Week 1

Well I survived the first week and acheived a 400gm loss.   Par for the course, my weight loss has always been small losses per week.  This has always been a challenge for me (a real head thing), however I know that slowly, slowly I can acheive the results I want - I just need to keep going and never give up!!

On reflection, my effort for this first week was only really about 65% - so a 400gm loss is GREAT.  My exercise plan lifted off last weekend but then took a nose dive for the rest of the week as I did not get out again.   My water and food were so/so..... 

Anyway onwards we go.... Since Friday I am going great guns and have been on track -  exercising, eating well (within my points allowance) and also my water have been excellent up to 2ltrs per day. Go Me :)

I spoke with my DD2 tonight (who now lives in Brisbane) and by the way is having a baby (their 1st)  how dear she do that and live so far away heheheh.  Anyway I was over in January for a long weekend and I am going back again on the 11th March for a few days.   They are moving house and tonight she asked me if I would like to come over as she has her 2nd Baby Scan on the Thursday and she asked if I would like to be there .... WooHoo as they will find out the sex.   Also I will get to help them settle into their new house - meaning I will get to help unpack! Loving it...

So I am all booked - over on Thursday 11th returning Sunday 14th!    .... time for some serious baby shopping I believe.  

Just so excited!  Can you tell.

Weekend exercise

I liked this :)

Well, after much procrastinating I went back to WW this week.....  I just haven't been able to find the 'click' for over 6 months.  My weight although stablised (still 4.6kg above my goal weight) seems to have re-distrubuted itself and I am struggling with how my clothes are fitting.  After many weeks of "weighing" up the pros and cons the overriding conclusion was the times I am successful is when I am accountable and going to meetings seemed to acheive this for me.

I am fortunate that the meeting I go to have wonderful staff - who have been there for a number of years.  They still remember me :)...

So it is back to having more focus and being accountable.  The accountability is also to update my blog with how things are going each week.

Exercise:   My goal for this week is to do some regular exercise and this weekend I made a great start.   Saturday - usual morning walk however for 1.5hrs and then a hike up into the Waitakere Ranges today (3.5hrs - with 1hr up hill)

Food and Water Intake.... ummm not so great, however small steps as I am trying to beat my sugar carvings and  my addiction to Diet Coke (only have had 3 cans since Wednesday!).

So yes I am back!  So time to get organised for the Week.....
