Got another charm

Well

Had a deal with Dh that if I got to 120 kgs on the scales then I could get another charm.

I had gained last week and got to 120.8 (from 119.9) so this morning I got there... I got to 119.7 kilos...

I think I needed that. It was supposed to be when I got back down to 118 that I got my next charm but it was doing my head in thinking I had so long until I got a reward.

So my charm today was "I love my boys".... so appropriate I reckon.

..............................................................

Last weigh in recorded: 120.8 kgs

Weight this week: 119.7 kgs

Hi Honey

I'm glad the charm has given you a little motivational kick in the pants. Hopefully you'll have another one in a few days, and before you know it I'll have to order another batch of them.

Luv, me

This weeks motto.... "CM you will not YoYo you will lose 2 weeks in a row"

Just a note to say: Thank you to my yahoo group buddies you have kept me going this week!! and also Lyn girl you know you have done right... it will show next week and thank you thank you for the support this week too.

Shame

Wanna a batch is a home that is by the beach that people have as a holiday home and isn't used as a home 24/7, and yeah feels like I was in on the scotch he he he but nope I was in to the wine big time.

I have been distracted this week with food. I have been tracking up until yesterday but not really wanting to do this... but wanting to do this... and with people not blogging much I am just feeling realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly overwelmed with all the food available at the holidays.

I think what I am going to do is let myself off until Monday when I go back to work and things are back to normal. I am going to track but I am not going to be strict on myself. I hate the pressure of having to start on the 1st of January a new life etc... it is like no no no it isn't me... I need a break. I am not going to go out and eat eat eat but I am not going ot be worried about having wine or alcohol or eggs for breakfast I am going to be me until Monday 7th January...

Weighed in this morning and Christmas has caught up on me but hey that is life and from Monday onward I am back to my routine.

I am not happy about the gain but I have to take the gain and that is that.

Silly bitch I am... how could I gain so much over 2 1/2 weeks but hey that is life aye..

I am really pleased with this loss!!!

I worked hard this week and worked hard at the gym.

I just want to make sure that I keep it up for next week and not do the yoyo I have been doing in the last two months and it has been that I have lost one week gained the next and there has to be a stop to that.

I have been believing in myself this week and believing in me and that I can do this for me and not because of anyone else but because I want this and I can do this....

This week is going to be more of the same. I have been a little bit naughty though this weekend because we went to Coromandel for a fishing trip with the kids and took the caravan up OMG the roads and a caravan do not mix arghhhhhh windy and smallllllll.

Will write more about the trip tomorrow.... when I have enough energy to.. as I am a bit tired tonight.

Love Chubbymum

Ok... I am happy that I lost 600 grams but I thought it would be more. I really thought I did better this week and it wasn't what I thought I should have lost. I understood my gain last week because of my monthly etc... I don't know little sad.

But that is fine I am going to get off my backside and get more off this week.. I don't want to yoyo anymore!!! I don't... getting really upset about it.

Got up and went to the gym this morning with hubby at 8.30am

Did the following:

1. Managed to do Went to the gym today. Ran on the treadmill for 1 minute 30 seconds at a time. Increased it by 30 seconds x 3. So happy with that.



2. Worked on my arms and thighs and spent a lot of time with heavier weights



3. Did some thigh crunchers on the inside and the outside of the thighs... made the mistake to go on the spin bike afterwards arghhhhhhh.



4. Went on the spin bike 30 seconds up 30 seconds down for 5 minutes. Great workout. Going again tomorrow. I have to get back in to my exercise

When I look at this it doesn't look like much but I worked me butt off and I sweated a lot too so that is great.

Came home had breakfast and then went up and thoroughly did over our bedroom and ensuite and got rid of a lot of stuff and cleaned and the kids helped too.

Pam and Brianna came over for lunch and we ate outside and then came in and made Xmas cards... it was fun. We went from 2 till 6 pm making cards OMG it went so fast we didn't realise the time. Now sitting here while hubby makes dinner... yummmmy.

It is our date night tonight so we are going out for a coffee and maybe get a video and come back and watch it... only because there is nothing on at the movies that we want to see but can't afford to go out SIGHHH but tha tis Christmas for ya... would rather spend the money on something else.

Now hubby and I are going out for the night woohoooo.... tell ya about it later.

