YUCK YUCK YUCK I gained

OMG - I gained weight this week.

When i look at it I think to myself "hey it is only .3 what are you on about?" but with all the hard work you do it is rather deflating - but i know where I went wrong and will remedy that this week - in fact I already have.

Bella thanks for your kind words, we are back on track now -how the hell we will get to lose 10 ks by the end of June I will never know but we have to try.

Jen - thanks for all your inspiration - you just have to get into that Eagles shirt and then you can come and see them beat Carlton and so they should too. LOL. I am a bombers supporter.

OK, I am in my dressing gown scouring the boards -s 0 I will get on my wlaking gear and go and do my walk - speak soon

Sunday morning

OK - I thought I would check the measurements this morning - I have seen a few posts where some people didn't lose weight but lost in cms instead - so I thought I would give it a go.

the results were as posted I lost over all 25 cms in a month - this has got to be good yes?????

So, feeling better now - and can only hope I will lose tomorrow.

the talk on the scales this week made me think about mine - we only just bought them in Safeway - different weight every day ( I am a daily weigher) _ I told my hubbie he suggests we get a pair of the Tania ( I think that is them) pair - what a man - he really is totally behinbd this weight loss thing and he is also ready to go down in portion sizes as well. woooohooooo - different results next week for sure.

Thanks for the lift up Bella it helped a lot - I will check those portion sizes and also the water intake, exercise is fine -it must be the eating - thanks for the tip - when you get low you don't think of those things do you? I hope I can help someone else in these circumstances sometime.


Until tomorrow

I am low very low

I am gaining weight I am not losing weight.

It seems all that i do I am gaining weight - at the beginning of this journey I was losing fast now all I do is lose either a little bit etc. but this time I think I am going gain weight - I am losing this battle and I feel very very low.

To get out of this mood I usually say to myself - Ok today is another day - we can conquer this - but today my hubbie and I have to help some people move some pebbles (rocks) and champagne and nibblies is on offer and I am going to find that very very hard.

I spent yesterday making soups and pasties so that we will have some decent food in the house but all my effforts seeme to have been thwarted now.

Oh - woe is me - I feel like giving up this effort. What is the use?

I will come back when I feel better .

updating me

Today I had a rest from exercise - yesterday I did 10,000 steps again and tomorrow I will go to the gym and who knows maybe that walk like I did on Monday.

I was taken out for lunch today by my hubbie and our best friend we had a wonderful day and a great lunch but get this - after lunch we went past an Artist's Galkery which I love and our friend liked quite a few pieces in there. When asked if he was going to buy some his reply was NO! I have a birthday coming up soon. Hmppfffffff His birthday is in September - he was giving me hints for what to buy him in September my goodness what a hide!!!! Gotta love him though he has been a mate for some time now.

Speak soon

OK - I did my walk - thank goodness 5010 steps 3.50 distance in 36.50 minutes

that is my starting point - i will see if i can better that in the next few weeks

OK - now down to work ...................

an update

It's Wednesday morning not Tuesday evening.

Oooooh it was lovely to get on here this morning and have 2 comments on my blog thanks girls it really gives me something to get up to in the morning. I will return - thank you

I am sitting here on this puter tossing whether to go for a walk or go to the gym today. I will have to get myself motivated shortly or I won't do either . OK - I ahvge decided - i will walk and I will try and walk furhter than I have in the past - I will track it with my pedometer. Will come back on her after and see how far I have walked.

I have a big day ahead of me - I have stacks of writing up to do for clients - I have a client at 4.30 and a tutorial to do for 14 ladies this evening.

Either way I need to do something this morning as I won't have time later today.

Ok, now I know that my weight is slowly coming off and not fast and I think I have nearly resigned myself to that now - but I still have the FLAP smaller than it was but is STILL there.

My hubbie keeps telling me it is shrinking but I think he is just being kind.

Until after the walk......... sounds like a song doesn't it??

Weigh In Monday

OK, I weighed in today. I lost .3

I am sort of disappointed with the result as i wanted to lose more and I watched what I ate even though I didn't exercise.

As the pattern goes though when i get vsck into exercise I reckon I might lose more this week as there will be a bit to lose from the last weeks.

That's my theory anyway.

So, I ahve lost 1.7 on this 10kg challenge by the end of June - I thought I would be further along by now

Oh woe is me !!!!!!!!! At least I lsot - not gained!!!!!!!!

Until tomorrow ........................

I'm back

Ok - I went for a walk today - a BIG walk - I did it !!!! I am proud, very proud.

I think I need to new runners or walking shoes - the arches of my feet really hurt after the walk - everything else is fine now - it wasn't before - it really hurt.

So, I will look around for new shoes - and then I will have to break them in and stuff - oh woe is me!!!!

I am feeling better now - back on tracjk - but with all this non - exercise - i don't think I will lose any weight this week, in fact I think I will put on weight - I am NOT looking forward to that.

Ok- speak soon - have a lovely week everyone

speak soon

I went to the gym

OK - I went to the gym today and did my whole work out except for the cardio.

I was pleased with that effort as I ahd not been able to exercise for some time this week. I feel as if I have gone backwards in my exercise - but it is understandable considereing how sick I ahve been.

I look back now and can see that i was sicker than I thought I was.

but that is the past and on we go to the future of losing weight.

I was going really well with the eating over the easter break until someone gave me an easter egg on the monday and from then I have been craving chocolate since - it has been months since I had some and now I am craving it.

