Weigh-in Feb 5th

I weigh-in at 70.2 kilos this week, and that is up 300 grams from my last official recorded weight.

It wasn't so bad. It did hurt a little to go back into the 70's, but I was very successful in the latter part of the week at taking off some of what I had gained.

Technically I lost 600 grams since Monday (on my scale that is), and I am very pleased with that.

I have been shopping like crazy lately, but mostly at the salvos and Goodwill. I've found great tops and a nice jean skirt that replaces the too big one I've got on sale at the consignment store. People are cleaning out their wardrobes over here like crazy, possibly because we are nearing the end of the summer season in a few weeks time and they are making room for new purchases.

I feel guilty for all the money I've been spending, but we went a few weeks there were money was so tight that I had to scrimp to buy a coffee.

I know when I'm overshopping, even though we do have the extra cash at the moment because we got our tax money, so I need to put my blinders on for a while.

I did get a new boa/scarf thing from Sportsgirl to wear next weekend on our Valentines date. I will take a picture that night so you guys can see it, and I told mr. ralph that I want a new pair of heels I've been eyeing as my Valentine present. I know it is not very romantic to tell your man exactly what to get you, but it saves him spending money on me, and then me buying them for myself.

I can finally sit down without wincing, but the pain is still pretty bad in my legs. Yesterday I know I looked funny walking because it hurt so bad. I know it is good for me though, so I will probably do them again (sigh) and keep doing them at least 3 times a week (I'm talking squats and lunges here).

We're going to the movies this afternoon and we are actually going to walk there. So, no I can't wear any of my cute shoes, but I will get a workout in on a Saturday and that has been non-existent for a few months now.

I also have purchased a little tackle box thingy to put all my beads and jewelry making stuff in. This week I've made 3 necklaces and 1 pair of earrings. I am really into it. It is not a bad hobby to have since it keeps me from snacking in front of the TV because I have my hands full, and need concentration. But, I also can't watch anything too involved on TV either...

I want to talk about the book I'm reading now, but I don't really know how to compose it yet. You see, at times I'm having an argument in my head with the writers because I'm in complete disagreement, and other times I'm nodding my head saying, "that is so true."

I will need to finish this one I think before I venture into writing about it.

if it's hurting that bad you probably need to ease off a little in the intensity. you shouldn't suffer after a workout really. tight is good but pain is less good. drink GOBS of water. it will help the muscles recover. that pain suggests little tears in the muscle. keep working out but take it a little easier.

i wish i felt good enough to go shopping for clothes. ugh. by this time in winter i feel like a moocow and don't want to wear anything but sweats.

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 ...
