90.0kg this morning. Thats a 2.6kg loss.
Can you believe it? I can't thats for sure, so I re-weighed myself 3 times to make sure. I'm sure it will catch up on me though as over-indulged in the Wine Department last nite. Not feeling the greatest today, so this post is short and sweet. just wanted to log my results.
I write again tonight.

Im so slack......
at updating this week aren't I?
Since Tuesday, Not a lot 'diet-wise' has been happening. Trying to stay on the track but I can't help myself picking at food constantly. Eating the kids leftovers and having a bite here and there when I'm cooking. It all adds up - I need to concentrate and kick this in the butt ASAP.
I think I have been okay this week. I slipped and haven't written what I have been eating down just sort of calculating in my head but that's no good, because its easy to forget you had those biscuits with your coffee or the bite of cheese etc etc.
MUST TRY HARDER!
I went to the Gym today, and didn't see the do-gooder there. God I hope I never see here again otherwise I will show her this piece of paper
I found this in this months edition of Women's Running. There is a whole article written up about how being overweight should not put you off or stop you from running. It was like this article was written for me, good timing alright!
AND IF YOU EVER SAY (AND ME INCLUDED) ALL I LOST THIS WEEK WAS 500GMS (HALF A KG OR 1 POUND) THIS IS WHAT 1 POUND OR 500GMS OF FAT LOOKS LIKE............
BETTER OFF THAN ON AYE. WHAT DO YOU THINK.....

Gym News again....
This is probably getting boring for you all now but went to gym again today and yesterday I posted saying I did my 5km in 37.10. Well I upped my game today and did it in 35.47! How cool is that!!!
This little celebration was tarred a little though by a 'do-gooder' woman! GGGRR, I had just got to 4km on the machine and I always dig deeper for the last km. So I am running and this new lady gets on the treadmill next to me. I know she is new to the gym. She has sparkly white trainers, and new gym gear on and I have never seen her once at the gym when I have been there. Anyhow, Im running mindng my own business, and she is waving her hands in front of me, so I have to take out my earphones - She goes, 'Are you okay there? You seem to be huffing and puffing a lot'. You know me, I totally got the hump with her, yeah I know I'm a big girl running on a treadmill but seriously If I ever thought I was doing to much - I would stop (or fall off the treadmill while it was going!!!) I said 'Ah I do this 3-4 times a week, I know my own limits!' and that was that. Put my headphones back on a few seconds later silly woman starting flapping her arms at me again - I just ingnored her. Obviously she must be a newbie, why would you disturb anyone like that twice.
I think thats why I got my best time today, she made me mad and so I just ran like the clappers to pi$$ her off!
I think, just because I am a big girl, doesnt mean I cant exercise. I could be fitter than a 65kg person who doesnt exercise. Do you know what I mean?
Anyway - Rant over, just wanted to get it off my chest.

Back from Gym
Just got back from Gym, it took a lot of persuasion to go today. I was not feeling it at all.
But I got there, and did my 5kms in 37mins 10 secs. That is my best time so I am really rapt! Im glad I went now, because I was contemplating about going swimming instead. This is great motivation for me to start the week!
I have gym again tomorrow as I cant go Wednesday so Im going to try my best to do it in under 37 mins. Even if it is 36:59!
That is all - just wanted to share my little acheivement.
I have WW meeting tonight, so looking forward to that too.
Ciao x

Sunday Weigh In
92.6kg today which is 500grams off.
Very Happy with that. i was really worried since the blowout on Thursday but I pulled in the reins Friday & Saturday and hopefully that made up for it. I can't help thinking though what my loss would have been if I had been good but it doesn't matter.
As long as I'm in the 80's for Race Day which is 2 weeks away I will be so so happy.
92.6kg now - need to get to 89.9kg. That's 2.7kg to lose 1.4kg each week. Bit optimistic but it WILL be done!
Off to a kids birthday party today so have to keep away from the food table and remember its for the kids not me!!!
Have dinner sorted for tonight - Sweet & Sour Beef Stir Fry with Basmati Rice. Can't wait for dinner already. I'm doing it from scratch so I know whats going into it and I will be able to 'point' it out.
Ah well that's it for today. Will report back tomorrow. x