Weigh in - 6 October 2007

Loss: 200 grams

Current weight: 119.1 kgs (Virgin woohooo)

Total loss from WW: 35.6 kgs

Total loss from start: 40.9

I am not unhappy about this loss. I haven't been to the gym all week and been really miserable and sick and I eat more when I am sick... had too much chocolate icecream... I think it is my comfort food when I have the flu because I want it like you wouldn't believe when I have a cold or flu and I let in to my cravings instead of keeping away. I have to make sure that I think about that next time I am sick and not succumb to it.

But it was a loss!!!

A loss is better than a gain and I have to lose it all again so that is ok with me. Consistancy is what I want.

This week I want to lose my 500 grams and get back to the gym.

Sunday - Gym - Work on lower body

Monday - Gym - Running on treadmill

Tuesday - Gym - Running on treadmill and upper body

Wednesday - Gym - Kickboxing.

So that is all I am willing to commit to so far but I am back to it from tomorrow.

I have changed my weigh in days to Saturdays as weekends are terrible for me and entertaining with summer coming up so I have made it for a Saturday and be really really good for the rest of the week. I was going to change to a Saturday the week before Leenie challenge but didn't because the challenge was given to me on the Monday so I tried to stick to that and OMG did that do my head in having the whole weekend worrying whether I was going to do it or not.

This morning we have spent the morning showing the kids about compasses and how they work so we did a little course in the front yard and they had to use the compass to get there and then they designed a course for us. I took pictures so this afternoon I will upload them and show you.

I think I have worked out what I can get them for xmas now because of the bloody basketball hoop being off the christmas list he he he... but they wanted to use my SLR camera today and I was very uncomfortable about it because it costs $1800 for my camera and in kids hands ohhhh noooo... so we are going to go out today and look for some digital cameras (cheap ones) for them both to have because they love taking photos so much. It will be good because then I am not going to be worried about my camera anymore and then we can go out on a photography day out and take photos... it will be good for summer.

Woohooo I love it when a plan comes together as my kids are hard to buy for that involves them getting their backsides outside. For Xmas we always try to get outside toys and things for them to do to get them away from the tv as it isn't good for them and OMG they are not going to be big like me and not want any exercise and not want to explore things...

So if any of you know of where I can get some reasonably cheap digital cameras for the boys please don't hesitate to tell me.. THANKS.

Will check in later and tell you about my day.

Total loss from start: 40.7

I have my monthly and I lost this week... soooo happy with that.

Aiming for 500 grams is soooo much better because I am not stressing and this week was resigned to gaining because of monthly so I took it all in my stride and I lost my 500 grams.

I am soooo happy and I am in Virgin again wohoooooo.... not going back!!! not going back!!!! I CAN'T go back to 120's... no more yoyoing.

2 weeks losses in a row... wohoooooo

Didn't yoyo this week and I was expecting it because of monthly so that is bloody brilliant.

Can ya tell I am happy!

Can ya

Weigh in day at home today:

Loss: 300 grams

Current weight: 119.8 kgs

Total loss from WW: 34.9 kgs

Total loss from start: 40.2

I am totally happy with this result this week. I have been going to the gym and doing weights and I had a huge weekend with food but managed to lose weight so I am pleased. I wished it would have been the 500 grams that I aimed for but with alcohol, weight training, celebrations a loss is fantastic.

This week has been wonderful in the fact that I haven't been worried about the scales and I have not been obsessing about my food.

I am sooo glad to be back at the gym and went last night and the gym was SOOOO full that we had to wait for equipment and we don't usually have to wait... and with that many people I don't usually jog on the treadmill as I hate being watched but thought FUCK this he he he and I jogged but I walked for 5 minutes and then for the remainding 10 minutes I did 30 secs run 30 walk and OMG did I feel great. An ex Weight Watcher buddy of mine came up and said it is soooo great to see you running and you look amazing so I felt like on cloud nine.

My exercise for Tuesday night was

• Treadmill 15 minutes (5 min walk, then 30 sec run, 30 sec walk for 10 more minutes woohoo)


• Triceps


• Biceps


• Quads


• Kickboxing with hubby, arms and legs


• Lateral Pull downs

I felt on fire... and my shoes are HEAVEN... did I mention that before??? HEAVEN and I don't feel my feet and I want to run run run woohoooooo..... even the last pair that I brought didn't make me feel this good and I didn't have sore knees going up to our bedroom up the stairs last night which I usually did with my other sneakers..

