Day 15 - Under

I'm feeling slightly under the weather. Not enough to call in sick to work (although I wish I could), but just enough to make me feel ick.

I've had a sore throat and have felt really tired. I've been wondering if a lot of my tiredness is due to a lack of iron. I haven't taken any supplements on this detox, but I think that Dr. Joshi's book actually recommends you take them. How silly am I for not even thinking about that?

Oh well. I don't feel like spending a lot of money on supplements either. I've got one more week to go.

On Friday at work someone who had their birthday on the weekend left a piece of chocolate mud cake on my desk before I could tell them no thanks, they left. I was staring at this cake so hard. You'd be proud though, I gave it to another guy that sits next to me and didn't think another thing of it.

Yesterday we took mr. ralph's mum out for Mother's Day and the desserts on the menu looked so yummy! And afterwards he and his mum both had icecream! God it was so hard, but I kept saying, one more week, one more week.

Why did I start this thing on a Monday? When I'm finished it will be a Tuesday and I never really want to eat very badly during the week. Maybe this is a good thing and will keep me from overindulging enough to gain weight.

I have been thinking about this detox and how the chick in the article claims you can loose 5 kilos from it and how I've only lost 1.2 so far. I guess if you are a junk food eater and then cut everything out cold turkey you would loose 5 kilos. But for someone like me that eats a lot of rabbit food and lean protein anyway, it takes a lot to loose 5 kilos.

Will I make it to 63 in time to apply for Slimmer of the Year? I don't know. It would take a miracle.

Congrats on passing up the cake. I don't think I would've had the same willpower.

One more week!! You can do it!

Honey, the miracle has happened already you know. You have worked so hard to loose 40 kilos that this is a miracle on its own! Think of back then, on a size 20 jeans, didnt you honestly think it would take a miracle to fit into size 10? Well my sweet becca, you have performed the miracle...YOU and noone else for you!

So what if you don't loose the rest 2.6 in two weeks? Surely it will be supergreat! I'll really open a bottle of champagne and cheer for you! But the important miracle darling? You have done this already!!!! Its just the final stardust that needs to be thrown!

One more week -- you CAN do it. I'm sure your body is fighting this, which is why you haven't seen a loss. I have complete faith in your ability to lose these last few kilos/pounds.

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 ...

All it takes is determination

I got my butt up this morning and did a 20-minute walk/jog, and it was still DARK outside. You proud of me?? Sure you are! I didn't do so well with my eating on the weekend, but this is not going to stand in my way. I know that in order to push through and lose more than what I've been averaging since Christmas (500-800 grams a week) I have got to stick to the Wendie Plan for the rest of this week and to my new lower points intake of 18 a day as well as exercise . I said the dreaded word, but it is true. I can do this. I have decided that there will be no excuses. I will apply to be this year's WW Slimmer of The Year. I can't let anything stand in my way. Thanks to all of you for getting behind me with this. Your support is so crucial because I am feeling high and on top of the world right now, but I know there will be days that I will feel like giving up the fight when I will start thinking it is just to hard and I know I will be going back and reading all your w...

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...
