Just a little

Here I am again to report with the big birthday week I managed to lose 100 grams....noooooo its not much but its downwards isn't it? Anyways all the family flies in in the next 2 days, and the big party is on Saturday night soooooooooooo just a little prayer to keep me a little on track please.

Despite all.....I LOST !!!

Just a quick post, weighed in tonight, and despite the indulgences I did manage to lose 900 grams....a big surprise to me !! Anyways my leader Deb did say to be careful as it might catch up on me this week if I don't be careful. Anyways this week I will be good, it's the last week before my family flies in and we party ...... wooooohoooooooo

Today is my birthday

Today is my 50th birthday, and yes its the day before weigh in. Mmmmmm not good coz I haven't been. I have been thoroughly spoilt by work mates with a lovely big jelly cheese cake and how could I say no!! They have been so great and supportive on my weight loss journey and followed every kilo with me so today I shared the cake with them. Every workmate gets cake on their birthday and usually I say thanks, but no thanks and they have understood. And then come home from work and hubby and sons and my lovely little grankids are there to spoil me more. They too, have been great along my journey but wellllllllllllll as they say, enjoy today and worry about weight tomorrow. We'll see what those scales say tomorrow but I'm not going to worry too much about it.
Ohhhhhh and aren't my little one"s absolutely gorgeous !!! Now the weight is going I am so much healthier and playing with them is so much more fun. Only 2 weeks to go and my #2 son and partner fly in from South Oz with his 3 kids (Jessica, Zoe and Sheymus.....see #2 pic) and my daughter and her partner (no kids) from Melbourne. She will be 21 soon and we are having a double celebration...her 21st and my 50th

How will I go this week?

Weighed in last night and lost 400 grams, still have a 100 grams to go to make up the 500 grams I gained last week !!! I had another good day, bad day week but could have done better if I had tried harder. And this week I so do want to do well, but think I'm going to have to be strong as have cake at work on Friday for Hank(he's going on hols for 2 weeks so won't be here for his birthday) and it's my birthday on Monday....yeaaaaa the day before weigh in....just great ehhhhhh?
Excersise is no hassle, still walk every day for my 45 minutes to an hour....but mornings are getting darker at 6am and it won't be long before the dvd's and videos come out for morning excersises. Have to excersise at that hour as I have to leave for work just after 7am....and no can't excersise in the evenings....too tired after work.
And how do I stop rewarding myself with food every week after weigh in? I buy takeaway or cook up what ever I feel like for Tuesday night tea .... I know, I know, I know its not the done thing to do but I have always done it and guess its habit BUT how do I break it. I KNOW I have to if I ever want to get ahead.

Not a good week !!!

Well as it says, not a good week. I really thought I would lose just a little bit, or stay the same NOT gain 500 grams!! Really peeved off about that as I had to drop from 22 points to 20 points, that was becoz I had got under 80 kilo's. Anyways, boy, did I struggle, and the scales showed it!! Now I am 80 kilo's and this week gonna sit on 21 points and move down to 20 another week when my body adjusts.
Anyways this week is another week>>>>lets go Jen!!

wooooooohoooooooooo

YES,YES,YES ........I lost !!!!
I am now a 7o's girl ........I lost 1.7 and am now 79.5 Woooooooohooooooo!!!!!!
Didn't think I would do it, had a very up and down week fighting (and giving in!!!) to cravings ....mmmm yes, it was the week before TTOM!!! Really didn't think I would lose that much....but hey not going to complain am I?? Now I am under 80 kilo's I now have to drop 2 points and work on a 20 point day....gonna have to remember that and watch myself this week I think. Have got the tracker out and really ready to go ..... onwards and downwards.

My weekend

Been a difficult week

Welllll, last week I had a blinder, did everything so well, kept to my points and even saved points, excersised everyday for 45 minutes to an hour ...... but lost only 200 grams....
This week have been trying but its approaching that time of the month and yessssssss those cravings have kicked in. Doing my best to combat them....but heck knows what those scales are going to say on Tuesday night. Did soooooo much want to get to 75 kilo's by the end of February, even joined a challenge on the ww forum to do so, but it's going to be a struggle. But I am still trying......
Have been busy this weekend...painted the lounge and bedroom and even did some work in the garden.

Halfway

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I am half way there, last night weighed in and lost 1.2 kilo's......!!!!

