Bad Result

I don't what is going on at the moment in my head, but it is being REALLY unhelpful at the moment! Yesterday I couldn't stop shovelling food into my gob, even though after a bit I just wasn't hungry. Lesson learnt- I am a boredom eater! I weighed in at 68.5 kg- 1.5kg up on last week. My mitigating circumstance is that I got my period this morning, which could account for a bit of the gain, and a lot of the munchie attack :)

I have a challenge this week as it looks like I will travelling away for work for this week and maybe into next week. I'll be staying at my sister's, but will have to make sure that despite the fact I am away from my normal routine, that I make the best choices possible. I'll go do my own grocery shop, and my sister will take me to her gym.

I had a really good weekend other than my food slip ups! Went for some fabulous shopping in the city with Miss Donna, and met Emma and her mate Hannah- lots of fun!!! Not only was it fun, but extremely productive- I managed to get nearly all the accessories for my Gundy Ball outfit. And then I met my boy in Parramatta for drinks and a lovely Italian meal- ohhh romantic!

I am getting to the "sick of stuffing around" stage again... I guess I lost a lot of motivation since I have got to my WW goal. But this up and down business is doing my head in... I have a goal for this week: do 6 x 30 min of full-on cardio work. I have made cardio less of a priority of late, but that is ultimately what is going to get me to the weight I want to be and keep me there. Watch this space!

Good result

Just a quick post to let you know I weighed in at 67kg- so lost 2.5kg for the week, and back in front of my goal weight by a kg, and also a kg down for the Xmas Countdown!! Yay! I have this theory that if I can just be really good this week, consolidate the loss and maybe lose a little more, I will never be over my WW goal weight again.... unless I completely lose the plot of course! Good theory? Wish me some will power!

Good week! Oh, and I am a crap swimmer!

I've had a really good week this week food-wise and exercise-wise, so I am pretty excited about tomorrow's weigh-in. Its the first time in ages that I have really been committed to my food plan, especially on the weekend. My weekends have bloody atrocious lately! So while I have strayed a little off my plan this weekend, its still been light years better than what it has been!

Yesterday I went to the local aquatic centre and swam laps... I was awful!!! It just goes to show even though you might have a high level of fitness in one activity, that doesn't necessarily translate to another activity. The fear of drowning is such a great motivation to finish swimming a lap ;) I have never been a strong swimmer, but I would consider myself "competant" ie I can float and not drown... but after I'd done a few laps and started getting tired I inhaled so much bloody horrible chlorinated water! I managed to do a 30 min session of 12 laps alternating between freestyle, breastroke and backstroke, with lots of recovery in between each lap! I reckon this could be my new challenge, cause I was that bad I can only get better :) The fact I was so knackered must have meant it was a great workout!

How skinny am I!!!!

Okay Jenn, I feel sufficiently guilty enough to stop being so lazy and write a post :) The above pic was taken a couple of weekends ago when Mum and Dad came to visit. Scoop won't be happy I posted this as he reckon he looks ill, but I really like it... especially for the fact I keep looking at it in astonishment at what I look like! I look so skinny even if I'm wearing horizontal stripes!

One of the reasons I haven't posted is that this week gone I gained a whole kg... but this week is looking up and I was naughty and snuck a peek (yes Jenn, me too- psychic sisters strike again!) and I was down 1.5kg back down to goal... just have stick to my guns and be good the rest of the week, I'll back on track!!!!

One reason that things have got easier for me is that my darling boy Scoop has jumped on the healthy living bandwagon as of this week. He has started cutting back on the bad food and started the Couch to 5km program, so its happy days in the Cooper/Moran household! It makes healthy eating so much easier when you and your partner want to eat the same good things... no chocolate, ice cream or chips to try and dodge!!!
