Bugger Bugger Bugger .2 gain 30.3.6

How many weeks of little losses followed by gains can one girl put up with? I was so sure that I lost yesterday, even if it was only .3. I tracked, drank water and worked my butt off at the gym. But no! I gained .2 AGAIN!!!! Did the hold back the tears thing after weigh in. Am back to the Doctor on Monday and yes he is going to hear of my complaint!!!!!!!!

.2 loss - 25.3.6 Not enough

Well at least it's going in the right direction. I feel the loss could have been a little more, as I weighed in two hours later during the day and had had 600 ml of water at the gym beforehand. Aren't us weight watchers funny people, we have a reason or excuse for everything. But I also have to remind myself that it was my birthday week and I did go out for Thai on Friday night, I did overdo the alcohol and I did have bites of birthday cake and cheesecake. I only got serious about tracking on Monday.
I have started tracking each day on ETools and sticking to it, I'm going to the gym four to five times a week - so I am expecting a bigger loss next week :-)
Enough of putting in the exercise and sabotaging my points - It's time to get focused again.

.3 loss - 16.3.6

I've lost .3 - second loss in two weeks - Yahoooooo! It's only small, but it all counts. I kind of sabataged myself last night for my birthday - we had burgers, champers and wine. I'll keep plodding along at the gym and doing my points - I will get there. .7 to lose to get back my January weight.

Found a new way to spend money

I finally did it - I visited Peppertown (Virginia Brisbane) last week to look at the beading section - WOW!!!! Booked and did a course yesterday (only $10 plus cost of beads) to make beaded jewellery - it was so easy. If you've ever wondered - go and do it! You'll love it. The tools (x 2) will cost $20 to set up plus cost of beads, I can't wait to go back and make some more - can never have enough jewellery.

Oops - A little more shopping

Made the trip over to the other side of Brissy today and YES the shoes fitted, just had to have them to go with the new chocolate pants. Made a huge mistake though - I took number one son (12) to buy a new hat. Apparently he knows how to shop as well as I do, the hat came along with a new belt and necklace. Then because Surf Vision was closing down and had 40% off we popped in there. Hmmm! The $100 jeans turned out to be $150 down to $90, we bought them, along with about four shirts. It's going to take me until Christmas to pay off this weekend, but everyone looks great in their new clothes.
Have been to the gym each morning this week and with all the walking around shops - if I don't loose something on Thursday - there will be hell to pay.

Am trying to add this 'old' photo to my profile, so please don't say that I look like I'm doing well.

Shopping, Shopping and Shopping

What's worse than going on a shopping blitz and spending too much money - taking your daughter and spending double.
It all started with a top layby, the next day I laybyed some pants to go with the top. Today I decided that now I need the shoes complete the outfit, that's a drive to the other side of Brisbane tomorrow, as they have the only brown size 10 in the style that I WANT AND HAVE TO HAVE. Bought a funky new bag from the kids, and a food processor from hubby for my birthday. Then there were the size 11 brown boots that I had to buy because winter is coming and I ABSOLUTELY NEED them.
Daughter needs new jeans, and they couldn't be any jeans. No we walked the whole of Westfield and arrived back at the first ones at the surf shop - double money of course. New shoes, new top, new pjs - now I have laybys all over town.
Ahhhhh!! Don't you just love that shopping high. Except I walked too far and now my ankles are screaming at me to get in the spa and relax.

.6 loss 9.3.6 The Drought Is Over!!!!!

The gym seems to be paying off a little. I weighed in today and lost .6 yeh for me. Still need to lose that one kilo that I put on back in January. Considering 2006 was going to be my year, it's a slow start. Persistance andPerserverance - I will get there!!!!
Am starting to fit back into my size 18 Rockmans jeans that I wore some five six years ago. This winter I may actually get into my pink outfit that I bought a very long time ago. It's probably gone out of fashion now - but who cares - if I can wear it, I will have achieved something.
