busy week

Hey all, i havent had much time to get to the computer this week. At work, its too hard as i am pretty busy and at home hubby has been using the computer every minute as he has had an exam.
Well this week consisted of a pretty shitty week, get my ass blown up for just doing my job, but lease my direct boss backed me up, and said i was doing a great job. Any way enough of work its the weekend and i dont have to think about work for atleast another 20 hours or something like that.
i have been pretty good the last few days i have keeped with in my points about 20-23 points. but i have had about 3 points of chocolate the last few days also. OOPS oh well, sometimes this happens, and also on wednesday when i had my really bad day, i got KFC. When i used to have really bad days at work i would get KFC on the way home, but i would get 3 strips, large fries and large pepsi. on wednesday i got KFC but i only got the 3 strips (9.5 points) and went home and added salad with it and a drink and managed to not go over my 23 points. A bit naughty, but i managed to control myself. so there was no guilt in doing that.
The last 2 days i havent done any exercise except walk up town and back, which takes about 10mins, cos it has been pouring here which is great. I live about 20 mins outside goulburn and they are really affected by the drought and need the rain badly. Lucky my little town of Marulan has there own water suppy and only 5000 people to drink it.
Well i guess i better go and get out of my PJ's and organise my self for the day. the plan is to clean the house, do the washing and go and take ACe (dog) for a walk (if its raining i WILL ride my exercise bike for 30 mins)
Talk later.

Points

Hey all, thanks for all your comments and support, yeah i thought i hadn't eaten enough points wise, but i felt like i ate a lot. except everything i ate was pretty low in points. like the big bowl of free soup. (yummy) I thought i was a bit low, i have been averaging about 19 to about 23/24points, just didnt manage it yesterday
today i have had a pretty good day, work was good and i have had a full day of food. 20 points out of my 23points allowed. All though i have been a bit slack on the exercise. i was going to go for a walk at lunch, but it was too cold so i rushed around town doing the things i needed to do for about 30mins. so i kinda got a bit of exercise in.
any ways just a quick message as hubby needs computer to study.
thanks again for the support

Walking

Today, well i had a pretty busy day at work. Lots of paper work. At lunch i was going to go for a walk but chose to do the shopping instead, brought lots of yummy food, vegies, fruit, and ww desserts. I have just finished a tub of nestle diet mousse, yum yum and only 1 point.
I finished early today because i started 15mins early so i thought i might go home 15 mins early. So off i drove to pick up hubby, but he doesnt finish til 5.30 so i dropped the car off at his work at 5pm, then said pick me up on the way home. i decided to start walking instead of waiting 30mins for him to finish. it was pretty good, i think i walked about 2 kms.
Today i started tracking in my WW tracker guide. so far today i have only had about 14.5 points. is this bad, or not enough. This is what i ate today
Brekky- optifast (protein drink) - was running late so its quick and easy and fills me up for hours (2)
Snacks - popcorn air popped (0.5), apple (1), mandarin(0.5), rice crackers (1)
Lunch - free soup and a piece of toast (2)
Dinner - Chicken Tenders (4), potato (2) and free vegies lots of them.
Dessert - Nestle diet mousse (1)
water 1.5L
and believe it or not im not hungry. I just not sure if your allowed to have that many points left over.
Anyways, im full and going to go off and watch tv.
catch you all later

Busy Little Girl

I have been a busy little girl today, that is after i got out of bed at about 10am, god i needed that sleep in. Yesterday at work i nearly feel asleep at my desk, because i had had 2 late nights in a row. Anyways after i got out of bed, i did the washing, mowed the lawn, took me about an hour, raked up some sticks and rode my exercise bike for 15 mins. I have just finished making the free soup from the weight watchers number one book and am about to sit down and try it, im a fussy eater so lets see how it goes.......Yum Yum, i like it, but i didnt put the zuchinni in yuk.
I am motivated and ready to lose weight. It was good the other night finding out my start weight so i can work out my mini goals. My first mini goal will be 5kg loss and when i get there i am going to treat my self to a eyebrow wax, its getting a bit bushy.
I am only going to go to WW every 2nd week, the reason for this is a few things, my sister only wants to go every 2nd and its a hassle thusday nights because the hubby has his band thing on thursday nights and the only way home is with him at about 11pm. But every second week is better then not at all.
Any way im going to finish my yummy soup. talk soon

