Weigh In Results - Thursday 27 Jan 2011 and Couch to 5k update

Hey guys!  I have been meaning to blog but kept getting caught up in reading everyone else's updates ;)

I weighed in at WW last Thursday.  I lost 3.5lbs!!  I was ecstatic!  I thought I was heading for a 2lb loss but was delightfully surprised that it was almost double.

I finished my first week of Couch to 5k on Sunday afternoon!  I felt great doing this workout again.  I ran faster and kept my incline at 2%.  I did slow down on my walking bits, as I read on someones blog (I can't remember whose it was!) that if it is feeling too much to walk a bit slower.  So I did!  Which helped me run faster - yay!

I was going to start Week 2 today, but work got in the way and I had to work late.  Blah!  I am hoping to go on Thursday and get it started!

My eating the last couple of days has been baad.  I have been eating far too many sweet things, cakey things and chocolate cookies!  BAD, BAD, BAD!!  Why do I feel I need to eat this crap??  I don't know why but I really need to figure this out.  Or I'll just keep losing and gaining the same 5lbs over and over again!

Anyway, I don't really have much else going on just now - going to walk Molly and try and get to bed earlier tonight!  My goals I set last week haven't really been met............I need to start focussing on me and taking care of myself.

Oh, and a big hello to my new followers!  Welcome!

Three time's the charm!

This is my third day blogging in a row! Yay! Go me! And not only that, but I went to the gym todaaaay! I had a personal training session and it was fabulous. I didn't mean to sound so down about my trainer in my recent post. I suppose I was looking for my "downfall" to be someone else's fault, when in fact it is I that has control over ME. I know ME better than anyone and I suppose I was trying to make it sound like it was the trainer's fault I came off my diet. She told me to eat HEALTHY, and not obsess about every little thing I put in my mouth. But I used that as an excuse to go absolutely nuts! I spoke with her about it today and she was very supportive. She is actually going back to college to study Psychology and said to come back and see her in 4 years when she will be able to tell me what's wrong with me! lol

Aaanyway! I had a great training session and I felt so much better - isn't that an amazing thing??? Exercise makes you feel gooood! And I think it helps when you look in the mirror - you somehow see a smaller you. Well I do anyway!

Tomorrow my diet will be CLEAN! I had a few slips today, but I caught myself in time and I have just thrown a pile of CRAP in the bin! No more of that stuff is going in this body! I have had a headache almost everyday since I came off my healthy eating regime. I know how to feel good and it's only a few healthy meals away!

I really need to start setting some mini goals again to help give me focus. I have 5 and a half weeks before my vacation!! Yikes! I know I won't get to my final goal weight by then, but I know that exercising and eating right will help me feel more confident and good about myself and I suppose that's the main thing at the moment!

So - here are my mini goals for tomorrow!

1. Drink at least 4 bottles of water (500ml size!) so that will be 2 litres!

2. Wear my Fit Flops around the house and when walking the dog.

3. Eat at least 3 servings of fruit and veg.

4. NO DIET SODA!!

5. Exercise for at least 30 minutes (probably running on the treadmill!)

6. Take some photographs :-)

7. Get up tomorrow at 7.30am (I am flexi time and lately I have been getting up waaay too late - about 9am!! - I am a lazy biotch!)

8. Go grocery shopping for healthy food!

9. Watch "Charmed" - this one will be easy!

10. Get to bed earlier!!

11. Track what I am eating.

Amelia, thanks for your comment! I know exactly how you feel. I don't if there is any liberation from the insanity! I suppose it's down to choice - we are choosing what we are eating - even though we know it's wrong! Maybe making more good choices than bad ones will eventually beat it?! - good for you for throwing the ice cream away - it's hard to do but you feel a million times better for having done it! I hope I find the answer to it one day - if I do I'll let you know!! :-)

Christina - the poppy seed dressing is amazing!! Sooo good!! You will not be disappointed!

Ok, I think I better get to bed if I have to be up for half 7!! Ha ha!!

Goodnight :-D
