The last meal

In case it wasn't clear, today was my last day before I begin the 21-day detox. This is mainly because the first thing I did when I woke up was eat an Anzac biscuit and drink a cup of coffee.

I didn't spend the day eating entirely bad, but for dinner tonight I did eat a hamburger with bread and I had a few dry biscuits as an afternoon snack.

Tomorrow it is the start of a strict regimen. I don't for a second believe it will be easy. But hopefully I can pull through.

I just read in mr. ralph's men's health magazine that they don't recommend doing a detox for more than 10 days, but I've got to give it a shot. If for some reason I have to bail around the 10 day mark this is what I will cite as my excuse. *wink*

Today I also did some skipping (150 skips) and ended the day with 45 minutes of cardio under my belt for the week. Only 5 more days to go!

Tomorrow's plan is a hike up to Waterfall Gully where we went a few weeks ago. I have to drag the hubs there kicking and screaming, but it is such a good workout and it has some great sites to boot.

Hope you all had a great weekend. I'm just glad that tomorrow is Anzac Day because I don't think I could handle my first caffeine free day if it were a work day.

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...

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...

A summary of yesterday

The day started off really well because my body had somehow managed to go back to normal and I pulled out a one kilo loss for the week. I was very pleased with that, and the girls at my weight watcher's meeting had a present for me! I was soooooo surprised. I had invited them to come out for drinks with me and was pleased that they said they would come, they didn't have to buy me a present as well. But they got me a beautiful vase. I haven't photographed it yet, but it is in the plans. Friday night mr. ralph's friend that moved to Melbourne called and said he would be flying in and could come out as well to celebrate with me. It was very nice to see him. The dinner went well, except the dish I ordered was a seafood soup which consisted of seafood floating in heavy cream; not the most weight-conscious choice, but I managed to eat the seafood and bits of potato and leave the cream behind, and it took over an hour for us to get our food from when we ordered. After d...
