My Apoligies!!!!! LOL!!
Oooops!!! That picture is not meant to be that big!! Don't know how I did that!! (Have never been good at putting pictures in here)
December 2009
It has been almost 18 months since I started on this WW journey and since I started this blog. I know I don't post very often but I do check in here every month or so and read over my thoughts to remind me of how far I have come. I still get comments from people asking if I have lost "more" weight and usually I say "no- I don't think so" but then I remember that 12 months ago (when I considered myself at goal) I was around 57kgs and now I am between 54-55 so it must be noticeable.
These past couple of weeks I have been trying to track again to get my weight back under 54. I am trying to get that buffer back before Christmas because I am worried I may be up around 56kgs by the end of December. It went ok for a week and since then I haven't been tracking. I also tried to get back into the treadmill which I used to love but have only been on once. I am just finding I don't have spare time anymore as now I am selling Intimo Lingerie and that is taking up 2-3 nights a week and some time most days. No excuse I know- I just need to make the time.
Yesterday I had to make a slice for school and I ate about 4 pieces!!! THIS is why I don't bake!!!! My poor children don't get many home baked treats because their mummy can't control herself!! Isn't that terrible!

Have been a bit off track lately
Well- I know I neglected to come in and post how my 55kg goal went so thought it about time I posted on here regardless of my weight today.
I did make 55kg's- It took me 9 weeks to get from 57.6kgs to 54.7kgs, actually after I got into the 54's, I even got into the 53's not really trying to- but now after a few weekends away and then a couple of weeks of really bad eating I am back up to 55.5.
I am not worried about that number but I am worried about how I have been eating lately and when I do allow myself a treat like a chocolate biscuit, I don't stop at one, I may even have 3. And then its like the rest of the day I feel like I may as well eat anything I feel like coz I have already had 3 chocolate biscuits. If I don't stop eating this way I will be back at 57 before I know it. So this week I am back to counting points and will be aiming for the 54's again, I just need to start writing my food down again so that I don't over eat and so that I get back on track before I do any real damage and undo all the hard work.
Just by posting in here has helped and writing down that it took 9 weeks to lose 3 kilos. It takes too long to get off considering I think I have put on probably a kilo a week in the last 2 weeks.
Hmmmmm..... sorry for the ramble if anyone is actually reading this!

Weekend blowouts
Well- I was on track towards my goal of 55kgs on Friday morning when I weighed in at 56.3! Only 1.3kgs to goal!
That is until I went away for the weekend to celebrate a close friends 30th birthday. I enjoyed 2 nights away in Sorrento with close friends with no children. Was trying to be good (although not actually counting points) went for a run on the Saturday morning, earned more bonus points shopping with the girls and even chose wisely at lunch and dinner. Lunch was at the pub where I ordered chicken and vege soup (despite one friend rolling her eyes at my choice- what is with that anyway?) and then dinner I ordered an entree of prawns- can't even remember what it was served with though but it wasn't bad! (Too many afternoon wines while we were preparing to go out for dinner and lets just say by dinner time I was onto the water.)
So this morning my scales are saying 57.9!!! A weekend gain of 1.6kgs!!! Bad- but I am hoping by flushing my system with water and eating low point meals today topped off with a run I might be able to undo the damage by WI day and get back to 56.3- then it will be all downhill as I have no social outings for 2 weeks.
Will let you know how I go!!

New goal of 55kgs!!
So now I have written the number down- I will get there!!!!
For a while now I have been thinking I would like to get down to 55kgs. I am happy where I am at the moment but I find I can fluctuate up to 58kgs very easily after a couple of weeks of bad eating. I don't like 58kgs!!!
So I figure if I get down to 55kgs I can fluctuate up to 57 if I have a busy social calander and still be comfortable in my clothes. I know that sounds so bad but I find I relax a lot on weekends and then am working all week to get back to where I was. Like the start of this week on Monday I was 58.4 (after Easter a couple big weekends) After just 3 days of tracking, drinking water and exercising like a mad woman, the scales are at 57 this morning.
So this is the start of yet another WW journey (does it ever end?) and I have a new goal of 55kgs by end of April!!
Will post again soon

2 months into 2009
OMG!! Its March already and I haven't blogged in here since before Christmas.
I actually managed to get through Christmas not too badly. Everey weekend for the month leading up to Christmas day we were travelling back home to various Christmas parties with various family groups. So each weekend I would be eating and drinking large amounts of food and drink. This went on for a couple of weeks without me doing to much damage until a week or so after Christmas and New Year and the scales were creeping up very close to 59!? And my boardies were tight around my thighs and bum.
So back on the WW wagon to try and get back down again. After the first week I lost 200g and then the next week 200g again! Not quick enough!! It took this to realise if I wanted to get this weight off me quickly- I needed to stop drinking 2 bottles of wine every weekend (which was basically a direct result of summer and being too social!) Anyway I cut out the wine for a couple of weeks and got on the wagon good and proper and within a couple of weeks I was weighing in at 56.0!!
Today I am 56.9 which isn't too bad considering 2 days ago after a week of being bad I weighed 58!!
So basically I am managing to maintain the weight pretty well. I just make sure I weigh myself every day so that it doesn't creep on without me knowing. As soon as it starts creeping up thats when I need to take control again!! Before it gets too hard to lose.
