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.

yep - lunges and squats are painful, but they can't hurt as much as that 5:30am start must!!!!!!!

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...

Not working

I don't know where to begin. I didn't even want to post. My instinct tells me that because I don't want to, it may be the best thing to do. I haven't weighed myself, but I've had a few very bad days. I went out on Friday night and drank an unknown amount of gin and tonics and then I ate almost a whole bag of kettle chips yesterday. I put on a pair of my size 12 jeans that should fit and are too tight last night. Damnit! I have a lot of cute clothes that I cant go anywhere near because of about 3 kilos. This 3 kilos is doing a lot to depress me right now. I stopped tracking my calories because I don't even know how much alcohol I consumed on Friday night and who wants to know how many calories and fat are in an entire bag of chips? Not only do I feel like shit, but I can't seem to motivate myself either. I know that the way I am feeling is not new and I will work through it, but right now it feels pretty much like a death sentence. It is not that I don...

Double your pleasure, double your fun...

Halfway through I do switch gears and talk about weight-loss once again [begin political rant] Recently I went out with one of my aussie female friends on a night where she was meeting up with a guy she had met on one of the match websites. That night I did happen to partake in a few too many drinks due to the price of one of my favorite bottled beers being only $4 compared to $7 or even $8 in some places. The man she met happened to be very nice, and I enjoyed speaking to him, but he had a friend with him who was with a female the likes of which I refer to as "granola". You know the kind. I don't like to contribute to stereotypes, but I hope the term "granola" is not in the least offensive to any of my readers. I like; it is good with some honey and milk. Anyway to get to the point the man friend and ms. granola appeared to not like me and it became increasingly clear why. With every comment I made about anything they seem to have the exact opposite opinio...
