The luck had to stop somewhere...

So im feeling a bit shit today - flat and tired and a bit down after my weigh in which was inevitable and I knew it was coming. I gained 600grams this week so those little bits i lost over the last two weeks of drinking and partying are back with avengence. which is hard when this weekend is going to be so big and with so many things on but ill just have to pull my head in a bit, and even more after that. Friday we went for thai and i ate too much and drank some sugary udls that i should have left in the fridge, as much as i needed them after a hard week - i was buggered, i could have had healthier alternatives. Saturday i got off to a good start, stuck to the plan till after lunch when i had a few snackos and 2 chocky frogs. Went for a walk both saturday and sunday, but sunday i followed it up with a massive bbq - way too many nibblies, a 4 pack of midori splices and then a couple of glasses or more of wine, then we did it all again for dinner, bbq meat and salad but that extra bit of bread and sausage in bread still so none of it was good. So there's my confession, im feeling really down today and i even thought my depression reared its ugly head this morning when i was getting ready for work and I hated who I seen in the mirror, i had to tell myself to ignore those feelings and get to work. hopefully step helps tonight, and hey i havent had a gain for months so i have to learn something from it and move on. I hope everyone had a good weekend and had some good losses. Check in soon :I

6 WEEK CHALLENGE

Okay so ive gotten a bit off track the last few weeks with netball trips and ladies days - hardly!! and even though ive still been losing, i really want a big week this week and i decided to start a six week challenge. 3 kilos in 6 weeks. 3 of these weeks we have weddings /races so that is why ive set this challenge, and im going to do it too, it will mean i will be 80.9 and my goal pre birthday and christmas was to be in the 70s... so thats looking more real than ever!! Step was great last night and ive set my weeks eating and exercise plan and sticking to a tee at the moment. Hot today but still going to get out there and walk/run tonight after work then to my brothers for tea so i can do his tax. risotto, yum! Have checked out quite a few of the other ww blogs today, donna and raes are especially inspiring and its great to see so many transformations. big hugs to leesh who isnt feeling the best at the moment and having her life turned upside down professionally and health wise, keep on track and we'll all get there. I thought id show a few more pics from the netty trip too, which are above, the first one was friday the second was saturday morning.. were all a bit crook as you can tell.. we had a ball! two weeks alcohol free now though which im actually really looking forward to and hopefully the scales will be too! had headaches this week too, maybe my bodys saying enough is enough too! Have a great week, better get back to work xx

PROGRESS REPORT - PHOTOS

Okay here you go! a before and progress photo, from one netball trip to the next!! drunk in both, smiling funny as always! never trust a cheeky smile~ 23 kilos difference, the before one isnt a good indication but i was big,. its also going from a size 20 - 14 so this is my progress...

Cant say before and after, because ive still got 9.2 kilos to go to ww goal.. then ill see how I feel and go from there! who knows I might have to get photos of next years trip too!!

I still have to scan my actual before photo in which is a shocker, but im waiting till i get to goal so that i can see a huge transformation! I think one of my 21st photos was the worst, ive got that there too so you can tell the difference, enjoy - and stay tuned for more updates!

I CAN DO IT!

I dont think id gain if i tried !!!

OMG!! I dont think I would have gained if I had tried any harder!! and i had a crack at it thats for sure!!! Got back from albury late saturday night...

NETBALL TRIP was awesome!! Funnest weekend ive EVER had!! We had a ball! three massive days of drinking SOOOO many sugar filled drinks and not counting (or remembering most of) what I ate! chips and gravy was the dinners usually, easy quick and cheap - eatins cheatin of course!!!! ha! then lunch was maccas or something greasy, after a maccas breaky or something just as healthy and nutritious! And guess what we had a ball!! it was so much fun, was So drunk both friday nght and saturday night and then sunday again!! was SOOOO sick in the mornings but back up and drinking before lunch!! and then wanted to go back when we got home finally sunday night!! couldnt have asked for a better weekend, wish we could go back again very soon, we decided we wouldnt wait for the next one, wed have to do more girls weekends away.. we were with a footy trip for most of the weekend, they were awsome!! theres some talent in druin, - or however its spelt!!! funny times!! 29002 steps on friday - can you believe it! dancing pays off!!

And while i was 'off WW' for the weekend.... weighed in for interest - as to how much id set myself back (but didnt care) yesterday morning,.... and i had LOST 200 grams.... WHAT THE!

I know, I was so shocked, and i even had more shit to eat yesterday and said to chappy... im even trying to eat shit and its TTOM this week and i still lost!!! but back on track today... and im happy to keep the downward spiral continuing too dont get me wrong, i just thought that it was amazing to have lost after the weekend that i had had,, and it wasnt like id worked hard with the start of the week either, i had a shocker all up!!!

So theres my weekend, back to normal life now.. back at work and slowly catching up on sleep!!
Have a great week and enjoy every second we have, because life pretty bloody awesome when we have a crack at it!!

P.S Ill have some photos to put up this week too! not many but i can tell the difference when i see them. 23.2 kilos less than last years trip! yey!

300g pattern

Ive hit a new pattern, 300grams a week, a bit slower than I would have liked but considering what ive been eating and drinking, its a HUGE LOSS! Had a run in with a block of chocolate after last weeks massive weekend and horrible eating and too much drinking, and the week started out bad.. very bad. no tracking and lots of eating, then i got back on track, but wasnt as strict over this weekend either. we went to pizza hut friday night, me mum and a cousin, it was load of fun though, and i ate more than enough, but got up and walked again saturday morning, then we had a big bbq lunch both sat and sunday and pasta for tea again saturday night, then home made pizza last night, which wasnt bad but it was big enough!! and then i weighed in this morning for a loss of 300grams. current weight 84.4 - which when i think about it is a week before the netty trip - this friday and im 1.6kilos less than my netty trip goal! so im happy!!

