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...

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...
