First week without weigh in

Well, after making LTM last week, I don't have to WI this week. And I think, same as the week after I made Goal, that I've had a bit of a "hangover". I ate too much on the weekend and am up on the scales. It was Dale's birthday on the weekend, and I catered a BBQ which was fine, but I ate too much of the good food and then had some of Dale's chockies - who would have known that a Lindt ball is 2 points! Anyway, I'm feeling back on track. I still need to get out of the habit of "needing" something after dinner, but I'm getting there. I made smaller portions for dinner last night and was still comfortably full.

I've started having bigger brekkies though, because I was getting into the habit of snacking at work - pray for me today as there is cake for morning and afternoon tea! So am having a large breakfast and will take a yoghurt along to morning tea. Fingers crossed.

On the rest of the life front, I'm still on the job hunt. My contract will finish at the end of July (it was extended from June) so I've still got a bit of time, but I'm being picky :-) I'll get something in the long run, and there's always agency nursing.

Anyway, short, a good weekend was had, food is back under control, I'm feeling a bit under the weather but still at work. Have a good one!

LTM

I went off to WI this morning and weighed exactly the same as I did last week. Thought I'd be a little bit down, but nevertheless got my key for lifetime membership (LTM). So an important day for me.

I've had an up and down weekend. Full of injuries which sucked, but spent some good time with friends. Girls' night on Friday night which was lovely, followed by a run on Sat am which confirmed my knee is still stuffed and I have to go see the doctor. Then I twisted my ankle at baseball Sat arvo and spent Sat night with my legs up and iced. Sunday I went out for brekky with Dee which was really nice, then had Bible study - always inspiring - followed by a really close game of indoor cricket which we lost. In this game we lost, I not only managed to play pretty ordinarily, I also got hit with the ball three times. Woke up Monday am very sore and sorry for myself. Am still sore! Must make sure I get a good night's sleep tonight.

It's Dale's birthday this Sunday, so must go finish the shopping at some stage! I really have no idea what to get him as an adjunct to what I already got! (can't mention that in case by some miracle he reads this) He's difficult because he really doesn't want anything. I'll find something I'm sure....

Another WI

Up 0.2 today - so really the same. I seem to mostly post here on WI days. Oh well, at least it keeps me honest! I'm honestly happy (see, honest) with where I am at the moment. In the next few months I might go a few more kg, but I might leave that til summer. I'm really pretty happy with being able to maintain this weight without too much difficulty.

I'm really suffering with the munchies the last few days. Must try to stay away from it! I've been eating good food, just probably too much of it. Oh well. Need to make some point free soup to munch on.

I'm off on a girls' night on Friday night. I'm thinking of leaving the car at home and getting a lift home (first time in a long time). I'm just hoping that if I do that, I wont go bananas on the drinks! I doubt I will, but just in case... It should be a lot of fun. The start of the usual busy weekend. At least I'm taking an ADO on Friday so I'll have a day just to me. Hairdresser's appointment on Friday arvo - that's always a bit of a pamper. I love it.

Have a wonderful weekend all!

Supposed to be WI day

Well, I was meant to WI today, but the scales were broken (before I stood on them!!!). So I'll WI tomorrow.

I had a difficult night last night. I just kept eating - healthy, but way too much. I went to bellydancing and wound up with a stitch. Silly me - won't be doing that again! Came home and did some exercise (after eating a yoghurt and banana - thought I'd learned that lesson) so at least did something about it all. Weird. Oh well, just one of those days I guess.

I'm off to the dentist this arvo which will be interesting. I do like my dentist, but he keeps wanting to do things to my teeth (which have been fine for 28 years thanks very much). He's looked after me since 1981 though so I trust him. After that (numb and all) I'm off to a friend's place for dinner which should be good for a catch-up. I'm planning an early night though, with much sleep to be had by all.

WI Today - and just because it's Wednesday

I've been feeling a bit "blah" the last week. I've been really tired for no reason and getting heaps of sleep. Non-specific symptoms of nothing except tiredness I think.

Aside from that, life is good. Baseball is ok despite the team being mixed and the comp being men's, indoor cricket is good, work is busy - the way I like it.

WI was today and I'm down 0.4 to 71.2kg. So I'm getting back to Goal for the end of maintenance - 2 weeks time. Excellent.

post-Goal photos

My friend the lovely Tash took the bottom one - she has a penchant for photos on an angle! But I think it's a pretty nice shot.

Lordy, I still have the boobs don't I. Can't wait to lose a bit of them! I bought the dress I'm wearing on the left the day of the photos (yesterday). I really like it. First dress I've bought since my wedding dress! It'll go really well with long boots. And for only $30, how can you go wrong? Hubby likes it too.

Thought you could compare it to the last dress I bought... June 2006.

Dandy Dash Pic

Here's me working my butt off at the Dandy Dash - thanks to the Dandy Dash website for the photo! I believe this is the last hill so I'm overtaking a few people here, feeling good - after the knee had come good.

WI was today, up 0.1 so nothing really. I had a couple of really nice nights out and am looking to get back under Goal next week. I'm off to a friend's place (Dana) to have some photos taken on Thursday for my official Goal pics. I'll have them up on here hopefully Friday.

Photo update

My boss was playing with the camera at work the other day and took a snap of me. Thought I'd post it here. Bit of a change in the face! I really should get on to taking some photos post-Goal!

I've been feeling crap the last couple of days. Really bad headaches and a sore throat. I haven't been sick for ages! I wound up taking some valium last night because it was feeling like muscle spasm headaches and now I'm a bit spacey. Food and exercise-wise it's been a pretty good week. But the scales are not being kind. I'll weigh in tomorrow regardless, but I wish my body would get its act together and look after me! I'm trying really hard to look after it!!!! Anyway, will update after WI tomorrow.
