Another happy Jumbo again
tonight. I lost 1.5 kilos, making my total loss 11.6 kilos.
Things have been fairly easy lately. Not too many temptations, and
obviously I haven't been out on Friday nights for a while.
Work is busy (Which is a
good thing) and so I don't have time to dream about chocolates, cakes or
lollies.
I do come home late and
tired though, and some nights it is tempting to dial pizza, but I have
made sure that my freeze is stocked with heaps of packets of frozen vegetables,
so I usually eat some of them first to stop my hunger which gives me time
to relax a little and then cook something yummy.

Only another 10 days and I will have been at WW
for 3 months. If I manage to make it to a loss of 12 kilos in the
next 10 days, then that's about 4 kilos a month. Not too bad I guess.
Based on that fact then, it is 2 months until I fly home to Sydney, so
I should really be up around the 20 kilos lost mark by then. (Which
will make me just under 100 kilos). How excited will I be when that
day comes!!! I just keep that goal in mind everytime I want to put
something "bad" in my mouth. I really just want to get to that day
where people start saying to me "Gee Jen, you're losing weight!"
11.6 kilos sounds like quite a lot at times, but
I still can't notice anything on myself yet. I mean, the scales are
saying I am losing, and when I put the tape measure around me, I can read
that the centimetres are also coming off, but I still can't tell.
I wonder how much I will have to lose before I can notice myself.
Now that I've lost 10 kilos, I have to get my
fiancee to take some more pictures. I want to have some done at each
10 kilo loss, so I can keep a photographic record of how I have progressed.
On saying that, I really do need to get the pictures
we have taken so far scanned in and uploaded onto this site. That
way, you can see that I am a real Jumbo Jennie, and not some crazy person
making this all up!
I was off-line for about a week recently. Too busy to log on really, and when I finally did find a few minutes to spare, I had 441 messages in my inbox! It really is exciting to know that there are people out there following my good and bad days. It helps me to stay focused.
I've not been as good this week. I have felt a little sick lately, but have also felt extra hungry. We had Chinese for dinner on Thursday night, and Alan has taken the bread machine out of the cupboard and has been cooking this lovely bread all weekend. It is hard to stop at one slice! At least I am not smothering it in butter anymore, just WW jam. But even so, they are nice thick slices and I have had about 5 so far this weekend.
Well my mini goal is to be at 105 kilos by week 13 (Which is next Tuesday). To make that goal, I will have to lose 0.6 this week. It is achievable I know. We'll see how I go! I went for a walk with Jazzmyn (my dog) this morning. I went one way, and Alan went the other way with Saasha (our other dog). I was out for about 1/2 an hour, and that's the first bit of exercise I've done this week. It's hard to get motivated to go out and walk, but once I'm out there, I feel really good and alive, awake and fresh. I really should kick myself up the butt more often!
See you on Tuesday!
