Feeling Good

Straight hair 2

You won't believe what I did today. I walked from my house into the city. This took me about 1 hour 15 minutes. I had a coffee and spent about 20 minutes resting, then I walked back home. It was raining. I pushed myself so hard that my legs and feet hurt now. But in a good way. My mood is improving. Exercise is obviously very good for the mood.

The new drug seems to be doing it's job too. I don't think about food that much. This week I only ate 3 meals a day and did not snack inbetween. I ate too much yesterday though. We had chocolates at work in celebration of Easter, mr. ralph and I went to my favorite restaurant on Rundle Street after seeing V for Vendetta and I gorged. I love their food. Sigh. Then we went to this new place that serves nothing but drinks and food made from chocolate. It was yum! I had something called a chocolate espresso, that I thought would be coffee and chocolate. It wasn't. It was a thick, rich chocolatey syrup in an espresso cup. Oh God it was like sex on a spoon.

I still have not gone anywhere near a scale. But I wanted you to know I am on the up. Thanks for your thoughts. I miss all of you.

Have a happy Easter.

Good to hear you are feeling better. What a great walk.

There is a place like that chocolate shop here - Max Brenner - and it's located downstairs from my gym! Luckily it hasn't tempted me (yet).

Wow chocolate espresso :) I'm liking the sound of that. I saw V for Vendette a while back and really liked it. How did you find it?

Great job on the long walk. I always seem to feel better after a good round of exercise and kick myself for not doing it more!

Chocolate port, BTW, is a beverage from the devil. Seriously good stuff.

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...

Life happens

I wish I could tell you guys that everything is on track and that the reason I have not been writing is because life has just been too good. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Winter is generally a crap time of year for me. I thought that this one I could get a handle on it and not have it get the best of me. I was wrong. Exercise? Who me? Eat healthy? Um no. Last night I wanted chips so mr. ralph went out at midnight and got us chips and dip and we sat in our pj's watching the England and Portugal quarter final stuffing our faces. Am I painting a pretty picture? For the most part I eat well. I do. I do not stock my house with these kinds of foods. I have learned that because I am an emotional eater, it is better if I don't. But mr. ralph is too easy. Where I won't go out and buy something at midnight, if I ask him too he will go for me. Yes, I do believe we are in a co-dependent relationship, even where food is concerned. We both eat when we feel emotional....

Weigh-in March 19th

Today I weighed-in at 67.2 kilos. That makes another remarkable loss of 600 grams. I have not had this many steady weight losses until I started my version of the Wendie Plan. Although they're not huge numbers, I can get used to this. After the unusual weightgain on Thursday morning I stopped taking Voltaren and drank like 4 litres of water on Thursday and then again on Friday. This I think helped flush all the drug out of my system, allowing the water retention to stop as well. On the Au Weight Watchers plan I am meant to be eating 20 points a day up until I weigh 65 kilos, but being just above that I have decided to try to go down to 18 points a day this week. This will make the Wendie Plan a lot harder because on the superlow point day I will only be allowed 12 points, but I think if I try it, these last 4.2 kilos will go a lot quicker. A man reached his goal weight today at my Weight Watchers meeting and I vowed (to myself of course) to be the next one at my meeting to d...
