Actually I am not really thinking too much, I am more just considering starting another blog (yay more dust)! This blog probably wouldn't be on here and it would most definitely contain genuine rants, bad language and well it would be my darker side that I don't really let many other people be privvy to. Maybe some of my fet friends but who knows.
As for weight loss I am a bit over weight watchers more to the point I am starting to get impatient. I want the weight to come off and I know it will if I just stick with it but just meh.
And that's enough of that.

Some progress
I am back down to 91.2kg and I am hoping that this week at weigh in I will have lost that. If I have that means I am at my 5% goal and that would be awesome.
I am actually quite impressed with myself. Over the xmas period I only put on 200g and then last week I lost that 200g. Hopefully tomorrow is the same or better. 300g would be nice cos then I would have broken the 91 mark completely. I have been really active this week too and haven't eaten too much crap. Haven't touched the written tracker but have been tracking online and using the weight watchers facebook page for inspiration. So I am feeling pretty positive about tomorrow's weigh in.
As for other things, I have gotten addicted to editing pictures using picnik.com and am also addicted to Ponies now. Keep using this great little app to create a bunch of them. Have set myself a little project actually. Every pony I create through the app, I am going to attempt to draw freehand too. It's nice to have reference pictures.
Last time I wore this outfit I was larger and I am actually starting to see my waist again. I am also noticing that I am slowly getting my confidence back. This is not an easy journey but this time I am not going to give up. I will beat this!
I don't care what people say, I am doing this for me. I am also trying to stop being so concerned with what people actually think about me, because quite frankly it's exhausting having to wear a separate mask for everyone I am around. Don't like me that's your problem.
Now that this here blog is up to date, I am going to sign off the internet and go get the second pony picture I drew, bring it into the game room and sit at Garth's feet and colour in, cos I am mature like that.
And that's enough of that.

Cuffs
Don't know why I decided that would be the title, probably because I am wearing my ankle and wrist cuffs and that makes me happy.
Besides the point however, I am currently down to 91.9kg and seem to have plateau'd but this always happens with me. I am not going to give up but I have basically not touched my tracker all week, decided to take a week off basically. Must get back on track as I am not at my happiest at this weight.
I would like to be able to wear skirts and dresses without the inevitable chafe that always occurs after about twenty minutes in a skirt. I would like my cellulite gone, of course I would. I would like to feel confident in jumping into Garth's arms again as that is such a rush for me. I will get there, this is a journey not a race.
But hey I can't really complain too much as I am lighter than I was when I started and that is the main thing. I do think I am losing inches though which is always nice.
Must find my motivation again, my spark, my muse...must find me.
And that's enough of that.

Back is sore
Lol I couldn't think of a better title. Incidentally, my back is sore from leaning over the iPad. Oh how I miss having my own computer. The iPad is ok, but not very ergonomic. Ah well, to my point.
As you all know this is my weight loss blog. So far my Weight Watchers journey has been a little up and down, literally. It seems like one week I lose weight and the next week I put on. So far however I have dropped from 95.8kg to 93.4kg, which I guess isn't too bad. I was just hoping to have lost more by now.
I am a little concerned, my period hasn't come yet, or at least it didn't come properly. I got like one day of very light bleeding. I will give it another few days and then do a pregnancy test. Is it possible to get a phantom pregnancy from living with a pregnant girl, I don't think so, but hey who the hell knows.
Oh well.
So far today I have had potato wedges with sour cream. Two cups of coffee, a can of coke zero and a biscuit. Dinner is spaghetti Bol. Sure that won't be too bad.
Oh well.
That's enough of that.

