This is not an excuse

I got up and went for a walk before breakfast. This is my plan. Everyday I will at least walk twice, once in the morning and once in the evening. My walk was very short this morning because I have pain in my neck and shoulders. I don't want to be a big baby, but it really has been uncomfortable lately. I don't know why, but I hope that it doesn't mean that I've done something wrong. Hopefully it is just because I was out on the weekend and didn't rest enough.

At least I got out of the house and walked. For that I can say I accomplished something.

Tonight I am making a sweet chili prawn asian salad. I hope it is yummy. I bought a pre-made marinade because every recipe I have found calls for one and I am too lazy to buy all the ingredients. Cooking gourmet low fat meals for 2 people is really hard when you are on a budget and don't want a lot of waste or leftovers. I as planning on making the low-fat quiche on Tuesday but we are having dinner with mr ralph's mum so we can get up early on Wednesday at her place and watch the US election. The quiche is crustless, but I think it will be very tasty and will be good to have around for those days when I want a quick lunch that doesn't take long to prepare.

It is almost lunch-time now.

All it takes is determination

I got my butt up this morning and did a 20-minute walk/jog, and it was still DARK outside. You proud of me?? Sure you are! I didn't do so well with my eating on the weekend, but this is not going to stand in my way. I know that in order to push through and lose more than what I've been averaging since Christmas (500-800 grams a week) I have got to stick to the Wendie Plan for the rest of this week and to my new lower points intake of 18 a day as well as exercise . I said the dreaded word, but it is true. I can do this. I have decided that there will be no excuses. I will apply to be this year's WW Slimmer of The Year. I can't let anything stand in my way. Thanks to all of you for getting behind me with this. Your support is so crucial because I am feeling high and on top of the world right now, but I know there will be days that I will feel like giving up the fight when I will start thinking it is just to hard and I know I will be going back and reading all your w...

Weigh-in March 5th

I weighed in at 68.1, and was amazed to discover that I lost 800 grams this week. I've only got just over 5 kilos left to lose before I reach my goal. Like WOW. I mean wow. I am pinching myself. Can you believe this? A weight loss 2 weeks in a row?!?! I mean jeez, imagine what I could do if I got my butt up off the couch and started exercising. I think I owe it all to the Wendie Plan, which by the way I told all my fellow weight watcher' members about today. I tried to tell them anyway, but I couldn't say a whole lot because our leader likes to hog all the air time. It is weird. I've never felt so shut down in a place where we should all be sharing our ideas with each other. Isn't it a support group, not a one-woman-show? Plus she is boring and only talks about the same thing over and over again. I've heard enough about low GI foods, exercising, how her daughter is a dancer, and how good it is to eat protein for breakfast. I would try out a different ...

Starting over

Hmm. Starting over is never easy. I'm on a new journey this time. I want to do this for different reasons. I want to do it for me. This week has been an okay one food wise, but I haven't been walking. I have had to suffer rain, but we needed it so it is hard to be mad about it. I know I may have lost a tiny bit of weight, but probably not much. Will weigh myself tomorrow. I had a few too many drinks still. BUT I swear I am trying! It is hard right now. I want to go to the doctor and request some weight-loss drugs. I don't think my doctor will give me them, and I know it is a weak way out, but I want the help. So don't judge me! Thanks so much for the support lately. Even the few of you who still check to see if I am around, your words mean a lot to me.