Watched Biggest Loser UK last night and had a wonderful phone call in the middle of it and said to the person...GEESH ringing me in the middle of B.L he he he hope the person realised I was teasing and it was great to get the phone call... but in the ad's I phoned them back... thanks for caring!!!

So is anyone else watching the BL? I just get such a buzz from it and want them to do more and more and more of it... gives me such a boost and such inspiration.

Thank you for your comments re my friend.

My friend UPDATE:(if you don't want to read I understand... thought I would warn you beforehand).

I think I have solved a little of the problem and said to my friend that if he doesn't want have anything to do with her we will work things out.

So on Monday's when he takes her to dance class and also my friend has her son's star soccer so I said I would pick the daughter up from dance class which I can go for a walk for anyway and bring her back to my place. So that means that she doesn't have to have Monday's be a day that she is scared her Dad is going to pick her up and moan all the way to school. Last week he picked her up and made her get dressed in her outfit in the car in front of 2 of the boys that are now his new family. I think that was disgusting for a 9 year old girl to have happen when she kept telling him she didn't want to....

He has changed so much and it is scary.

He won't phone but txts all the time and won't give her the phone number for his place or email so she can't tell him when things are happening in the kids life but he told the daughter that her mother doesn't bother to tell her when things are happening.

I have seen the texts and she has tried to tell him about things and he won't answer her so why should she bother... it is all beyond me this childish behaviour.

So anyway he text last night to say he had a production on at school on Wednesday with his work mates and wanted them both to come... it would finish at 10.30... so my friend waited 2 hours before replying (woohooo her) and said no they couldn't come she txt back saying

"Is this a joke. You are unbelievable. You have refused to have B unless she stays at night and not taking her to dancing. But want to show off at school. Pretend to be good dad with your new family. 2 late for kids. Pick up A on Mon outside my work at 9. Don’t wish to text you again tonight. Am over it"

I was sooo proud of her because she usually lets him have what he wants so that the kids get to see their dad and this time she had the balls to say no... and I can just imagine there are going to be reprocussions as he hasn't signed off the lawyers yet and is still not paying the mortgages and she is having to pay that and is also not paying any child support and said to her if she causes any more trouble she is going to claim for the kids that is living with him so that she gets even less.

Janene I said the same thing to her last night... if he can't take them both then he doesn't get the son. But she said she phoned a counsellor and they said it wouldn't be fair to the other child and so she agreed... sorry I wouldn't have agreed at all. The father is in the wrong and he has to know that he can't play one child off on the other and both of them would be staying home.

The 9 yr old said that last time she was there she was asked if she wanted to go with her Dad to placemakers or with the slut the supermarket by the slut and then her Dad said No girls go with the slut and boys with him... so there again she was shot down by her Dad and had to go with the slut when she has only just known her for a couple of weeks.... what is up with him.

I told my friend I was putting this in my blog but not mentioning names because I needed to vent as well and she was ok about this so don't fear I am not writing this without permission but I am not using names.

I am pleased with the scales this morning!!! SO SO SO pleased because I have been tracking and I am starting to tweak it now I reckon and seeing what I am doing maybe a little wrong and changing it.

Day Thirteen - L Challenge

Needless to say I am gutted that I have gained this week but I am being realistic as I know I have been good and I did lose (for me) a huge amount last week.

I am keeping on track (weight loss buddy knows this) and I am doing my exercise and so this week coming once my monthly is over I know it is going to change.

I am feeling good about the exercise and tracking at the moment and feel like I am finally back on a routine.

I have noticed that when eating my breakfast lately that I am getting full and usually breakfast's are terrible and I feel like I have never had enough so something is changing for me.

I did not give up last week and I am not going to give up this week because of what the scales say as I know I have been good.

That is all I have to say on the weight loss subject.

Anyway I am still gloating about yesterday's post with my beautiful beautiful boys and how great they did in soccer this year... how awesome is that.

Back at work today. As you all know I work 3 days a week but this week it is sort of like 4 days as I am going up to Auckland on Thursday (my day off) with some of the ladies from here for a course grrrrrr but hey I get paid for it and lunch gets paid so that is life aye.... it will be good to meet some of the other ladies up there too as I am always talking on the phone with them but never see them in person. Now the thing is what to wear he he he.

Anyway gotta get some work done.

Day Two LC - Rachel... I'm updating now he he

Ok Rachel... I am updating now.

I sat here this morning thinking what am I going to say on here today. I have to get back in the swing of blogging and not hiding what I am feeling.

