Disappointed!!

A loss of 800gms this week. I should be happy, but I cannot help but feel soooo disappointed! I have been working so very very hard. Exercising every day, saying no to wine, counting my points, drinking water. I know TTOM (That Time of Month) is looming, so I feel bloated, but I was expecting a bigger loss!!
Anyway, will attempt to shake this feeling off! Have had a great week, so will continue it & stay "in the zone" so that next week's will be a ripper of a loss!
Unfortunately feel like I am coming down with a cold, so hope it doesn't derail me in any way.

3.1kgs Whooooo Hooooo!!

Fantastic loss of 3.1kgs this week! I am absolutely stoked! Looks like all my hard work paid off!!! Just gotta keep it up!
So, my next 2 goals were achieved - under 120kgs (again!), and 10% body weight lost (yet, again!!). My next few goals are 15kgs lost, 20kgs lost & under 110kgs. I'm on a mission!!!!
Had a beautiful dinner out last night with 4 of my girlfriends. The yummy green curry looked superb (and yes, I had to have a taste!), but I was a good girl & had a grilled calamari salad for entree, and stir fried beef & vegies for my main meal. Both were yummy, but the calamari was definitely the best calamari I have ever tasted - it just melted in my mouth!! So nice to be able to eat out & make good food choices!!!
Anyway, this week I want to continue what I am doing, but closely monitor my wine intake on the weekend - I really want to stay within my points!!

On Track for a Loss...

Have had a great week! Went well & truly over points on the weekend, but have been working my butt off to make up for it this week. My 4 goals for this week have been nearly achieved....

1. Track - I have tracked every morsel that has been consumed! Even if I tasted something, or nibbled on something, I have tracked it! Even when I ate well over my daily points, I tracked it!
2. Water, water, water - I have been trying to get into the habit of taking my water bottle with me everywhere, and now I miss it if it is not with me!
3. Exercise daily - Have been building up my stamina on the xtrainer each day. I began last week with only being able to do a 3min stint at a time, and I pleased that I have just jumped off the xtrainer a couple of minutes ago, and have done 12mins in one stint! I can't wait until I can build it up to 30mins in one hit, instead of having to do little bits throughout the day!! Didn't exercise on Sunday as we had a huge walk around the Zoo, and I don't think my ankle would have been able to withstand it!
4. Get off the bloody wine!!! - My biggest struggle this week without a doubt. Succumbed over the weekend (which is where I blew my points), but have not had a drop of it during the week, which is amazing. Nothing is better than sitting down with a nice cold white wine once all the kids are in bed!

I must say I am noticing that I moving a lot more now that I have to be dressed & ready to take the kids to school by 8.30am. When hubby did the morning school drop off the last few years, I would sometimes still be in my PJs at midday!!! Now I am up & at 'em, and just feel so much more energised. And I get so much more done during the day! It's brilliant!!!!Have dinner out tonight with some girlfriends at a local Thai restaurant. Will be steering away from any rice or heavy dishes!Will report in with tomorrow's weigh in - fingers crossed for a great result!

This Is It!

Feeling really motivated & on the ball today! Have planned my food for the day, and will not stray at all. Have been repeating to myself all day that I only need food to fuel this body of mine, and it is time I started taking care of this "vessel" - especially for the sake of my ankle. The pain is not going to improve unless I lose weight to ease the burden on it.
Had a discussion with the hubby last night, about how one day soon the kids are going to be embarrassed when I come to school activities. I don't want to be the fattest mum there, and I dread the day that one of the kids asks me not to attend something!
It's definitely time!
Anyway, off to jump onto the eliptical trainer whilst Aidan is napping!
Looking forward to an amazing loss this week!
