Another depressed Jumbo.
I can't believe it. (Well I guess I can) but I only lost 0.1 tonight.
I STILL haven't reached my mini goal of 105 kilos. I am now 105.2.
If I keep going like this, I will be going to Weight Watchers for the next
10 years!
A loss of 0.4 kilos in 2
weeks. Absolutely pathetic. I know I can do better, so why
aren't I?
I just seem to be having trouble saying "NO" lately. On Saturday night, a client of mine from work invited us out to Fridays nightclub for the launch of the Switch FM web site. I said I'd love to come. Anyway, it was a good night. Bacardi was sponsoring it, so of course those Bacardi Spritzer things were free. Now I don't know about any of you, but I can't say No to free alcohol. I was good though, I did only have 1. I haven't worked out the amount of points in it, but it was sooooooo sweet, so I hate to think.
We hadn't had any dinner either, so of course, when they started bringing the nibblies around, I just had to help myself to Spring Rolls (Deep fried of course) Mini slices of Pizza, Sandwiches (with margarine of course) and little pastry things. Yummy, but I was still hungry. Eventually, we decided we should go to dinner, so we wandered over to Vinos on the River at about 10pm! I sort of chose wisely and ordered the Mushroom Risotto. It was yummy, but Huuuuge (And I ate the lot)
I didn't track at all this week, so I really shouldn't whinge about the tiny loss. In fact, if I really thought about what I had eaten, I should probably be grateful that I didn't gain!
Well, here's hoping that next week I lose at least 0.2 so that I can say Yay, I've reached my mini goal of 105 kilos.

I have all this housework to do today, and I'm
actually pretty keen to get into it and increase my activity levels, but
I really wanted to jump on here first and get some more writing into this
journal.
I have been fairly slack lately with uploading
my diary onto the site. I have received a tonne of messages from
my "virtual" friends kicking me up the butt, telling me to get my messages
up, everyone misses me.
I'm sure I've said it before, but it is amazing
how many people are finding my diary inspiritational. All the comments
my visitors leave in my guestbook are what keeps me going. I am glad
I started this site. Even though my weight loss hasn't been as fast
as I would like, and even though I still stray every now and then, just
knowing all those people are out there waiting each week to see how I go
is enough to make me realise I can't stop until I reach my goal!
Thanks everyone!
Well anyway, time to tell you how my week has gone.
I was really great on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday until about 4:30pm.
I was diligently tracking everything that went into my mouth. Then
we had our sales meeting Friday afternoon and out came the wine.
I had only 2 glasses, so not too bad.
Friday night, Alan met me at the train station
and we went to the club for dinner. (I pigged out on their salad
bar)
Saturday was ok, had a yummy sandwich down at
the foodcourt of the local Westfields. Then Alan made a loaf of bread
last night. I've eaten half of it already. Ggggrrrrrrr....
what is it with that bread! We can buy a loaf of bread from the supermarket
and it can sit in the Freezer for weeks without being touched. But
as soon as that loaf comes out of the breadmaker, it lasts a maximum of
a day! It is sooooo moreish!
I think I have discovered a major weakness of
mine here. I have to stop Alan from making bread!
On a brighter note though, we bought a packet of
Tim Tams (the new chewy caramel kind) when we did our grocery shop yesterday.
I told Alan that if he opened them, he would have to eat the entire packet
in one go, or he would have to throw them out. I couldn't really
trust myself to see an open pack of Tim Tams in the fridge.
In fact, I didn't think I'd be able to trust myself
with an unopened packet either. I am pleased to say though, that
when I was looking around in the fridge last night cause I was hungry,
I didn't even look twice at the Tim Tams!
But not eating a Tim Tam still doesn't help me
with Tuesday nights weigh in. I feel I am at a plateau now.
I have tracked this week, and have gone over by about 4 points on 2 occassions.
But every other day, I have saved 1 point, so theoretically, I should be
ok..... But, I bet I'm not.
I've been constantly hungry for about a week now.
And this week, I have only walked once.
I went to the gym on Friday night, there is one
just up the road from my work. I thought if I joined a gym in the
city, I could go during my lunchbreak, and maybe after work a couple of
times. I liked the place, and the things they had to offer, so I
have joined. At first, my goal is to go every Friday night for an
hour. That, plus one 30 minute walk per week should be enough to
kickstart my metabolism again.
Then, once I lose a little more and reach another
plateau, I thought I could continue with my walk and my Friday night gym
session, and then add another gym session during the week, probably Wednesday
lunchtime I thought.
Then of course, once summer is here, and it stays
lighter for longer, I will be swimming (we have a pool) and maybe walking
more often.
They are my plans anyway. I am part of this e-mail group where we are all trying to lose weight. I told them that if they see me on line too often, they have to kick me up the butt and tell me to go to they gym, or go for a walk!
Well enough rambling from me. I have my fingers crossed for a 0.2 kilo loss on Tuesday night so I can be 105 kilos.
Happy tracking everyone!
