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!!

To lose - something - anything - a loss is a loss, ill work hard all week but have a big weekend planned for the grandfinal and a few other things so im looking forward to all of that. Ill still make smart choices (drinking vodka and diet coke and champagne rather than udls/cruisers) and ill get some nice meat and salad to have for the bbq lunch! and ill make a platter or two so i know what im eating before i go, lots of sakatas, and celery sticks is a good one!

Drink loads of water!!

To get over 12000 steps monday - thursday, 13805 last night so im crusin!

ANOTHER CHOCOLATE FREE WEEK - why not!!

So there you go, im set, ill go home tonight and plan my meals for the rest of the week and im sure that ill lose come mondays weigh in.. which will put me under the 85kilo mark! look out! and then ill have an awsome week the following week an AFW (alcohol free week) before the netty trip the following week, im not as worried now about gaining that week, because ive had some big weeks lately and havent gained a gram!

Have a great week everyone and keep up the brilliant work!!

what a goof

I thought id share a pic that my uncle just emailed me - he found it at home from when i was at kindergarton! I thought it was funny and wierd since id never seen it before and it was from so long ago!! SO THIS IS A BEFORE BEFORE PHOTO!!!! I would have been 6 or 7

THE OVERALLS AND EARINGS ARE COOL OKAY!!

I DID IT!! LOST MORE THAN A KILO!

I DID IT! - LOST 1.2 KILOS FOR THE WEEK - THE GOAL WAS 1!!!

And for those of you who think it cant be done if you eat SHIT ALL WEEKEND then im here to prove you wrong!!! Friday night we were running late so we ordered a pizza, we got two in the deal and i ate - when i counted back - seven pieces of pizza. i was so depressed and thought it was the end of me, i was so angry at my own will power and couldnt believe what i had done, then i decided saturday was a new day, - my plan of not drinking fell out the window a bit too... had three vodka zeros at the footy (3 points) and then 3 red bulls (3 points) these are just my approx points, but i think theyre about right, the red bulls are the sugar free ones! anyway then we got back to our house, did the usual ordered pizza with all our friends.. that god damn convenience curse!! and i had four big pieces.. what is wrong with me... i was angry again but we had friends around and it was just the norm.. had a bottle of champagne, and that was my two bad nights, i know the drinks werent bad when i look back, i just said iw asnt going to then i did.. but hey thats life i guess...

Anyway yesterday we had a christening so i ordered a entree risotto, which wasnt too bad, then had a ww meal for tea, and a salad sandwhich in the late arvo, and i drank load of water to flush the system of the crap id been eating all weekend, hadnt exercised since friday morning, which im glad i got up and did!! and i weighed in this morning to my surprise, - 85kilos! which not only means i lost 1.2kilos, ive lost 2.2 for september... chappy lost then gained then lost again, so his total is 600grams... and ive lost a total of 22.2 all up!! i know wow! im feeling awsome this morning now instead of the guilt i could have carried all day from my bad weekend, i lost double of last weeks and i was stoked with that! so this week im back on track completely, lots of exercise, lots of water and lots and lots of good choices, all in preparation for our big weekend for afl grandfinal, friday and all day saturday, so it will be a big one. anyway i hope your all having great weeks and losing great stats. keep up the great work and dont let 11 pieces of pizza get you down - i know what a disgrace!

Oh - also, i wore some of my new gear on the weekend and got load of comments, that is the best feeling for sure!!

SIZEs dropping and SUMMERS a comin!

Okay its official, im size tops and bottoms! which is fantastic from the 18 tops and 20 bottoms! what a transformation! need to update my pics might get some from the netball trip in a few weeks! Got up early this morning for the first time in months and did my walk this morning instead of tonight - were going shopping - again!!! so ive got that out of the way and feeling great all day now! still going to lose that kilo on monday morning.. you just wait!! summer cant be too far away and im going to be looking great!! yes its still TTOM, i had a downer the other night but i didnt feed it - my mood that is. i had a bit of a cry to chappy he put things back in perspective and i moved on. so im looking forward to the weekend and weigh in monday - have a good one!

This weeks going to be a big fat kilo!!

Thats my goal for the week, to hit the kilo mark this week, im having an alcohol free weekend, (except the one or two maybe at the footy grand final, but im designated driver so i have to!) and im drinking my new found vodka zeros, which are only a point each!! So ill only have two points on sugar/alcohol for the weekend. I have also budgeted for a couple of freddos to get me through TTOM this week, so im going to be well under my sugar points/alcohol for the week. putting in some decent exercise this week too and mixing up a few things to try and get to that kilo goal for the week! Feeling great today, done heaps of steps and its only lunch time! cant wait to get home and try on some of the new outfits i took home at lunch to try, just some summer tops and a nice white skirt... very different to the jet black that the fat me used to hide in!!

Anyway just thought id check in and run my goals by you... have a great day and rest of the week!
