Week 11

Another week down and another 2.5 KILOGRAMS gone!!!!! YAY!!!!  When I stepped on the scales this morning, I really couldn't believe that I had lost 2.5kgs! SO stoked!!!!  AND, I got to my 5% goal today, well actually I went past it by 600 grams, so Rebekah, I'm going to come and buy that cookbook off you when I'm next down in Welly!!!
When you get to a major goal in your weight loss, Rebekah would ask us what has helped us along the way.  In the past couple of weeks, it has been tracking for me and since I haven't been able to control a lot of what I'm eating, I've had to control portion sizes and over estimate point values.  Which has helped a lot I'm sure.  Another key thing that I've been doing is eating a lot more veges, which has really helped me stretch my point allowence for the day and week. 
Yesterday, we got a free lunch on campus and I found myself turning down the slice that they had to offer for dessert as I had already had had some biscuits for morning tea.  I have to say that I was very proud of myself as I was substituting and using skills that I have learnt throughout the past year in the meetings for WW.
I should really go and study now... fun fun :)

Have a great week!!!

Week 10

For the first time in months, I have tracked for 5 days in a row.  And guess what?  It is so worth it!!!! I lost 2.1kg (from my geusstimated weight last week)!!!! YAY FOR ME!!!! I'm so stoked, it's nice to have a weight loss that isn't going to go back on next week.  Where I am now living I am eating salads everyday along with using wholegrain bread instead of white.  And since I no longer have a stead income, I can't just buy anything that I want from the shops which is FANTASTIC.  I think this is what I've needed for the past couple of months; a big change and surrounded by lots of skinny people who, even though they don't know it, keep me motivated.

So for this week, I am going to track every day, keep drinking heaps of water and eating healthy and hopefully, I'll loose even more :D

Have a fantastic week!

Week 9

So.  I'm in Auckland.  And I've put on weight.  The worst part is, I don't need scales to tell me.  But, today I've signed up with WW online so I can continue with my weight loss journey up here in Auckland.  We're going to buy me some bathroom scales and a measuring tape so I can track accurately.

I am looking forward to this.

Weeks 7 and 8

So it's probably time to suck it up and tell y'all how weigh in was on Thursday.  Well, first of all my holiday was lovely.  Absolutely one of the best holidays I've ever had.  And at the end of it, I had a nice, big gain of 2.7 kilos.  Now, before you start judging and thinking what on earth did she eat, because I ate  A LOT, I'm OK with this gain, in fact I don't really care.  I'm in the middle of a huge change in my life and until it settles down, I am most likely going to struggle with loosing weight and with my eating.  Until I'm settled down in Auckland, I am going to do WW online and have got myself a pedometer so I can have a set out goal for me each day.  I am going to focus on my portion sizes and incidental and purposeful exercise.  I will track at least once a day and slowly introduce that into my daily routine again.  And don't worry, I will still update this regularly. Next time I write here, I will be in Auckland! YAY!!!!

Happy eating!
