Bootcamp, What bootcamp?

I've done 2 whole workouts this week. That's right, 2. One cardio workout on Monday morning, and I did some strength exercises yesterday afternoon. My husband did ask me this afternoon if I wanted to go for a walk and I turned him down.

I am miserably tired. I feel like all of my energy is sapped from me at work at the moment and I have nothing else to give.

The good news is I've kept to my eating plan for the most part and hopefully that will enable me to still have a weight loss this week.

If I don't step it up I won't be able to reach my goal by the end of March like I so badly want to do.

I've received a few comments at work about how nice I'm looking lately, but nothing would be sweeter than reaching my goal by my anniversary.

I know that when I am this tired it wouldn't really benefit my health to push myself to exercise; I know I need to be good to my body, but I wish that it wasn't this way.

I want so badly to be able to do it all.

Don't I just understand what you say! But hang in there. Take care of yourself. And you have enough stress at work, the remaining of your day should be calm and sweet so you will regroup. I have faith in you. You will pull this one!

Listen to your body, girly girl! If you're tired, scale back and wait until you're ready for a higher level of activity. You're doing just fine.

I can relate to the anxiety... there is a certain rush that comes along with each weight loss... the more the scale drops, the more in control you feel. Let me try to give you a word of advice... keep in mind I lost a ton of weight (literally) and put lots of it back on... here's why I think that happened...
I put so much emphasis on the scale and the compliments and the appearance that I didn't focus on the internal changes. The points were a daily tool and the results became my god. If I lost, I was holy... if I gained, I was a sinner. This time around I have vowed to focus on change... physical is good, but mental is better. What food choices do I make? What activity do I participate in that makes me healthy? If you can grasp the changes and take pride in your choices, you won't become depressed over the measurments. In the long run, you want to maintain your healthy lifestyle. Not everyone gains their weight back... but the most successful people changed their habits and let their bodies follow.
As always, you inspire me and I keep my positive thoughts directed your way!

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....

Weigh-in March 19th

Today I weighed-in at 67.2 kilos. That makes another remarkable loss of 600 grams. I have not had this many steady weight losses until I started my version of the Wendie Plan. Although they're not huge numbers, I can get used to this. After the unusual weightgain on Thursday morning I stopped taking Voltaren and drank like 4 litres of water on Thursday and then again on Friday. This I think helped flush all the drug out of my system, allowing the water retention to stop as well. On the Au Weight Watchers plan I am meant to be eating 20 points a day up until I weigh 65 kilos, but being just above that I have decided to try to go down to 18 points a day this week. This will make the Wendie Plan a lot harder because on the superlow point day I will only be allowed 12 points, but I think if I try it, these last 4.2 kilos will go a lot quicker. A man reached his goal weight today at my Weight Watchers meeting and I vowed (to myself of course) to be the next one at my meeting to d...