First Meeting

Well last night was good, I meet up with my sister and we went to my first meeting. Everyone there that I meet seemed nice and the meeting was good and encouraging, we spoke about being ready willing and able to change our lifestyle and the way we think about life. It was good.
The moment of truth. I stood on the scales and was pleasantly surprised I weighed 105.7kg, so my guess of 105kg, and I know a few weeks ago I think I may have been a bit heavier cos I had to undo my button on my work pants. Its good to have a starting point so I know what I am up to. This week I am going to set my self some mini goals, to break down my big journey into some smaller goals. My goal weight needs to be between 69kg to 58kg. My personal goal is to get back to 75kg which is what I was 5 years ago when I first meet Dave. And when I reach 69kg I will decide on what I want to be. My first 10% loss puts me at 95.4kg. This will be one of my first goals. Thanks all again for your comments its great and encouraging.

today is the day

Hey all well today is the day, at 5.30 tonight i will be going to my fisrt weight watchers meeting. Hopefully i am not as high as i think i am. but least i will know where i am starting. well the night before i didnt have any desert, i looked at my options and decided i wasnt really hungry. But last night was a different story i had some doritos, yum yum. but still kept to my daily points so not to bad. any ways at work will let you know how i go tonight wish me luck and thanks for all the nice messages.

dessert - what do i want

Well today was pretty hectic, i work in the loans department and am suppose to be the paper work girl, and not the front girl so i dont have to deal with the members but unfortunately one of my co-workers was home looking after her son who has mumps. so i got all the other stuff to do today and none of my own work. oh well i guess its all part of the job...
anyways yet another day of being really good. i have only so far eaten 17 points and i am trying to decide what i want for dessert......yum yum. but what. i have 6 points to use, i could use them or leave them, big decision. nah i think i might just have a banana or a yogurt. yeah i will be a good girl... this is so unlike me, my hubby keeps saying he is so proud of me cos he is used to seeing me eat a few bags of chips or icecream. Here is something for ya, we went out to dinner and the movies last friday, where i had a small steak chips and salad, except i didnt eat 1 chip i put them all on daves plate. he couldnt believe it, usually i eat them first. but cos i didnt eat the chips i got to have my popcorn instead, cos you cant go to the movies with out popcorn, im a popcornaholic i love the stuff. but is still come in under points for the day.
anyways enough for now me going to see whats for dessert, will i have the banana or the yogurt.......

Thanks

Hello all, thanks to M, Emily, Sue and Kt for your messages.
It is good to have support.
Today i am just relaxing being the pulic holiday. However i am being a good girl, and not eating anything naughty.
Its lunch time and just about to go make my self a nice sandwich or something.
Anyway not much to report today. Husband is being boring as he has an exam tomorrow so he has his head in the books. He is studying agriculture via distance education through charles sturt uni. he is about half way through the degree. I work in a credit union in the loans department, job ok like all jobs i guess.
anyways will talk later.

The Week has come.......

Well this week is it, i am joining Weight Watchers. After talking to my sister, who has recently joined WW, but not really gone i have convinced her to go back and im am going to tag along so this Thursday 16th June 2005 will be my day to stand on those scales and see what i really weight (as the 105kg is only a guess from using my broken scales that reads about 10kg hevier after my husband and i tried to stand on them at the same time). Hopefully the moment of truth will be lighter than 105kg, but if its not then "I CAN DO IT" and lose a few more kilos. I want to get down to at least 75kg as that is what i was when i meet dave. (when i was working on a horse stud and walking about 5kms a day, but then i got a desk job and guess what my main lunch meal was ----yep macca's, yum yum). But i think my goal weight is around 55-67kg, so i will try try try, and i can do it. I have about 40kgs to loose and my D-Day is Thursday.
Wish me Luck.

Week One

Hi there,
this is my first week at going on a "Diet". I have decided that enough is enough and i am going to lose weight. I am sick of being sick and tired. I hate walking up the road and being short of breath and i really hate not being able to sleep at night cos i am worried about being "fat". So about a week and a half ago i borrowed my sisters weight watchers books and had a read. I started by my self last saturday and counted all my points and did some walking and i managed to feel good about my self and stay under my 161 points for the week. During the week i also turned 28 and ate cake.....
Well i will leave it there for today and try and work out how to use this blogger site so i can set up my journal.
