The Grumpuss Continues

Yesterday was the worst day ever, or at least so far this month. Because we have a holiday today, the calls at work were increasingly harder to deal with. Everyone had an emergency. Everyone. And one woman refused to hang up until I put a team leader on the line, to tell her exactly what I was telling her. I think they get it into their head if they ask for a leader they are going to get what they want. But it is simply not true. My team leader has no authority to give them anything. It almost makes me want to laugh, except it is my stats running up as she rambled on and on forever.

*sigh*

And, to top it off My Aunt Flow came a visiting. Do we know who Aunt Flow is? Well, have a think about it for a second.

So of course I have the worst cramps, and we decided to go see a movie last night before dinner. By the time we ate dinner I would have eaten anything and the good old mr. ralph suggested we pick up hot chips to go with our grilled (healthy!) fish.

I caved in and said yes.

The day wasn't a total loss. I ate very well for most of the day. If I hadn't stuffed up on the weekend the hot chips wouldn't have been that big of a deal. At least by the time my weigh-in comes I shouldn't have the bloated, retaining water thing going on anymore. We can hope. Right now water is my friend.

Now today we are going over to one of mr. ralph's friend's and there will be snacks floating about. I did buy some healthy rice crackers, but I will need to practice a lot of willpower. I am a snacks girl for sure.

Cheese, yes please! Nuts, give me some more! Chips, ohhh salt! And let us not forget: beer.

I need all the help I can get.

Lately I have not done a damn bit of exercise. I keep saying I will, especially after reading sites like Kimba's where she is doing so well and even running, but alas I keep coming up with excuses.

My neck hurts, its hot, or now I am having cramps. Give me a break. I am just a lazy-arse. I need to get myself moving if I want to see bigger weightlosses than just 300-400 grams per week. I know it is true, but it is not clicking in my head.

It is like when they say, you liev with a chick and you fall into cycle. anyhow, i am a snacks chick too! Can't go to anymore drinks and snacks things - i don;t have that much resistence. I have started to turn up late and enter with a, "Oh no! there's nothing left!" I signed up for a gym now and when i think of the money i just can't not go, no matter how lazy i am feeling!

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 ...

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...

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...