Haven't gone quiet because I am doing bad or anything..

Just gone quiet because.... what do I write.

So anyway

Went to the gym last night and felt good about it. We only did 40 minutes but have decided that any gym session is better than none.

When I was 160 kilos I didn't want to go anywhere as I hated people seeing me and hated that they were looking at me... and last night while I was there I was reminded by a conversation I had with my trainer about a year ago that she said "you don't tug at your shirt as much anymore" I don't... and last night I did and I think that was the fact that I had to get back in the swing of things and realise that people aren't watching me and if they were too bad. I tugged at my shirt to make sure it was long enough as I hate my tummy sticking out.

So I have to get that feeling of not tugging back again and this challenge I think is going to be a great start.

So I did 15 minutes on the treadmill (3 incline and 5.6 speed) and I was happy with that. Then went and targeted my legs and did thighs, on three different machines (can't remember what they are called he he he) but felt quite wobbly when finished he he he and I also did the beach whale machine... OMG I feel like a beach whale when I am on this as you go on your tummy and lift your legs backwards (getting your gluts I think) but I hate it... getting on it is awkward and feeling like people are watching drives me insane but I know that is all in my head aye... and too bad on them.

Then we went and did some triceps and I upped my weights and OMG were they sore he he he and then did the cross trainer... so the 40 minutes was good and I was glad to be back on track with it again.

I did notice that not a lot of people I used to know is there anymore maybe they have given up.. not sure but it was sad as I quite like seeing some familiar faces. I did see two ladies there that were my size when I first started and kept thinking woohooooo you and wanted to go and tell them that but felt like it would be a bit pushy... might see them again one day and make eye contact. hmmmm

Jumped on those scales this morning and they said 121.1 kilos so since Monday I have gone from 121.6 to 121.1 so I am happy with that. I know that I shouldn't be getting on the scales that much as we weigh differently every day but right now it is keeping me on track and thinking about weight.

I am going to try my hardest to keep to this challenge.

I have been tracking but been doing it on a spreadsheet and not going to do it on here because I sometimes feel like I have to not put some things on here and so the full food isn't right and right now tracking my way is doing me so much better and I am tracking the exercise and allowing myself 2 points every day for extra if I exercise so I am trying my hardest.

I think back to what I was like 3 years ago... and how I made excuses for myself and I didn't want to do this weight loss and how it took me a year later to truly know that I had to do this for me... and that no matter what anyone said I couldn't do it because they wanted. I had to do it for me and that it had to be my decision and it wasn't going to happen until it was my decision and that is the hardest thing ever because I knew I was big and I knew I had to lose weight but I just couldn't.

When walking one day with my son in his pram and a car full of kids said 'oi you are fat lady lose some weight' I said to them 'I might be fat but you are ugly and at least I can lose the weight and be thin you will still be ugly' but it hurt... it hurt so much that I cried all the way back to the park where my husband was with my oldest son playing and I was in such a depression after that that things got worse for a month and then that was it...

I had to do this and I started off at home doing little things to get me losing weight and it was around Christmas and it was the first Christmas that I didn't over eat and I watched what I ate and did it all in moderation. I lost 5 kilos over that Xmas and I was proud of that achievement... I was reading Helena's blog and she kept me going for a month but I needed more help and decided to join Weight Watchers and realised that I wasn't the only one struggling.

Anyway... the rest of the story is history.

I just wrote this because a friend is struggling today (big hugs) and we had a conversation this morning and I know what it is like for her and I do understand but we can only help ourselves sometimes and I used every excuse under the sun but it wasn't helping me it was hindering me and we can only do it for us.... but we have to do it for us before it is too late. I just know I will be there to listen but I can't do it for her... she is the only one that can do that.

It is a struggle... losing weight and it will always be a struggle.. but it is worth it. I know it it is worth it I am doing more things with my family and friends that I would have ever imagined and I am going to be doing even more when I get the rest off... others have done it before me and I am sure that I am going to do it too.

Chubbymum

Oh... also this is an interesting writer called my HUBBY he he he if you want to read his writing blog I am proud of him.

Twenties AWAY with you!!

As you can imagine I am in such a good mood. I lost only 800 grams but that is sooooo cool because no longer am I in those dreaded 120's... I am in the teens and I have to make sure that it stays that way woohooooo.

