed myself on the dodgy scales and i've gained weight since yesterday. With all the exercise I did (walking a whole heap) and pump - I would have thought that I would have seen a drop on the scales. On a good note. I stuck to my 16.5 points for yesterday. The day before I had 20 points. Today will be no different.

Tuesday's menu:

Breakfast: 4.5

yoghurt 1

coffee 2.5

toast 1

Morning tea: 1.5

Mandarin .5

chips 1

Lunch: 2

Pumpkin soup 2

Afternoon tea: 1.5

I'll probably end up getting a lollipop which will make it 17 points :D

Monday

Well it would be nice if I could stop sabotaging myself. If I actually stuck to my points like I planned (and my menu) I would be about a kg less than I am now.

A few months ago, I started to binge eat. Chocolate, chips, ice-cream, biscuits, yoghurt, cheese, bread... and I'm talking one sitting in the space of 30 minutes. Then i would hate myself for it, but I get these urges to eat and I just go for it.

Well I had another one on Saturday night. Pringles, Maltesers and toblerone... yes I ate all that in the space of an hour. I just sat there and ate and ate and ate... by writing this down where people can see it, I can't deny it anymore. I just don't know why I started doing this to myself. I went 6 months without any issues and now I can't even last 2 days. Why?

Yesterday I ate 2o points which is good. I wanted to eat under 20, to try and undo the damage that I had done, but I couldn't last. I needed the whole days points value. Shame really!

I need to make that first goal more attainable I think (not that 2kg isn't attainable), it's just that I need to start feeling good about myself again). I need to know that I have achieved something no matter how small it is. So I'm setting my first goal at 68.5kg. Still not a healthy weight range, but I just feel that if I can get there, I might be able to start doing this thing properly again.

Anyhow today's menu:
Breakfast: 3

Friday

It appears that my secret weapon is green cordial. It worked like a charm yesterday! I didn't feel like food after drinking it and best of all it is point free (providing I don't drink too much that is), woohooo!!

Today's menu:

Breakfast: (3.5)
yoghurt 1
coffee 2.5

Morning tea: (2.5)
chips 1
choc mousse 1
mandarin .5

Lunch: (2)
Soup 2

Afternoon tea: (.5)
Saltanas .5

Dinner - again, not sure!

So before dinner I will have eaten: 8.5 points... if I stick to it, I might just make that thai green curry. It's a good meal, but point expensive! Or even shepherdless glutenless pie... hmm I might be onto something with that last one.

Thursday

Man, already over ate by about 10 points. Why is it so hard for me to not think about food ALL-THE-TIME! So went home and pigged out again. It was healthy food luckily, but I still pigged out *sigh*.

I'm trying this new thing (again). I eat when I'm bored at work, it's like taking a break from what I'm doing. I have brought with me low joule green cordial and whenever I feel like eating, I'll get up from my desk and go make a green cordial drink. It'll be like fun at work without the calories. Eventually I'm hoping the food thoughts will die in the arse.

I've also decided to bring less food with me and hopefully that'll mean I'll snack less as well.

So today:
Breakfast (3.5)
Yoghurt 1
coffee 2.5

Morning tea (3.5)
Mandarin .5
chippies 1
caramel creme 1
Banana 1

Lunch (3)
Rice 2
veggies .5
cheese .5

Afternoon tea (1)
Saltanas .5
Hot Choc .5

Dinner (8) - a bit extravagant
rice 3.5
sauce 3
potato 1
veg .5


Before dinner 10 points. Oh god. Stick to it woman! Think green cordial!

TOTAL 19 points Woohoo! I dids it!!!
Exercise 5

Weighin week 2

*sigh* I was hoping for at least a 1kg loss, I managed 400g. I should be happy I lost anything after those few days of blow outs. Wake up call? I hope so. It's good to see that the scales have at least dropped a little. Hopefully that will be motivation to actually try. It seems so hard to stay motivated. I just want to get my BMI below 25 again. It's so close I can feel it!!!

One thing I have to keep reminding myself - High School Reunion. I want to be in a healthy weigh range because I don't think I ever was. Surely that is motivation enough? Maybe not when I'm hungry though...

So today's weigh in:

Lost: 400g

Current weight 69.3kg

To next goal: 1.8kg

To GOAL: 9.3kg

Anyhow, today's menu:

Breakfast: 2

Monday

Well I KNOW I blew my points on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I had a really good weekend (minus the food blow out). My friends - Kain and Sophie - are moving to Japan in 2 weeks time and they had a farewell party at one of the local pubs. I think 3 ciders and 2 Rodkas & 2 jam donut shots later - I was well and truely over my points... oh god and that was before we went to 24 hour Kmart and bought Toblerone and chips... the next day wasn't much better and neither was the Sunday.

But here I am, Monday, and surely I am back on track. Weighin will be on Wednesday so I would at least like to record a loss of some sort. I was hoping for 2 kg, but it looks like I'll be lucky to lose half lol. Um, in other news. I'm going to go see Marilyn Manson in October. We have to fly to Melbourne; I've never really listened to his music, but Luke is a huge fan so I think if I don't want a divorce I have to go *giggles*.

Thursday - the day of champions

Hell the last 2 days I've survived well! I've been offered cake today as it is someone's birthday at work, I said I might have a little piece, but I really think that I need longer before accepting extra things into my diet. I've only just got back on track Tuesday after all. I need at least a month. I'm glad I made that decision.

So today's menu is:
Breakfast (2):
Yoghurt 1.5
Strawberries .5

Morning tea (4.5):
Coffee 2.5
Caramel Creme 1
Carrot 0
Saltanas .5
Mandarine .5

Lunch (3):

Fromaig 1.5

Afternoon tea (1.5):
Carrot 0
Freddo 1.5

Dinner (6.5):
Corn 1.5
Mashed potato 2.5
Egg frittata 2
veggies .5
gravy 0

Movie food (0.5):
lollipop .5

Total: 18 points
Saved 2
exercise 2.5

First weigh in

Well I faced the music and weighed in. I really didn't want to. I couldn't quite believe how much I weighed: 69.7kg! That is most definitely NOT ideal. It's hard to believe that I put on so much weight. On my wedding day I was less than 63kg and that's not even 6 months ago. There are a few things I've been doing that I don't want to admit to that has attributed to this weight gain. I don't know why I was feeding my feelings, but I just couldn't seem to stop. I could eat a couple of chocolate bars in 1 sitting. Even when I weighed 75kg I didn't do that. Aaand I started binge eating, I could eat non stop for a couple of hours - I just can't do this to myself anymore. All I can say is that thank god for the gym because I imagine it would be worse otherwise.

Okay so my goals are as follows:

1. Fitting back into my clothing. Some of it is tight and some of it is unwearable! I want to get into those size 12 jeans from sports girl (I didn't buy them).
   
   
2. Be back at goal for my 10 year high school reunion in November. I don't want to be a chubber. I've always been a chubber so I need to be healthy to show all those people who were mean to me because of my weight that I can take control of my life - I know how much I like to be in control.
   
   
3. Japan! Japan! Japan! Well this is my ultimate goal. When I reach goal I am going to buy some crazy Japanese gothic attire in February (oh it'll be my birthday too and wedding anniversary - YAY).

Okay so in summary:

Current weight: 69.7kg

Goal weight: 60kg

Lost: 0kg

Next goal: - 2.2kg

GOAL: - 9.7 kg

67.5 kg I will buy myself something lovely. Oh I know, those tarot cards I have my eye on. I really want those. Right TAROT cards it is!
