Why?

I got on the scale this morning like a complete idiot. I knew it was going to have my weight up, but I did anyway. It is so depressing that one Mexican meal and a shared dessert can do this to me. I have to remember to keep trucking on and make everyday for the rest of the week count towards my weightloss efforts and not let this blight get in my way.

I'm very proud of myself for yesterday. I walked twice for a total of 50 minutes and did the 30 aqua aerobics. I discovered that since they offer the 30 minute classes back to back you can pay once and stay for more than one. I am going to do that today. It was tiring, but not so tiring that I couldn't do an hour of it. Besides in the 2nd half hour if I need to slow down I can. People just move at their own pace.

As for the pain, it was tolerable. The pain in my chest (pectoral muscles) comes and goes. I find if I get into certain positions it doesn't bother me as much. It worries me and I really wish I had addressed it with the doctor, but I'll have to bring it up next time for sure. My guess is that the muscles haven't been used very much in the healing process and are now getting a workout.

If I keep my exercise up and my food intake at a minimal this week shouldn't be a big disaster. It is only early Tuesday morning and my weigh-in isn't until Saturday. Sometimes on weeks like this I just hope for maintenance. If I keep my weight the same I will be thrilled.

I'm doing well. I'm doing new exercise and am well-aware of my weekend problem. Now I just have to do something about fixing it before it becomes a problem towards my goal.

I've given myself the long-term goal of getting to 63 kilos by The first week in April (just after my 2nd anniversary). And I wanted to lose 5 kilos by Christmas. I don't know if that one is going to pan out, but I am still shooting for it anyway. The long-term one has me losing about a pound a week to make it and I feel that is very reasonable and achievable.

Wow. Just think that by the end of the summer I could be at my goal. I can actually see it happening. I should do a lot more visualization. I know it has helped me in the past and is good for the spirit. I wonder what size that will be. I know that I will at least be an American 10, but not sure if I will reach the Aussie 10. It is so exciting to think about all the clothes I will be able to wear. Yippie.

It's so funny to think that it's already Tuesday in Australia, when it's still Monday afternoon here in Oregon! :) I can see from your stats that you have made tremendous progress in your effort to lose weight and get healthy. CONGRATULATIONS! That is so impressive. Your post today was completely relatable to my own life. I have days that are dictated by my behavior the day before, and my attitude seems to take its cue from my mind-set...ugh, it's such a vicious cycle. Just remember how far you've come, and that the changes you've made in your life are NOT going to go away overnight. Keep up the great work! :)

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.