Yay yayyyy me

But on another note... I started at 160 kilos so I have actually lost 40.1 kilos from my highest weight but from the WW weight I have lost 34.8 kilos but that is ok... because deep down I know where I have come from and I know where I am headed...

Now I have 4.9 kilos to get to the weight my hubby was before we started this journey and then I have 10 kilos to get to where he is now... so that is my next target... GO ME!!!

Weigh in - 25 July 07

Weigh in day at home

Loss/Gain: Gain 300 grams
Current weight: 120.7 kgs
Total loss: 34.0 kgs

Small challenge: 119.9 kgs
Started: 12 June 07
How much to go: 800 grams

OK so I gained 300 grams. This week has been a nightmare for me and to be honest the food wasn't my first priority with the Wedding Expo etc so I have to now focus on the weight loss and see what I can do. I can't seem to stop myself from going 120.7 to 120.3 and back and down GEESH ME.

I started off well today and was very proud.... OMG was I wanting Burger King today... not that I wanted it just that my mind wanted me to go and get it GEESH... so I started driving towards it and thought NO I don't need this for lunch so I drove an extra 10 minutes in the opposite direction and got Sushi instead. I was proud that I got sushi instead of Burger King for lunch... a much healthier option that is for sure.

So far my food is:

Breakfast
3 weetbix
Milk
Coffee

Morning Tea
Nectarine
Mandarin

Lunch
6 pieces of Sushi
(I LOVE SALMON) OMG

Afternoon Tea
Mocha Frappe (done with water and no cream)

Dinner
Steak
Mashed Potatoe
Beans
Cauliflour

I am trying to not make excuses for how crap I am at losing the weight these last couple of weeks but to be honest I didn't give a flying F** (smack hand) the last week on what I was eating. I really tried hard with the exercise and making my steps be more than I have done but the food went on the wayside.

Steps this week:
60,825 - 39.5 km

So I am soooooo proud of my walking but the food let me down. We had quick dinners so I could get things organised and on Saturday we had KFC and I can't say I loved it as it has been 2 years since having it but it was nice for a change.

This week

• Portions are coming down..
• Water to be drunk
• Only 2 V's this week
• Track

So they are my goals for the week.

I don't want to stay at the size I am anymore but I also don't have the motivation either.. and I think a lot of you out there are having the same problem. The thing I am finding that I am happy about is that I am not gaining more than a couple of hundred grams so I know how to maintain so that is a good thing to know for when I get to goal. Now is the challenge to get rid of some more.

9 Day until the Xmas Function... so I have to get my A in to G and lose 1 kilo!! I have to be in the teens by then... I just have to!!!

Love ya all

How much to go: 500 grams

Ok a little upset with that because I did track and I did my exercise grrrr but at least it is only 100 grams. I did say last week that I should have gained and I lost so maybe I am a week behind myself and next week will be a good one...

I mean all I am asking for is 500 grams... how hard could that be?

I was gutted... so was hubby as he gained 100 grams too... so at least I know that it wasn't just me as we eat the same thing and do the same exercise... so I am pleased with that.

It is only 11 am and I have done 3134 steps and I have a sit down job so I am pleased with that.... and I am going to kickboxing tonight and also taking the boys to soccer today.

I am gutted about it but I know that I have gained a huge amount of weight and I suppose at least I know I can maintain aye... and that is the main point that I am not going to gain back so much weight that it takes me twice as long.

I just want to justify what I have done these past two weeks...

One positive thing... I went in another notch on my belt.

When I brought these jeans in June I got a belt and I was on the first notch (just btw) it was a little tight and now I am on the third notch so I am going down in centimeters. I should have taken my measurements.

Next week on Wednesday I will take my measurements.. this week with the expo it is a little stressful.

Well last night I managed to do 2 wine bottle labels for the expo, a sign for my pin board, finish my scrapbook album of the invites that I am not using in my picture frame and hubby and I did a letter to the realestate guy re pricing for bottle labels... so I am pleased with last nights work.

Tonight is putting the invites on the picture frame, desiging a bottle label for a client on a Moet bottle argghhhh don't want to smash that.... and doing some hand outs for brides to be to take at the expo... oh and of course going to the kickboxing class OMG.

Anyway it is my lunch time soon... gotta go...

