Week 9 weigh in

Should have titled this post "the week I kick my own arse". Erm...yea. The weight I lost last week came back. And I totally know why and am damn lucky it wasn't more. I wasn't consistently logging calories and portion control went completely out the window after my mouth ulcers healed and I was able to eat yummy (bad, bad BAD) food again.

There's only 5 weeks until Christmas and I want to get to 93kg (205lbs) by then which will mark the 5% lost mark. So this is the week that I stop pretending it can be easy and actually work at it!

* And thanks for your continued encouragement POD - much appreciated :)

Week 4 weigh in

I shouldn't be surprised - half a kilo back on this week and I can't gasp in horror pretending I don't know why.

Nevermind - food diary obsession is back and I'm determined that this 500 grams won't be there next week.

Time to get back on the horse

I've been in a complete funk since last Thursday and my food choices (and consumption thereof) have reflected this. And the really dumb thing is that I could tell that bad food in = bad mood out but still I kept going and even stopped updating my food diary. 

This morning I woke up in a better frame of mind and I'm determined that I will not give in on the long term goal. I may see a gain on the scales this week but that will be Ok. I can lose it next week or the week after - imagine if I did nothing and kept eating crap for the next year? It would be worse than failing a diet. I would be failing myself.

Letting food win

I let a bad day get the best of me yesterday and completely gave in to the food demons. My project at work has more things broken than working and I'd only seen a 200 gram loss in the morning. Why bother? I had taken my lunch into work but cooked too much rice - thought I'd leave some behind but ate it all and felt very content afterwards.

Couldn't be bothered thinking about dinner and suggested chinese takeout when asked and stuffed myself full of chicken chow mein, sweet and sour pork and combination fried rice.

To top it off I managed to reach the box of FLIPZ on the top of the pantry and had some for desert. Still in a funk today so can't claim to be back in the saddle just yet...bring on the weekend.
