I'VE GAINED WEIGHT!!??!?

A whole week of watching my food intake and adding in daily exercise and I'm fatter than when I started!! WHAT THE HELL?? Okay so I did indulge in some (a whole bottle of wine and beers) alcohol on Friday night after a stressful day at work which led to dinner at an Italian restaraunt. Skip to chewing mindlessly on garlic bread with cheese, and spaghetti marinara.

But has that one meal really sabotaged my whole week?????????

I have to re-think my strategy here. I'm thinking about joining Weight Watchers Online-I don't have the confidence to attend meetings. I think I'd rather hide behind my computer. Has anyone tried Weight Watchers Online??

Okay and to be honest my exercise hasn't exactly been breaking me out into a sweat. Walking around the neighbourhood with the dogs has got my legs-a-burning sure...but definetely not sweat pouring down my red hot cheeks cursing every second of exercise like seen on The Biggest Loser.

Funny thing is I am feeling better so I'm slightly dissapointed but deep down I know I can try harder to get results.  And for the first time in ever I wore a sleeveless top on Friday thinking I'd shed 15kg walking around the office happy as larry feeling hot; only to realise now I looked the same as always. Goes to show how exercise and healthy eating really boosts the confidence-or makes me delusional.

Either way I'm going to hit a harder week (no idea what that means sounds like something a personal trainer would say), drink more water, have leaner meaner dinners (dinners are my weakness I just cook what my boyfriend wants and eat it rather than spending money on my own seperate meal), more vegies and sweat it out like a pig in a sauna.

Until next time xoxo

PS By the way while on the topic of jellie bellies and wobbly arms I came across a fantastic hilarious weight loss blog: check it out here: http://missbooti.wordpress.com/ 

First Entry

To be honest I can't believe I'm 20 years old and I've got to the point where I have 10 kilos+ to lose. I was always a skinny girl at highschool-I could eat what I wanted and god knows where it ended up but it definetely wasn't on my butt!

I guess I have been in denial and thought I would be able to sustain my love of fast food without putting on weight. Geez was I living in dream land or what!

I haven't even been on the scale for the past 8 months or so. And when I jumped on the scales last week after a few hurtful comments about my weight gain;I was so shocked. I had been kidding myself.

I have been reaching for the treats; telling myself that I deserved them, "I'm not really putting on that much weight". Even though my growing pot belly tells another story.

I've always held my extra weight in my tummy. Cosmo and Cleo tell me this is probably the worst place healthwise to hold extra weight. Great.

Well I've started this week-probably in a state of panic which made me nearly die of embarrasment when I couldn't get myself together to go to my boyfriends place after getting on the scales. Going to face his diet-concious tiny Mum and her tiny friends had me hot and flustered. I couldn't do it.

Watching what I eat and exercising. I'm terrible with numbers and counting anything so I'm not counting calories. Just using common sense. I do have a tendency to buy a packet of diet ice-creams and eat the whole box because they taste good and "well they're not that fatty". So I'll have to watch that!

Also I'm reading the Dr. Phil weight loss book-Eek not my novel of choice but he has some interesting points so far. I can totally see myself ditching the book in favour of my usual trashy fiction soon though!

Fingers crossed I can get my act together and lose the pudge!!!