Love ya all

Contracts woohooo

We didn't go for a walk tonight as it was raining....yes I know that isn't an excuse but I have so much to do for the expo that I am not going to go out... plus.... TANIA (lovely lovely Tania) phoned me this afternoon and maybe has a potential customer for me for my bottle labels OMG OMG am I excited... it is with Lodge realestate. They want an official quote for labels and what I can do for them etc by tomorrow morning as they are contracting her to do gift baskets as well and she mentioned that she has a friend that has a business etc etc... woohoooooo for me.

So on top of doing the invites and finishing alllllllll the stuff I have to do tonight I have to do the quote... and to be quite honest I should be doing it instead of doing this blog he he he but I am being a procrastinator until the kids go to bed or I will be doing it out of frustration because I can't concentrate I know I know excuses aye.

So if I get this then I will have two contracts for businesses for their gifts wohoooo... and if you know of any other business that might want to hire me please please tell them he he he

I felt sooo hungry today and wanted to nibble nibble nibble.

To tell you the truth I am worried about my weigh in tomorrow.... only because 2 weeks ago I was a nightmare with my food and in my experience in the last two years I take 2 weeks for a weigh to show properly and even though I have been good for the last two weeks it won't show up just yet. I have 400 grams to get to my teens OMG I wish I would get it but I am not going to put my hopes on it AT ALL.

Work was full on today as I was trying to catch up on things.

Anyway goodnight everyone
Love Chubbymum

How much to go: 400 grams

Well I am really pleased with the loss of 400 grams. I figure if I lose 200 grams a week and I get more then I am happy with that because it is a loss and not a gain aye.

Since leaving Weight Watchers 5 weeks ago I have only gained once... so that is great aye. Ok it hasn't been a lot of weight I have lost but it is a loss and I am not in this for a race.... I am in this to change my lifestyle and to take it off for ever and NO WAY am I going to get back up to the almost 160's EVER EVER EVER AGAIN.

Only 400 grams to get to the teens... and it better be off before I come down to ChrisH's place. We got confirmation yesterday that our room is all booked and ready for us WOOHOOOO... it is going to be great.

I haven't worked out what I will get for the Xmas presents yet OMG that is a hard thing to do. Also food hmmmm.... we don't have a kitchen in our room so that will be interesting too but I am sure there is something I can take etc he he he will be a challenge.

I had a crap day yesterday and couldn't even write in here. Got to work feeling wonderful and then at morning tea my son phoned (now he doesn't usually) and then said "hold on mum nana can talk now" which worried me.

Apparently mum's sister in law phoned from Bermuda (where most of my family is because I was born there and so were my parents etc) to say that Mum's sister was in hospital as she had 2 mini strokes and she can't talk as everything is slurred (this sister just came out of an operation 10 weeks ago where they took out one of her kidneys).

Now that isn't all..... at the same time telling her about her sister found out that mums brother in law died and also that one of mums best friends died... so as you can tell she was not in a good mood.

So I finished work and went home as she had the kids and spent the day at home... was not a happy place.

So the story is.. mums sister who had the stroke and mums brother in law were once married (still friends though it wasn't a terrible break up) and a week ago they were all together for their daughter's wedding. So the poor kids have their mum in hospital and their dad just died and they both live in different countries. OMG imagine that...... The stroke happened before her ex died so that wasn't the reason she had a stroke.

I am travelling down to Rotorua today for a business meeting with one of the new girls down there. The bosses in Auckland suggested that I go down and help her out and I might be able to help her out. OMG so they are paying for travel and for lunch woohooo... She sounds really nice in her emails... it will be great to catch up with her.

I have my mother in law looking after the kids and I am taking my mum down to get her out of the house and she is going to shop while I am there. Then straight back home as my mother in law has things to do when I get back ho hum. Would have been good to stay down there for a while and catch up with people grrrrr oh well I suppose it is great that she is looking after them at all....

Will tell you all when I get back from Rotorua today.

Weigh in day - 4 July 07

Loss/Gain: Gain 100 grams (TOM too)

Current weight: 120.7 kgs

Total loss: 34.0 kgs

Small challenge: 119.9 kgs

Started: 12 June 07

How much to go: 800 grams

Ok... so I gained but I honestly think with having my T.O.M that is an ok gain. I expected it because usually I gain when having my monthly.

So I have 800 grams to get to the teens and it is going to happen this month... I just know it!

My mini goal is to be at 118.9 kgs before I go to ChrisH's place for Xmas dinner so let's get that 1.8 off in 4 weeks.

I have to get my backside in order.

Feel like I have given up everything lately. Now I need to be introducing more back in to my life.