Oh!!! Well I am going to put it down to - that was then - just get back on the bike and we will see what we can achieve.

Until next time ..........

Still there slightly but getting better

Why do these bugs or cold or whatever they are last for over a week these days??

In my early days (now i sound old) you had them for a few days and then off you go back into your life. These days they drag you down for a week and then you take a week to get your strength back .

Oh poor me !!!!!!

OK - Rob and I are going to the gym now - by the sound of it - he just came in

I will continue this tomorrow

I'm better today

Yes I'm better today. I hope it lasts.

I went to my Personal Training today and got through it - glad that I did.

But by this afternoon I crashed and had to have a nanna nap -- poooor Ros.

But my hubbie let me get out of reception duty and I was able to rest - love him to bits I do.

So, I will walk in the morning - my 3.3 ks and have signed up for 5 more Persaonl Training sessions. I need to keep going with the 10 ks b4 e/o June.

Had a BIG meal tonight - had to eat the rest of the BBQ from yesterday - but it was yummmmmm

until then.................................

feeling better but not quite there yet

Well we have had the guest over - went well - my cheesecake went down well as did the Rippa Rissoles - recipes were even asked for.

I started to flag about the end of the afternoon as I felt the noise level got higher and my head started to pound - ot usre if it was the noise level or just my head - but easing now.

Ok - so, for the weigh in today I lsot 600gm - better than i thought - I am going to start to record the weight loss on here just as soon as I find out how to do it.

OK, going to rest now - I ahve PT tomorrow so will try and get enough rest to cope with that.

until then

I had to do something for Easter

OK - I went out today(first time all easter) - we went to "Docklands" with a very dear friend - we needed to catch up with this man - and he lives in the city so we (my hubbie and I ) suggested we go and see docklands of which we hadn't seen before - BTW we loved it and will frequent there again soon. It was a lovely day in Melbourne for a change so lapped it up.

We found a lovely restaurant - Greek food - Saganaki Restaurant and enjoyed the aftenoon very very much.

Up to then I was doing Ok - but with having a glass of wine and the end of my cold I started to flag on the walk afterwards.

When we arrived home I immediately went and had a nap = boy oh boy did I need it. I had no energy at all.

I have been pretty good food wise this week but I haven't exercised - I am not looking forward to WI tomorrow as my scales tell me I haven't lost.

When I weigh at home it is usually 1 kg under what I weigh with clothes on ( no matter what clothes I wear) at Weight Watchers - so no differnece so far - we will see tomorrow.

I am a bit disappointed that our mate had not seen a differnce in my weight today. I had to tell him and as soon as I did - he had another story of someone in his family who had lsot double of what i had lost - I went down way down becasue of that - but my hubbie was supportive and i feel much much better now - especially after that sleep.

OK, we have guests tomorrow and I ahve made a WW baked cheesecake - it is colling as we speak - so will serve that tomorrow as planned- I am also serving rippa rissoles -we love them - so hope our guests do also.

until nex time

I've got a cold

I thought I had a cold the other day and low and behold it got a hold on me.

I think it is just a cold - I am Ok during the day a little bit more tired than usual but able to cope but at night I flag very easily - it is when the cold night starts to set in - that's when I start to feel flemmy and yuck!!!!

But, I am still sticking to the weight watchers plan and still on my goal to lose 10 kgs by the end of June - that woudl be awesome if I could I would eb over 1/2 way if I did.

Summer here I come - new shorts wooohooo - I can see it already.

Today is Good Friday - my hubbie and I a lot of plans to do over this break. The most solid plan is to have some freinds over for lunch on the Monday but other than that we will see what we get up to.

We had talked about going in to the city and seeing the new resaturants and shops at the extension of Southbank - the name escapes me right now - will let you know if an when we go.

We will see at the moment I am feeling like I wnat to go back to bed but every time I jsut about go to sleep the lady next door yells at her kids and I wake up with a jump.

OK- will up date this when and if we do something this easter weekend.

exercise exercise exercise

Funny how you learn new things.

I had just written a really good post and then saved it - (God knows where to) and not publised it. I think it has gone into cyberspace now.

Any wayIi over did the exercise today I double up - did my BIG 3.3 kms this morning then hubbie said come on we are going to the gym - I went but flagged half way - I have been feeling like I have a cold ever since. Maybe I do - we will see in the morning.

10 kilos by the end of June challenge - I can do this - I really can - I just have keep building on what I have already done.

Food wise was good today but water not so good

I will see what happens by Monday when i weigh in. Whewww the mentality of it all - trying to work it all out is hard work

I reached the 5% goal and into double figures wooooohooooo

Yep I did it. It took me far longer than i thought I would but yes I made a goal - 5% of my weight off never to come back again.

I have felt much better in myself of late as I have been exercising 6 days a week- doing some sort of exercise each day. I find I need to do this as it keeps my ligaments nimble and I find i can do more things if i exercise more.

I have a Personal Trainer now - sandy - she teaches me where my limits are and I ahve to tell you she is very very patient with me.

Some people are starting to notice my weightloss - I don't know if it is that they know I am on Weight Watchers or that they really see a difference. But when they do comment I sort of shy away from the comments as i don't see a big result myself as yet.

OK, I will post some pics soon - let me lose a bit more weight and you will be able to see a difference in the weightloss.

I love this BLOG - it gives me a chance to whinge and brag - what else could a girl ask for ??

CYA soon
