Unofficial Weigh-in April 16th

I am not going to my WW meeting today mainly because I haven't lost any weight this week, and I feel like the bottom of an ash tray with a extra large headache to boot. I stink of cigarette smoke from going out last night, and no I don't smoke. Let me tell ya, that is the worst thing about going out for a dance. Gives me a bad headache as well.

I did weigh myself on my scale and it is approximately the same as last week, give or take a few 100 grams. So I'm calling it even.

I actually did up my exercise this week by about 30% so I don't know what happened on the scale. I seriously did not fathom that what I ate last weekend was enough to keep me from losing, but I guess those mysterious points (that is what happens when you don't track them) added up to a hell of a lot more than I thought.

So how is this getting me any closer to my goal? Good question.

Things have simply got to change this week.

I think inside my head I've relaxed, not just a little bit, but a lot. I've gotten really complacent about everything, not just exercise. I'm starting to feel really good in my skin, and the drive is just not there.

I look in the mirror and I actually feel pretty damn good. Well, you know there is the few times that I feel like the thighs could use a good toning and I could stand to drop a few inches here and there, but overall I feel satisfied with my weight.

All this means is that I need to readjust my thinking. I set this WW goal for a reason, and if I don't reach it I can't be The Slimmer of The Year, so things need to change this week.

I need to get back some ambition. I thought I had a hold of it, but last week I think I was just so damn happy to be 67 kilos that I acted like a person who doesn't have to watch what they eat.

I can't let that happen. I have to see this thing through. I made a commitment to myself that this time I would reach my goal and stay there.

So watch this space for renovations this week, because we're cranking it up a notch.

I've spent a lot of hours in the gym over the past 5 years and I just want to encourage you to keep going. Your reason for seeing little to no change could be continued muscle growth as you ramp up your exercise effort and that good thing seeing as muscles like to burn calories. My hope is you don't focus too much on that weight number, having trained friends who were on the heavier side I know the numbers eventualy stop goind down on the scale but their waiste lines and definition continue to get better. They say diet is 70% of your effort out there so I'd say check out on the inter-ma-net articles written by John Berardi for a deeper understanding of how foods work with your body, I am not suggesting giving up WW, but knowing is half the battle! ;)

Thanks for sharing..

Cheers

One thing to keep in mind is how easy it is for the body to temporarily retain water. I am allergic (yes, outright allergic, with sneezing and watery eyes) to smoke, so if I do get roped into a bar trip, I usually come home with a puffy face, watering eyes, irritated skin. Top that off with standing around all night, and I'm retaining water like a madwoman.

Fortunately, clean living for a couple of days (and perhaps some allergy medicine) usually makes it go away.

So, if you're breaking even on the scale and this is indeed the culprit, you might get a nice surprise next week!

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...

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 ...

Butterflies

As some of you may know I love butterflies. I've always liked them, but the fact that the butterfly was once a caterpillar is the most amazing things about them. Right now I feel like a butterfly that has finally been freed from its cocoon. This weekend I gave away another huge load of clothes that don't fit me anymore and I have several bags just waiting to be dropped off at the donation centre. It feels incredible to put on a pair of jeans that once fit snug and now be able to pull them off without unbuttoning them. I've been lucky over the past week in my search for smaller, fashionable clothes at my local Goodwill and Salvation Army. I've found some really good deals and even have a few designer brands, and all are size Au-10, most have even already been altered for someone as short as me, which is an added bonus. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I think there is no way I fit into a size 10 anything, let alone pants. It is surreal. I have been thinkin...