My goal by birthday is to be in the 70s and even if i keep losing slowly im confident ill get there (dec 13th) 8 weeks to lose 4.5kilos - too easy! so i need to pick up to about 500grams a week and after the netball trip im going to get some bigger ones than that anyway when we have nothing on!

Hope everyone had a great weekend like I did, good luck with weigh ins, lots to do at work today and lots to organise for the trip ! four sleeps!! Step class tonight which will be interesting let you know how we go!! Total loss to date 22.9 kilos!!! I know - Ill lose another 100grams at least by friday so i can say ive lost 23kilos all up!!

TOP OF THE MORNING TO YOU ALL!

Its large font day today, because its Friday and I can! try and make the blog look a bit different i thought - so guess what - im over my start of the week slump and im feeling great. have been exercising my butt off and i even looked in the mirror this morning when i got out of the shower, and went - oy thats a bit smaller! thats a great feeling!! Casual day today, first friday of the month, and I got to wear some new pants I bought size 14 (down from a 20) So im feeling great, went for a walk with zara this morning and got some yummy cereal on my way home, then I got ready and walked in to work. Im hanging out for lunch - going to the new restaraunt down the main street, its has my FAVOURITE pasta - spaghetti florentine, ive saved my pasta dish all week for this guys, so im going to enjoy every last minute of it!!!! And then its home made hamburgers which are only light, for tea tonight,

Tomorrow night were having a night in, or a girls night as i like to call it, except chappys a guy!!! but you get the gist, movies, home made pitta pizza and just relaxing.. A dry weekend, first in a long time!! looking forward to it, i wonder if we'll start to get withdrawals... IM KIDDING! And pottering around the house all weekend, cant wait!

Speaking of not being able to wait.... NETBALL TRIP NEXT WEEKEND> 7 sleeps!!!
Went shopping and bought lots of fun stuff last night, window chalk to decorate the bus, (everythings red) our tops, our stubby holders (all with white writing) and we have red jelly shots, red thongs and red glow bracelets and necklaces!! for those that dont play netball, get on it, just for the end of year trip! its the funnest weekend of my year i think!! im really looking forward to this one too, great crew going and races saturday, winery tour friday and more drinks sunday!!! bring it on!!

Anyway better do some work for the day, why, i know - its a friday - works overrated!! But it will make the day go quicker i figure!! have a great week and I look forward to logging my big LOSS monday morning... im going for a big fat kilo, let you know how i go!!! x

BACK ON TRACK

Okay i fell off for a little while and have been a bit slack since the weekend but im back on track.. the chocolate got the better of me.. its gone now though.. but heres my confession, NO MORE! and there are my sugar points gone at the start of the week, lucky its an alcohol free week coming up!! My biggest note to myself is DONT LET YOUR MIND TRICK YOU INTO THINKING YOU CANT DO THIS. of course we can do this, we have done it and were still doing it!! we have hurdles and speed bumps like we do in life, keeps things interesting, if it was ALWAYS easy none of us would be overweight.. ill just have to go for an extra big walk tonight to pay off some of the spending (eating and drinking) i built up on my credit card (body) over the weekend!! its as simple as that!!

I CANT BELIEVE I LOST! I LOVE MY NEW METABOLISM

I think im in love - whats is up with my new metabolism.....

I lost 300 grams this week so 84.7 kilos today.

AFTER - Midori splices and nibblies friday night, followed by two mornings of greasy bacon and eggs on the bbq, finished off a bottle of champagne and --- wait for it - a 700ml bottle of vodka saturday for grand final day.. who won again??? it was a massive day/night and i cant remember what food went down my throat that day! it didnt come back up which was a bonus! (nice i know!!!)

Then yesterday i must have thought it was the last day in the world to eat food! I ate everything in site, and i even went down the street and bought a block of cadbury - a big one - which i ate half of, before feeling worse, and after not moving my but off the couch unless it was for food... i didnt move all day! So you can imagine my SHOCK HORROR this morning when the scales went down instead of up....

Ive thought about it all morning, and while its put my spring back in my step... I decided that it must be because over the last six months my metabolism has sped up and is more capable of handling a one off weekend like this as aposed to doing it every single weekend - like the old me - hence the weight gain hey!!

So I was happy with that loss this morning and ill aim to be in the 83 range next week - nothing on this weekend which is FANTASTIC - and then the weekend after is the netball trip, so ill need a weekend in between to reward my metabolism for its hard work this weekend just gone!

Netball trip - i promise you some updated photos too!!

GOALS FOR THE WEEK

DRINK LOADS OF WATER - especially today and tomorrow, flush that vodka out!!!
EXERCISE for at least 40 minutes Monday - Thursday and at least two days on the weekend Fri- Sunday... Yes i said i had to make up for last weekend...
LOSE AT LEAST 700grams this week
STEP CLASS starts this week too, wednesday nights, so i can have that night off walking i just remembered!
NO CHOCOLATE - I think ive had my quota for a few weeks, i dont care if i have to throw the other half in the bin im not touching it. I PROMISE YOU!!

Anyway I better get back to work, have a good day!!
