Ouch.........

I hurt everywhere, but especially in my thighs. I now recall why I hated doing lunges and squats so much in the past.

I couldn't sleep last night and right now I am so tired. I have to go back to the hell hole (work) today and am hoping that I am blessed with all the pleasant calls.

I had to laugh at myself yesterday at the Border's cash register because I bought a book titled, "When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies: Freeing Yourself From Food and Weight Obsession," along side a Self Magazine I bought specifically because the cover says something about "The New Body Type Workout".

Weight obsessed much?

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this book. You know I'll probably be blogging about my revelations before too long.

I did however get up at 5:30 today and go out for a jog/walk. I've decided not to worry about the duration in time, but to add an extra lap every few days. Right now I'm doing 4 laps and I think it takes me around 20 minutes.

My body hurts. I think I already said that.

I bought a pair of Adidas workout pants that are really tight around the bum and thighs but as I do my workout I can feel it and it motivates me. I can't wait until they're looser because then I will know my efforts have paid off. I have a pair of adidas shorts that were tight in the same place that fit now, and hopefully in a few weeks time the same will happen with these ones.

Thanks for all the compliments on the new design. As you may have noticed I get bored and like to change things from time to time.

I have my weigh-in tomorrow and am expecting to be up around 6-700 grams from my last recorded weigh-in. That is the result of 2 weeks of slacking off. Tonight though, I am going out to dinner because out-of-town family will be here. I've already decided I am ordering a warm chicken salad, and will not eat any bread or pasta. Great eh? If I'm really hungry I may eat a minestrone soup as well, we will have to wait and see.

I am planning ahead! Wow, look at me.

I hate lunges! After my first pump class a few weeks back I couldn't move for a week. Good luck for the dinner out and your weigh-in tomorrow, I'm sure it'll all be good news.

When I did my first Pump class I thought I hated squats and lunges. I seriously could hardly walk for a week and it was days before I could sit down properly. It was such a struggle to get onto the toilet! But now... OK I still don't LOVE them but I don't mind squats and lunges any more. Gasp, did I just say that?

Good on you for planning ahead, that's key for me.

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 ...