Catch Up
Well, I haven't been on for a few days so I thought I better update, although nothing spectacular has happened!
Wednesday, managed to get to the Gym but I think the combination of wearing the wrong sports bra and that the air con wasn't working; I cracked.
Managed 2 kms on treadmill before giving up. Went and did the cross trainer for 15 mins before jumping on the treadmill again for another bout and managed 1km more.
I don't know what happened during these exercises or whether it was the gym or the treadmill but I have done something to my foot. The bone at the back of my foot is really sore to touch and I am sort of limping at the moment. I thought it may sort itself out before the next session but as of today (Friday) it is still sore.
Thursday, the family went for a day trip outside of London and did a trip on a Steam Train. Was an awesome day but all my resistance to be good failed. Big Time!!!
I made a sort of picnic lunch for us but we ended up at a cafe to have coffee and we ended up ordering all sorts! I ate Hot chips, a muffin, cappuccino plus I ate the picnic as well!! We ended up having a drink as well at a pub so add 2 glasses of Red wine too (was worth it tho - haven't had a drink in months!). Got home had a massive plate of Pasta which OH made so would have had loads of butter or oil and Parmesan Cheese, then I thought 'Ah well, damage is done might as well continue' So I did. I ate 2 (yes that's right not 1 but 2) desserts. OK so they were Weight Watchers Deserts but that doesn't matter, there was no need to have 2, I was so full up from the Pasta I really didn't need them. I did share them with the kids but I am pretty certain I had 90% of them. Gluttony at it's best aye.
So I woke up this morning feeling ill (not really) just thinking about what I ate yesterday that I kicked myself in the arse and started afresh!
We had gym today but my foot is still not 100% so decided to go swimming. I really enjoyed it. I did 45 minutes in the pool just doing breast stroke. I tried 2 lengths of freestyle and I was buggered!
Although it is still exercise, I didn't feel the high after doing my 5kms probably because I wasn't sweating up a storm or huffing and puffing but it's better than nothing. Better than sitting at home watching Jeremy Kyle!
So our new local Starbucks officially opened today and all week I have been looking forward to going after the Gym but when I arrived it was packed! I think everyone had the same idea as me. So I didn't bother and we came home. Ah well at least I saved myself £2.15.
So came home and had Garlic Mushrooms on toast for my lunch with a diet coke and for dinner made a home made Minestrone with Potatoes, Courgette, Carrots, Celery, Onion, Garlic, Tin of tomatoes and some herbs (Parsley & bay leaves) and with some chicken stock. It is so yum and I have made a mega pot full so hopefully should last me for lunch and dinner tomorrow.
I'm in panic mode for weigh in on Sunday because of my mega binge on Thursday.
Trying to be good, I'm off to bed in a minute and my tummy is rumbling but I will just ignore it until tomorrow morn, Im sure it will pass.
Good Nite, until tomorrow xxxx

Boring Tuesday
Today was a non event - Stayed indoors all day because the weather is not that great!
I did notice that whilst at home, I'm in the kitchen all the time just 'hovering' looking in the same cupboards 20 times like something miraculously is going to appear. I think about food more often when at home.
I have to keep myself busy so, I cranked up my music and cleared out all the cupboards in the kitchen and gave everything a good wipe over. Found about 20 containers of the chocolate Nescafe toppings that you get in the Cappuccino boxes. Anyone want them???
Gym again tomorrow and on Thursday we are all going for a day trip out of London to Tunbridge Wells which is about 1 hour south east of London. This will be testing. Think I might make some food from home to take and call it a 'picnic'. That way I won't be tempted by takeaways.
Terri, if your reading this - I'm saving myself until you get back to go to GBK. As long as we go once before you head back to NZ I will be happy!
That's it, its 12.30am and have to be up at 8am max to get myself & the kids out the door in time for the gym.
