7.1.8 - Xmas Done and Dusted

Ok enough is enough.

Xmas and New Year are finished.

Hubby is back at work.

I feel like a blimp - but a happy blimp :)

Let me share a Xmas message with you -

Thank you Girlfriend for all your cheer, good stories and laughs.

Let 2008 be your year and you get your goal.

If it is to be it is up to me!

So.... 2008 here we come... once again !!!!

3 kilos a month will get me to goal for Xmas 08.

3.8.7

it's hard to explain this: but over the last week or so i've felt that a haze has been lifted from my life. i've been off the antidepressents since february, but i never lost that feeling of not caring and no motivation to do things. i think during watching sandra bullock fuss around her house in the movie premonition - i thought - i want that back for me. mind you i've had that light bulb moment many times before seeing my friends lovely tidy houses : but there is a saying for that : a spotless house is a wasted life. (lol - sorry to anyone who has a spotless house). anyways - things seems to be falling into place a little better this week.
having said that:
last week i did not weigh in because i knew that i had gained terribly after going to the winery/noodles etc. etc. so here is the the female logic....
even though i gained .3 yesterday - i would have lost IF i had of weighed in last week.
i'm back to walking with my music as a companion: sometimes half an hour is just not long enough for all that good music.
my tracking needs to be a little more focused
but i'm getting there.
:-)

25.7.7

It is so so not easy. I wish we could just go to the shop and buy motivation. I haven't tracked, no water : i know i am so dehydrated, and exercise is a major problem. I have weigh in tomorrow : and for the first time in a long long time i might use my no weigh pass. I came home from ww last thursday and just ate whatever was in site and then had a few wines. Woke up the next morning carrying an extra 1.5 kilos. Nice! Not! went to a winery on saturday and had the most beautiful lunch and one wine (plus tastings : maybe one glass altogether). went to lunch on sunday and had noodles followed by a roast dinner and a bottle of wine. Do you see a pattern here???? to look in my wardrobe is so depressing : all those nice clothes that i bought last year just sit there waiting to be worn : but they are a size tooooo small.
I really need to go back to basics, cooking for the rest of the family and then do my own thing. I have so many recipes books and dont use them. I have all the tools - but they dont work - funny that!

A Fresh Start - 19.6.7

It's been a while - I know. It's not easy! But persistance and perserverence will get me there. I strayed there for a while and did the Tony Ferguson shake diet for a month or so. LOL! The hemroids were not pleasant so I'm back on weight watchers. Starting yesterday I'm using the ETools to track and lots of water. Just need to focus on exercise - dump the alcohol and I'll be right :-)

- 1 whole kilo - 17.2.7

wahoo! how cool is that. I tracked 95% and drank water until I was litterally running to the toilet. the gym routine has yet to fall back into place - but this week it will.
have sorted out my outfit for my step daughters wedding and i think i will feel presentable in it - i just need to lose a few kilos, as it is a little tight. will post a photo when it comes off of layby.
need to lose 4.5 kilo to get back to my lightest.

+ 1.5 - 10.2.7

Oh dear how easy it is to fall off the wagon.
No gym.
No water.
No tracking.
Lotsa wine.
Tried on my pants that i have on layby for my stepdaughters wedding - not good. i can see the whole 1.5 kgs on my thighs : that wont look good in the photos.
Well this week :
Back to the gym.
Back to the water.
and Back to tracking.
:-)

-.3 - 5.2.7

A minus two weeks in a row - might be on to something here.
I probably could have done better - I slackened off with the gym last week. But this is a new week : lets see what happens.

These photos were taken at Engleberg in Switzerland : a truly beautiful place if you ever get the chance to go to Switzerland : go to Engleberg and Interlarken :-)

-.4 - 27.1.07

.4 loss - it's a start and I'm pretty happy with that. I know where I've let myself down this week (as always) but that's a choice that I make. I have a night out with my girls tonight, and yes will have three or four or more drinks - but will endeavour not to drink for the rest of the week.

24.1.7 - A New Year - A Fresh Start

Christmas/New Year has come and gone once again. We had our big overseas holiday staying in Switzerland for three days and the UK for three weeks. The holiday was fantastic although we got fogged in down south and had to cancell our trip up to Edinburgh (sorry Des). In all I only gained 1 kg - which I was pretty happy with.

So now 2007 begins with a fresh start - I've got all the tools for weight loss. Gym membership; ww scales (bathroom and kitchen), all the books, a points calculator : all I need to do now IS STOP DRINKING WINE!!!!!!!

Six weeks till my big 70/80's party for my 40th.

Three months until my step daughters wedding.

Time to focus.

Weekend in Sydney with my gurly gurlz

What a blast - just got back from Sydney with five other wonderful women. We had such a great time - we can't wait to go back.
Lots of dancing, lots of wine, lots of walking : thank goodness : I came home weighing lighter than before I went.
Now I have to drop a few kilos before we go to the UK for Xmas.

-.6 26.10.6

On a roller coaster ride wooohoooooooooo!!!!!!!! At least this week was a step in the right direction.

+.3 - 19.10.6

Well after the week I've had - I'm surprised that it was only .3. So good on me for not gaining too much in a crisis. Although it has prompted me to go back to the points plan. Three weeks before I go to Sydney with my gurly gurlz and I want to get back to 13.2 lost instead of this rubbish 10 kg lost. Agghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-.3 12.10.6

OMG! My computer got a virus and all my settings have been lost. How hard is it when you forget your user names and passwords.
One week of no alcohol and all I lost was .3 - bah hum bug!!!!
I relented last night and had 3 glasses out of pure personal frustration, but am back track again today.

5.10.6 - 1.2 gain

TTOM too much wine take your pick - but the diagnosis is a 1.2 gain.
Am starting a 5 week alcohol sabatical today with Des. woohoo.

Catch up

It's been some time since I've posted my results - there are no great losses in there, but I'm still plodding along.

17.8.6 +.3 total loss 10.9
24.8.6 -.2 total loss 11.1
31.8.6 -.9 total loss 12.0
7.9.6 +1.7 total loss 10.3
14.9 -1.3 total loss 11.6
21.9 -/+ nil total loss 11.6
28.9 +.4 total loss 11.2

Thanks to Berry and Jen for staying in touch and having faith in me. I will do this its just going to take some time and effort on my part.
From tomorrow - I am not going to drink alcohol for five weeks.
I'm going to the gym three to four times a week and following the no count plan. I can't do much more than that - but be patient.
It won't happen over night - but it will happen.

*** New goal for 7.12.6 92.2 kilos ***

Trish.

+.1 - 10.8.6 the yoyo continues

I'm not too phased about a 100 gram gain as it is TTOM. I know I didn't do too badly, so hopely it will show up next week. :-)

.7 loss - woo hoooo!

I increased my resistance at the gym this week and have been concentrating on what I've been eating on no count - I did still however drink a little over my alcohol limit for the weekend - will try better this weekend. Also will try to get to the gym more often.
Soup veges and red meat will get me there!!!

.4 gain - 27.7.6

I REALLY thought that I was going to loose today - but no00000!!!!
.4 gain. Something is not working here.
Overall for July I gained .2 :-((((((((((((((((((((((