Joined Weight Watchers
Yup, I sure did. I joined Weight Watchers with Jordan and I am doing pretty well. Was very shocked when I first stood on the scales. I weighed in at 95.8kg eeeep. That works out as about 15stone I nearly fainted, could not believe that I let myself go that badly. However, I can't complain now as I am taking steps to fix this and it is good to have a friend doing it too. We can support each other.
Gotta say I am loving the Propoints idea. I can actually eat fruit and veg and not worry about how many points it is unlike the old weight watchers. So far I have lost 1.5kg. It's not as much as I would like but at least it is weight off. My goal is about 65kg-70kg that's about 10stone. If I get too far below 10st, I will look emaciated and that is not my plan, so I have given friends permission to drag me kicking and screaming to hospital/hungry jacks to fatten me back up a little. Apparently my healthy weight range is between 56kg and 70kg. 56kg is most definitely NOT my goal.
I am being realistic about my weight loss and about the amount of working out I can do. Although, big news, joy of joys I can jump again. Woohoo!
I am going to try and keep this updated a bit more often on my weight loss journey even though I also have access to the Weight Watchers e-tools which I believe has a blog, but I think I will just use the etools to help me track and plan meals.
Incidentally, I think I will log here about how I am feeling too.
For instance, this week I only lost 200g (I can't be bothered converting back to stones and lbs now although I will still use inches for my measurements) which I was really disappointed with. Jordan and I had been so diligent with our propoints and used all the advice we had been given, worked out like crazies and both only lost 200g. WTH? Straight after the meeting, due to disappointment I really really had the urge to go into KFC and get a mega bucket of chicken just for me. I didn't however. Instead I treated myself and Jordan to a coffee. We were originally going to get a full cream one each but both ended up with a skinny one instead and both managed to avoid real sugar and instead had sweetener. All up the coffee only ended up being 4propoints.
Also both discovered this week that because we have both lost a little weight we actually both dropped in propoints allowance. Instead of 34 I am now on 32, so perhaps this week will be far more successful :)
Anyhoo, that's all for just now.
That's enough of that

Improvement
I have unfortunately neglected this blog...again. I am so bad at this keeping a blog thing. Anyhoo.
My gym membership ran out, I really do not do well at the gym, I get really bored really quickly. I think it may be a better idea to get a year pass for the local pool. Better exercise and I enjoy it more.
Anyway, I have noticed that lately I have been eating 3 meals a day with very little snackage and that I am getting fuller quicker. Not even really trying to lose weight at the moment.
I have come to terms with the idea of being a plus sized girl. I need to revamp my wardrobe however. I think I will get more goth, hippy and 1940s style stuff. I have taken to dyeing my hair mad colours. The next colour I am going is Turquoise with a dark blue streak. Must get Mike's mum to give me a hand :)
Hmm so I think I will sign off just now and try to remember to update this each day. Need to buy scales that work.
And that's enough of that \

I walked home from the Gym
Yes I did. I went to the gym this afternoon, worked my ass off and then decided to challenge myself and walk home from the gym. Ended up in pain, but I managed it. Garth ran me a bubble bath to wind down in.
Incidentally, today has been a pretty good food day. I had cereal when I woke up and have had a small bottle of water. When I got home from the gym I had a berry yoghurt with some pomegrante. Dinner is roast beef, white sauce and roast vegetables. Will probably have the rest of my pomegrante and a skinny cow ice cream for dessert.
Yesterday, Monday, I had physio in the morning then headed to work. They didn't need me in so I wandered off and got myself a big breakfast from Edible Artistry and I washed it down with a strawberry thickshake. Probably not the healthiest but I was hungry and then I ended up around at the gym working it off anyway. I hung with Michael down town for a bit after buying a couple of filing cabinets from work. Garth and Will took them home. While down town I had a can of Coke Zero and some chicken strips. I walked around pretty much all day. Most definitely getting stronger. Didn't have dinner, but I did have some toast with cheese. It wasn't too bad of a day, I enjoyed it and I still managed to maintain relatively meal choices.
Sunday, I had my cereal when I woke up and then headed to the cinema with Emily, Garth and Michael. At the cinema I had a large cup of lift lemon squash but managed to avoid the snacks. After the movie we all walked to Red Rooster which was about 7 blocks away. I got there and ordered a flava wrap combo. Its one of the better choices on the menu. I just had a real craving for one. I had a small bottle of coke and I think I ate about 10 of the chips that came with the wrap.
Saturday, I can't actually remember what I ate during the day on Saturday, but Saturday night was my Uncle Bills birthday bbq. I had heaps of salad, coleslaw, cold pasta and I had like one bit of steak and one sausage. I had three dark and stormy's and one slice of birthday cake. It was a good night, got to catch up with a lot of the family.
I must try and write on this everyday as my memory, especially for food, is terrible. It hasn't been a bad couple of days either way.
Anyway, that's enough of that.
