It's called avoidance ...

I haven't posted for a while, simply because I've been avoiding the weight issue. Last week I GAINED 0.9kg, and this week I was expecting much of the same. I did lose, but only 0.2kg. I've packed my lunch for tomorrow with lots of fruit, yoghurt and healthy stuff. Even packed some WW cookies for if I get the munchies. I'm tackling this head-on again, coz I want to go DOWN the scales, not go up!
According to my graph, I'm still on track, but not nearly as ahead as I would like to be. I'll update that piccy soon, just couldn't be bothered right now.
Tomorrow I'm going for a walk with Stace, and we've decided that we're walking the hills, running (huh???) the straight, walking the bend, running the straight again (double huh???) then walking the hills again. Just to shake things up, and hopefully get things moving. Daemien (Stacey's hubby) has worked out a program for us on his home gym, so we are going to give that a burl on the weekend - will let you know how that goes.
On the flip-side, I found my fat-pants. These are pants that were comfy when I was at my biggest. I'll pop a photo on tomorrow of this. It was about 18kg or so ago, so there is a huge difference between a size 22 and a size 16 (creeping back up to 18), and Mick can't even remember these pants - but I surely do!
On the netball front: we had our quarter-finals last night. We played a team that are on average about 10 years younger than us! It was a fast and hard game, with lots of grunting and sweating. It was even through most of the game, but they beat us by 4 goals. We get another shot next week (happens to be my birthday on that day), then I reckon if we win that, we'll be playing the pre-adolescent team yet again. All we can do is give it a go, but probably not good that I'm fairly certain we'll lose - they're just so quick!
Anyway, gotta go do some uni stuff, and I will pop that photo on tomorrow. Noticed there's not enough photos.
Cheers big ears!

I went to Just Jeans and ...

On Saturday I went to Just Jeans and ... bought size 16!!! I have not been a size 16 (and I mean a true size 16) for about 10 years! I was sooooo excited. I bought to t-shirts, one top and a pair of jeans, and they were all size 16! Anyone would think I was happy about this!
On a more upsetting note, I have had an awful weekend WW wise. I went out for dinner on Friday and Saturday wasn't too bad, but I hadn't walked for what seemed like ages. Sunday was alright, except for the bottle of champers I had (mum had the other bottle), and yet again no excercise. Today started well with a 5-6km walk, which was promptly followed by a big plate of bar-be-qued bacon, eggs, sausages and hashbrowns. Followed by a cheese sandwich for lunch, and chocky cake and kabana - obviously not eaten together - for arvo tea. Needless to say my tummy is not a happy camper, the scales will protest on Wednesday, and I'm going to have to work my butt off tonight and tomorrow walking and at netball!

I went out last night...

Believe it or not, Mick & I actually got to go out last night without the kids! Aunty Bec looked after the girls, and Baylee even got to stay the night. She was very happy with that!
We went out to the Riverdeck Cafe, for Owen's farewell dinner for work. Owie has worked at the Dept for over 20yrs, and he's got another job, so we all went out. It was lovely, but NOT weight-watchers friendly! Never mind the 6 UDL's I drank, lets just consider the entree and dessert we had. It started off with bruscetta with fetta cheese on ciabatta bread. Not to mention the deepfried prawns and sea-food spring rolls! Because it was a platter to share, I just didn't have an idea of how much I ate! Also, dessert was a choc pudding with double-cream on the side. I really did indulge, but I figure we don't go out much, and it was a set menu at on $30 a head. Very reasonable, and absolutely delicious.
Can't even go for a walk tonight, I'm babysitting my godson, so I'll just have to pop him in a pram and pound the pavement that way!
I got heaps of compliments last night which was nice. Wore black slacks (are the smallest in my cupboard and they were actually falling off) and a green tank-top thing. Much more revealing and clingy than I usually wear, and I was really selfconscious of the bingo arms, but everyone commented on how much weight I had lost! It was overall a great night, but we didn't get home til 11.30 after picking up Kaiden. Very tired today, I'll just have to make sure I fit in some walking today sometime.

Another loss

Another loss for me - .5kg this week.
I'm quite happy with that, coz this week hasn't been great. Despite the Raid (which I obviously didn't update daily like planned), I went a bit off the rails, but that happens some times.
I think I needed to have a really crap week so that I could pull up my boots, and just start afresh!
So, that means that as of today, my weight is 90.4kg. I still have .8kg left to get to my 10%. This is my goal for this week.
