Saturday was the day that saw me reach a total of 7kgs lost so far on my journey. I have 8.5kgs to go to get to my personal goal of 70kgs. It has taken me 9 weeks to lose that 7kgs & I feel like I have worked so hard for each & every gram that I have lost. Some weeks I have had very small losses, one week I lost nothing, but most weeks I have lost around 500g per week. Given that equation I am giving myself 16 weeks to get to my personal goal of 70kg. The 30th Of July 2011 will be the date that I will weigh myself & be rewarded for the hard work, determination and commitment that I will have put in for the previous 16 weeks. I am going to stay focused. I am going to continue running & training with Brock. I am going to continue tracking & participating in challenges on here. I may need to step up my exercise but I think as I get better & better with my running that this will automatically happen anyway. The great thing about having a trainer is that he pushes me harder every week. I think I have my exercise under control. The one thing I need to get under control is my WEEKENDS! I really suck at weekends! I’ll give you an example of the last week end... It all starts on Friday night when we head to the tavern for a few drinks & to socialise. We had dinner there as well as it was a ‘kid free’ night, these are becoming far & few between! I ordered hot chips with gravy as I knew I could fit them into my PP. It’s not really a nutritious meal though is it? That coupled with the vodka was just a disaster! Saturday I woke up & it was cold & wet. All I wanted was something warm for breakfast. No food in the house (that I wanted to eat anyway!) so we went & got yummy things from the bakery. Lunch time I felt so guilty about the previous 2 meals so I went & bought a hot chicken & some fresh bread & salad. So although it was a high PP meal at least it was remotely healthy! Dinner was spit roasted beef mallet done over open coals with roasted vegetables & gravy. It was so delicious. Needless to say I went over my PP on Saturday! Not by many but I still used up some of my weekly points which I did NOT want to touch this week. Sunday was a much better day... mostly due to the guilts from the previous day! Except that I went the opposite way. By the time I went to the BBQ last night I still had 17pp to be used. I had prawns & salad, a piece of the roasted vegetable frittata I made (only 1pp per serve & DELICIOUS!!! Will post the recipe later) and some pumpkin that one of the neighbours had bought. Then DF’s mother bought out some yummy chicken wings which I had 2 of knowing that so far my dinner had only cost me 6pp. The desserts then came out. I was not tempted by the strudel, the ice cream, the custard or the fresh cream. However the mango sorbet caught my eye. I had a little bit of that & it was so yummy! When I got home I entered everything into my tracker. The chicken was very high in PP so that used up quite a chunk. The sorbet was actually very low in PP (luckily!) & I am going to get some for home so on those nights when I feel like a little sweet treat I can indulge practically guilt free! The problem with yesterday was that I didn’t track until I had eaten. So it was nothing but luck & a few good choices that saved me. I really need to get myself out of this pattern of eat first track later on weekends. I seem to eat SO much bread & bread products on the weekends too. I am sure if I can get this under control that I will drop some big numbers. Some numbers are better than no numbers but I have goals that I want to smash! I have rewards that I want to buy! I am obsessed- all I can think about now is the wedding & I want to buy that dress damn it!
