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!!!!!!!

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...
