Too early again

I've been awakened by the evil cat. This is my 2nd Saturday in a row to be up earlier than planned. But I did go to bed relatively early because I've been rising early every day this week.

I could take advantage of this and go for a peaceful morning walk before I need to get dressed for my weight watchers meeting, but honestly I don't do that on Saturday mornings.

I also usually have a nothing goes in my mouth rule pre-weigh in on Saturday mornings, but I couldn't help myself. This morning I had to have a cup of coffee, I'm so addicted. I think I have time to uh get rid of that before I step on the scale... sorry to share so much info.

Last night, although I didn't make a great choice with dinner I am very happy to report on the amount I ate. We had pizza from this little Italian place we like and although I did eat half a bowl of chips (french fries for the Americans) I only ate 2 pieces of pizza, and they were normal sized. I didn't want anymore! My body is finally starting to tell me when it has had enough to eat, and I'm listening! I was so very impressed that I couldn't wait to write it down.

How do I feel about this morning's weigh-in? Not too bad actually. I think the french fries and the pizza together were a bad Friday night meal, and not just due to the fat content, but because of the salt. I think I may be holding a little water weight, but I hope the scale is kind to me, even if it is to put me back where I was before the small gain. I thought about drinking water way too late and should have drunk a few bottles after dinner to help flush out salt.

Christmas shopping is on my mind and I don't know what to get a few people. I'm not sure if I should be crafty and try to make things or bake, or what. We don't really have tons of money this year and I don't think they would mind getting something home-made, but the idea of baking and eating batter etc. is hard to get my head around. I may be strong, but I don't think I can do it without eating a lot of the stuff myself.

There is a bead shop just down the street and I think for my two beautiful Aussie girl friends I will go and make some nice ear-rings or necklaces (that is if her prices aren't too steep. They would love that. Plus I was thinking of buying some glasses from the Salvo shop and putting pretty pebbles and candles in them to go along with the jewellery. Shouldn't cost that much and it is thoughtful and planned out, just the type of presents I like to receive.

When we were out looking for things to buy for mr ralph's brother yesterday we saw a log of Olga Berg handbags that I love. I told mr ralph that if anyone asks him what to get for me they could get me any of those and I would love it. Any one of them would suit me.

And with that, I'll be updating again later today with the results of my weigh-in. Wish me luck!

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Life happens

I wish I could tell you guys that everything is on track and that the reason I have not been writing is because life has just been too good. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Winter is generally a crap time of year for me. I thought that this one I could get a handle on it and not have it get the best of me. I was wrong. Exercise? Who me? Eat healthy? Um no. Last night I wanted chips so mr. ralph went out at midnight and got us chips and dip and we sat in our pj's watching the England and Portugal quarter final stuffing our faces. Am I painting a pretty picture? For the most part I eat well. I do. I do not stock my house with these kinds of foods. I have learned that because I am an emotional eater, it is better if I don't. But mr. ralph is too easy. Where I won't go out and buy something at midnight, if I ask him too he will go for me. Yes, I do believe we are in a co-dependent relationship, even where food is concerned. We both eat when we feel emotional....

Unbelievable results

You may have noticed that I changed the 70 to the left to 71. I don't know how it happened, but I actually gained weight this week. What is happening to me? I don't know what is going on, but the scale did say 71 two days in a row. Yes, I am at the end of my TOM and that could contribute to some of it, but a whole kilo? I looked at my calorie count from this week and I went over 1500 only 2 days, Friday and Saturday. Although I did much better this weekend than last, I still struggled with eating more on my off days than during the week. Another reason I had a horrific week was the heat. We had 4 days of over 40C in a row. Now that is just wrong. I can't handle heat very well. I did go for a walk on Saturday and when I came home thought I was going to die from heat exhaustion. Not good at all. I almost declared this week a no-weigh week due to my TOM but have decided to take it as it comes. So I weigh 71 today. Excuse my language but that number really scares the ...
