Day 13 - Weigh-in ~ Any little bit counts

I can't believe I've actually made it this far, but I have. And I have taken a semi-liking to gluten and wheat free bread, but only when it is toasted in the grill. I don't allow myself it but 2-3 times a week though. Bread to me is still bread and bread equals bloat.

I wasn't very impressed with my weigh-in, but as my title says, every little bit counts. I now weigh 65.6 and lost a total of 400 grams this week.

It really isn't much since I'm trying to reach 63 by May 20th, but I have to accept that I just may not reach it by my deadline. It won't be the end of the world. I know that. I have not thrown in the towel yet though, as I still have 2 weeks to get my ass in gear.

I will fight till the very end, and even then, keep going. May 20th will come and go, but I have to live in this body forever.

Does anyone out there know if chai tea has caffeine, the kind they serve in coffee bars... I had one today with soy milk and it was so yummy. And then I worried that I couldn't have it. I liked how they use nutmeg and other spices, it is delish especially since it is finally getting cold outside. Reminds me of pumpkin pie. Mmmmm Pie.

I've already been fantasizing about what I will eat when this 21 day detox is over. Once a food lover always a food lover.

No, chai tea doesn't have caffiene and best of luck with your diet/weight loss programme.If you are superstitious, Day No. 13 might have been the one bad day :D

In via Michele's; have a great day and hope everything goes to plan till May 20th!

Hate to be a know it all, but Chai Tea could actualy have caffiene, they do sell and carry de-caf Chai Tea so perhaps you should ask. Either way its not going to be much more than 40 mg. Curious as to why you are avoiding it. If you are trying to loose weight then caffien in moderation can help elevate the bodies metabolic rate a tad?. Thank you for your comments and stopping by my blog.

cheers

Well thanks to you Mrs Ralph and also the Madison magazine I'm going to start the 21 day detox on Monday.

Any chance you could post what you've been eating for lunch and dinner.

Think I've got the general gist of it all and I've ordered the book from Amazon.uk which should be here within the week, but I'm still a bit vague on what to actually eat for meals.

And congrats on losing the weight. A loss is a loss!!

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...
