Small loss, but a loss none the less

I weighed in last night and lost 400g. I was fairly disappointed at first, but a loss is a loss so why am I disappointed? If I had put on I'd be devestated, so why am I complaining??

I have been filling out a graph for the last 6 weeks of my points and have found that every week except this week I had 2 days OVER my points allowance and on other days made those totals up. This week I went over ONCE and the rest of the days were quite low... could it be another case of  "I didn't eat enough"?

I don't know whether I want to test the theory by having a very high day followed by a really low day and the rest of the week just general (funnily enough that would almost be something like the wendie plan). I guess I'm scared to test it because if I put on weight I will be so upset :(

I bought a couple of tops yesterday, a new longish cardigan and two new bra's. It's amazing how good new clothes can make you feel. Pity about my attitude today, so grumpy!

Hello,

I didn't update last Thursday, but I was another 1.5kg down last week.

I am tracking along nicely, but I am concerned that this week I might pay for some bad decisions.

We went out for dinner last night, and I chose wisely. A piece of fish and mashed potato. I had half of the fish fillet and about 1/2 cup of the mashed potato... and some cucumber which was with the salad on the side. Oh, and another note.. my first PB on an outing! I was a little excited, but shitty at the same time! All good, nothing to bad :)

Dessert was a disaster... I was craving Mcdonalds soft serve so badly! We decided that it's OK to be naughty once in a while, as long as you don't do it every week! So I got an Oreo McFlurry with caramel topping... it was actually quite sickly and I wouldn't get it again, but the ice cream was so good :)

That being said, my day was so good that I didn't go over my points even though dessert was bad.

I guess maybe I'm just being paranoid? If I stick to my points I should still lose... *cross fingers*

Anywho... My pants are officially on their way out. I keep having to hitch them up.. and I can't keep doing it at work or I will get caught... That would be so embarrasing...

I will be going to the shops on Thursday to buy some in a smaller size, but I will probably just get some cheapies if I can find some. I don't want to go wasting money buying new clothes at good shops because if things keep going well then I will just grow out of them in a few months anyway. I tried opshops, but no luck yet. Maybe when I get under an 18 I will have more luck.

Aaron is off to China Wednesday night, so I have 5 days to myself.  There is a public holiday on Monday, so 3 of those days I will be off work. Might have to go and do some more op shopping!

keep on going...

Another 1kg off this week.... sweet!

Hopefully I can keep this rate up... I really hate when you get into grams etc... 1kg will do me nicely, thanks... :)

A decent update

I've been going pretty well the last couple of weeks. I had a moment there for a while where I thought that this was going to be a big failure for me. I've been down and out for a while, not really motivated... I'm still not quite back to normal... but it usually takes me a while to bring myself back up after spells like this.

I weighed in again last Thursday (very quickly, didn't stay for the meeting) and have lost another 1.2kg. Very happy. I wanted to stay for the meeting, but we were going camping at the break of dawn the next morning and I still had to go and do a few hours worth of shopping and packing.


I have been a good girl over easter. Had one or two mini solid eggs last week and over the 4 day break I only had half a Charlie the Easter Chick! (the small one)

How cute are they!

Besides that and the two chocolate mini eggs, I didn't eat much in the way of junk food. A couple of potato chips here and there, maybe a handful in total? Not even half a handful of salted cashews, a few jatz crackers with some dip and half a meat pie (I got rushed and couldnt make the breakfast I had organised, and all that was open was a stinking bakery... bah!) So I did pretty well, considering last year Easter was an excuse to eat bad and drink too much. Oh! And speaking of drink, I only had one alcoholic drink while I was away... ONE... last year? Don't even ask lol.

I really am surprised I did so well, chocolate is definitely a weakness for me... but because I write down everything I eat, every day... it's always on my mind.  You always eat more when you don't write it down.  Never believed it until I realised it myself by doing it myself.

Back in the swing of things now, it's pretty overcast and snuggly here today so I pulled out a porridge sachet from the cupboard and had that for breakfast. Creamy Honey flavour from Uncle Toby's.. yum.

Hope you all went OK over the long weekend.
