Day 6 - weigh-in ~ Miracles do happen!

I am on top of the world because finally the scale is showing that this detox and the extra exercise I've been doing is finally working. Wait for it....

I weighed-in at 66 kilos!! That's a loss of 800 grams since last Saturday! Yippie!! I couldn't believe it when I woke up this morning because yesterday the scales were stuck at 67. So how did this happen?

I have some theories, but if you are squeamish when it comes to bodily functions being discussed this is the time to stop reading.

First of all this morning I awoke to my period starting, which means that all the pre-menstrual bloat would have been happening the previous few days, and I also had 2 natural bowel movements in the early hours of my morning, this I believe is due to all the extra dark green vegetables I've been eating on the detox.

The reason I said natural bowel movements is because not long ago a good cup of coffee in the morning would get me going, but now that I'm not drinking anything other than water, orgnanic teas, or water... things are starting to move due to all the fibre I'm taking in. All the toxins are finally getting cleaned out.
I have to admit I'm loving this detox.

I found some gluten and wheat free museli bars today that are full of seeds and nuts and are oh so good. They're 2 1/2 points each, but I figure with all that good stuff in it I won't want more. I bought single serving packs of cashews today as well that are a 3/12 point snack, but worth it as well.

I found it difficult to reach my points last week so this week I should be a healthy way to help me reach it. Of course I still need to eat the same amount of veggies, which shouldn't be too hard. I may add the cashews to veggie stir fries just too spice it up some.

So there you have it. Just 3 kilos left go to go and baby nothing is going to stand in my way!

Congrats! You go girl!!!
Hi! The veggies would certainly have helped with the bowel movements, but I find it's the period starting that seems to really push things along. Both the uterus and the bowel wall are made of smooth muscle and they seem to work in tandem at times. Isn't biology fun? Good work on the detox!

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...
