Enough is Enough!

Well, I have had a week off WW just to sort my shit out. And I am back into it today. Was expecting a huge gain at today's weigh in, but surprisingly had a 200gm loss. This has given me even more incentive to get cracking with this weight loss.

We've been away for a lonnngggg weekend to Mount Gambier in S.A. which was lovely. We were going to go to Robe, but I couldn't find any available accomodation with a swimming pool. I tried my hardest to be good foodwise, and was most of the time, except where wine or champagne was involved. I have really noticed that as soon as wine passes my lips, I need something to eat, and I make the worst food choices. I have therefore decided there will be NO MORE WINE for me. This is going to be soooo very tough, because I have really become to love my glass of white in the evenings when all the kids are in bed. Will just have to have a cuppa instead.

Another area I have really fallen down in is my water consumption. I have really struggled with this, and when I think about it, it is amazing my breastmilk hasn't been affected by my lack of water intake.

Goals this week are:-

1. to drink at LEAST 8 glasses of water a day, and not have any Diet Coke until this is done!
2. get on the treadmill for a MINIMUM of 30 mins a day - NO EXCUSES!
3. track religiously every morsel of food that enters my mouth
   

It's easy really! And I think now I have made the mental decision to stay away from wine, I will find it a lot easier as I have really struggled with my evenings.

This is a photo taken in Mount Gambier. I will usually not let any photos be taken of me, but I have kept it to remind me of what I do NOT want to look like. I'm also going to stick a copy of it on the fridge!

The Challenge of Holidays

We spent the long weekend away in Cobram, and once again I found it so hard to keep on track. Things started well with me writing down everything that went into my mouth, but that came to an abrupt halt when the kids won some "Boost" chocolate bars from one of those stupid game machines on Saturday night. I lurrrrvvvveee Boost bars! And I did consume a few beers as well, although it was low carb (and therefore low in points!). I also bought the low joule champers.
Have been extra good today to make up any naughtiness whilst away. I can only wait & see what the scales say on Thursday.
We are going away to Robe in S.A. in another couple of weeks for a long weekend, and I am determined to stick to WW whilst I am there!!!

5kg Bookmark Received

YAY! A lovely loss of 2.9kgs today & I received my 5kg Bookmark. And I am more enthusiastic than ever! Only 1.2kgs til I hit my 5%.
I was a bit embarrassed when I first walked in to my meeting this morning to see two Mums from the kids' school there. But after having a think about it, I am glad they are there as it will help me keep on track - I don't want them gossiping to other Mums in the schoolyard about how badly I have done on WW!
Also pleased I achieved my first 2 goals today - to get under 130kg & lose 5kgs in total weight.
5.4kgs down, and only 62.3kgs to go.....

Crossing My Fingers for Weigh In....

Weigh in tomorrow morning, and I am PRAYING that I have a good result. I have worked my arse off this week & stayed within my points every day, and tracked every morsel of food that went into my mouth! It is driving me insane at the moment that our bathroom scales are not working. I like to weigh myself each morning to see how I am going, so it is frustrating not knowing what to expect tomorrow.
My biggest achievement this week is that I reached 30min on the treadmill tonight! My legs were tired, and my ankle is killing me, but a big YAY for me! Can't wait til I can get back to doing over an hour, which is what I was doing before Owen was conceived.
One thing I have to really concentrate on working on is my water intake. Our new fridge has a cold filtered water dispenser on the front, and we just had it hooked up last week, so I have no excuses! Going to really work on it this week.