My next mini goal is to lose 6.6 kilo's by the end of February, would like to be 75 kilo's when Kylee comes home for her 21st .... only 6 weeks away, achievable but will have to be on my best behaviour. Can I do it, I don't know, but by heck I will be trying !!!!!

As I thought....I gained !!!

Well after a horror weekend where I did eat a lot more than I should have, I did gain 200 grams .... not a lot but enough. Well look out next week, it's gonna go and hopefully a bit more.
Also going to have to control my emotional eating, thought when Hannah had the miscarriage I did have it under control but I didn't..I grazed and didn't even realise it until I had the food in my mouth !!!
Well I did say it was going to be a journey....didn't say it was gonna be easy.

Time for a cry

Number 3 son rang me last night...his partner who was nearly 12 weeks pregnant was bleeding. A rush trip was had to the emergency ward at the hospital...but it was not to be. Our little bub to be miscarried overnight. Son and partner are ok, disappointed of course, but both young and know there will be a next time.
I've had a cry....but have kept my emotions under control and haven't gone for food like I usually do....must be learning!!

UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!

Well this morning, because I had a unexpected day off I went to weigh in instead of this evening. Wanted to find out what damage I had done on the 2 weeks break over chrissy and new year. Was hoping with all the excersise I had done...I walked 45 minutes to an hour just about every day including Christmas day....I would at least stay the same. The scales unbelievably said I had LOST 1.4 kilo's, I couldn't believe it !!!!! I'm off and running again....

Hulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooo

Wellllll I'm here to post on my blogger, but can't seem to get it working properly...........don't know whats happening or even if its going to work. Wanted to post a pic but the "thingies" are not on my posting box for me to do it !!!! Really I give up.
Anyways alls been going well, the excersise is great, been walking up to an hour a day. The food and point counting has been so-so, had my moments but haven't gone overboard. Weigh in on Tuesday evening...that WILL be the telling moment. Want to really get myself into gear again, daughter flies home on the 1st March for her 21st .... sooooooooooooooo want to be nearly at goal. Can I do it, nooooooooo I don't think so!!! I am 83.8 now (or was at my last weigh in before chrissy) ww goal is 68 .... so whats that, mmmmmmm, 13.8 kilo's to go. No, can't do that in 9 weeks....but geeeeee I'm going to be trying my best to get under 75 kilo's. Can I do it !!!!
I hope so!!!

Wellllll, I can see the changes

Looking at these and looking at others I CAN see the difference..........look NO triple/double chins any more !!!
My daughter in law took these today and yep couldn't wait to post them....just love my blogger now I'm getting used to it !!
Actually was feeling like nibbling, so grabbed a ffew cherries and a diet coke and headed here....not hungry now !!!

Looking around again

After posting those pics realised I haven't got one of me now!!! And that I haven't posted my ww details....silly me.
First up,,,, I stared my new lifestyle journey on 20th September 2005 at 95.1
On 8th November I weighed in at 89.5 and got my boookmark "I'm on the move"
On 6th December 2005 I weighed in at 85.1 .... made my 10% yippppppeeeee
Last weigh in, on 20th December, I gained 0.4, *sigh* but my first gain in the 13 weeks, so not bad. A few emotional upheavals and yessssssssssss I turned to food.
Next weigh in january 3rd, 2006 !!!
But as I said earlier, am back on track and tracking, counting points, watching portion sizes and ready to continue this journey.
Must get a pic taken and post soon......11.3 kilo's down, should look different ehhhhhh?

Looking around

Wowwwwwwwwww just going through some pics and found these, these were taken last christmas, what a difference a year makes ehhhhh? But silly me left it till September before I joined ww and changed my lifestyle......

Had a great day!!

Wellllllllll, yesterday was the best, stuck to my pledge and followed my points....did really well. It helped that I was very busy for most of the day with housework and visitors ..... A bit peeved off as none of them, yep *sigh* none of them, had any comment about my weight loss....surely it was noticable to someone !!!!!.....*sigh*
We'll see how the rest of the week goes....

Well today I set this up, don't know how its going to work, me and these things usually don't see eye to eye. I have only recently found out about these "blogs" and plucked up the courage to give it a go...........Should have started this wayyyyyyyy back when I started "my journey" .

Anyways I started my weight loss journey back in September, or should I say my NEW LIFESTYLE journey, and so far all going well. Or it was till Christmas come along. But after beating myself up and getting ashamed of myself, decided I would have a few relaxing days, not count points or anything, then today (Boxing Day) begin again. That I have done.....so here we go.
