No dancing piccies tonight.
I am not talking to myself. I didn't lose anything this week.
I didn't put anything on either, so I guess that is the main thing.
It was Alans birthday yesterday,
so we went to his mums place for dinner on Saturday night. His brother
and sister-in-law were down from Toowoomba with the kids.
His mum put on this huge
feast, and while it was all low point stuff, or recipes from the WW cook
books, I ate too much!
Also, it was a long weekend,
which meant I was home alone for 2 days. (Cause Alan was working).
It was cold, so I made this soup. Heaps of vegies, and some soup
mix. I ate the lot!! I couldn't stop eating all weekend.
I was just soooo hungry. Thank god we didn't have any chocolates
in the house.
I walked home the long way from my meeting tonight. I think I might get my week one book out and follow my meal plan exactly again this week as I did that first week. That was when I lost 3.1 kilos. I must have done something right that week!

I have had a fairly good week. I got my week
one booklet out, but haven't followed it. I realise why I didn't
lose anything... I ate too much! Also, I did NO exercise last week.
I have walked twice this week. Hopefully
I will be good and walk again tomorrow during my lunch break, that will
make 3 exercise sessions this week.
Also, I haven't eaten near as much. I am
sick at the moment, and even though I am eating to keep my metabolism up,
I am not constantly hungry.
I also started weighing my food this week.
I have never been able to tell by sight just how much a "small" serving
is, so my scales have come out. I soon discovered another problem...
I have been giving myself large servings and not adjusting the points to
reflect this. I am now able to judge a small serving.
We did our grocery shop yesterday, and I stocked
up on lots of things that are needed to make the recipes in the WW cookbook
I bought. I am looking forward to making some of the recipes, they
look great.
I also found a yummy low point snack in the dairy
section. They are called "Aero Mousse" and I bought a chocolate and
a mint chocolate flavour. They work out to be only 1 point each!
That is great for when I have a chocolate craving. I had one last
night, my first taste of chocolate since I joined almost a month ago.
It was delicious!
Hopefully I will have a loss to record on Tuesday night. I am coming up to my 1 month soon as I joined on the 23rd May. I will take new measurements on the 23rd June. I am interested to see how many centimetres have come off me!
A 0.8 kilo loss on Tuesday night will mean I am 5 kilos slimmer than a month ago! That is an incentive for me to definitely take my walk tomorrow. I should also take one on Tuesday, that will make 4 exercise sessions this week.
I am glad I am still motivated. I hope this motivation stays with me for a long time. I think all the support I am receiving from friends, family, workmates and internet pals is making it easier to stay on track.
Alan had a huge bowl of icecream and Ice-magic caramel topping last night. I wasn't even tempted for a taste! And of course, we now have lots of "naughty" foods in the cupboard following yesterdays shop. (Chocolate fudge topping, ice cream, jelly) It will stay there for Alan to eat! I will stick to my carrot sticks!
Stay tuned for the Tuesday night meeting results!
