news
Thought I should quickly share our news. For the past few weeks, I have had my head over the toilet. Yes, I am pregnant. Not feeling great, but very excited. I haven't picked up much weight. Only a kg or 2, but my stomach is already very swollen. Can't understand it. None of my pants fit me. I'm only 7.5 weeks.
So, that's why I've been so quiet. Will keep you updated!

been a rough few weeks
Sorry I have been quiet. I really am doing ok. Didn't stay on track perfectly last week. Well, didn't at all. But I haven't picked up anything and have gotten right back on the wagon.
We're moving this and next week. To a very isolated place. I'm excited. Also nervous. I'm getting a dog. I think it'll be good to get me walking more. And my little guy will enjoy having a puppy to push around.
Not much else to share. :) Have a great weekend.

forgot to mention
that I have been to the Doc, thanks for the care and love though! It's the antibiotics that are making me so nauseous. And the pain from the lump that has formed from the spider.
I have no appetite. Well, not much anyway.

food tracking
I don't know how long I will keep this up. I'm not great at tracking. I get bored with it and then don't make the effort. So for now, I'll just track what I ate yesterday.
Being the first day back into it, I felt the need for a lot of treats.... So I snacked a lot. But still stayed within my points.
BREAKFAST
WW muesli, trim milk, strawberries, tea
LUNCH
soup, bread, tea
DINNER
WW chicken pasta, salad, trim cappa
SNACKS
yoghurt, apple, WW crisps, popcorn, WW choc dessert
What did I tell you?! A LOT of snacking! But some of it was healthy! :)
And may I just say that EP is awesome. No, let me rephrase that, the PEOPLE on EP are fantastic.... :)

i'm sort of back
Hi everyone.
So, I disappeared off the radar and have been going downhill ever since. I started eating exactly what I wanted. I stopped stepping on the scale. And I stopped going to weight watchers.
But then this morning I jumped on the scale and I have probably gained around 3 or 4 kgs. And I dont' ever want to weigh 117 kgs ever again. I am terrified of it. Last time I lost weight, I got down to about 92. I have been trying to figure our ho I put back all the weight and more. And I did it by not monitoring. By ignoring a and forgetting and hoping no one would notice. I have also been struggling with depression. I'm n St Johns Wort now, so am feeling much better.
I cannot gain back all that weight again. Not going to happen this time. We're trying for a baby. So I know that my weight loss efforts will be put on hold when I fall pregnant. But I want to be "grown up" about my food choices. Whenever I eat badly I feel like a child that cannot control herself and needs an adult to set her straight. I have to do this for myself and for my family.
I have really been struggling lately. I just cannot figure out why I can't get my head back in the zone. I need to do this. I want this. I want to be thinner.
I think that, in a way, as soon as life got better, and I could shop in the normal clothing stores again and I could wear prettier clothes, I kinda stopped worrying because I had what I wanted. To a degree. But its not enough. So.... my goal is to just get to 95 (for now). And I will.
I'm not going to go to weight watchers. I know I can do it alone. I have done it before and will do it again.
I'll be using my home scale from now on. First thing every thursday morning.

which one?
So! I went to Jenny Craig this morning for my fortnightly weigh-in.... And according to my Jenny Craig records I have oficially lost 20 kg exactly (for everyone that thinks in pounds that's 44lbs). So, here's my dilemma. While I weigh 96.9 at Jenny, I weigh 97.6 at Weight Watchers. Technically I am going to both although following the WW points system. Should I take the Jenny weigh-ins as my weight or should I take the WW weigh-ins as my weight? There's about a 1kg difference between their scales (I think). My consultant at Jenny noticed a big difference in me too. She said my face looks a lot thinner....
And I just need to say that this is the best thing I have ever done for myself and my body. I am beaming. I haven't weighed this since 2005 (I think).
If you're trying to take the plunge and you're really struggling to.... Try it for a week. Commit for just one week, that's all you have to do.
I love feeling good. I love losing weight. Gosh, what will I do when I get to my goal? (^_^)

can i say it again?
I LURVE weight watchers! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
And I changed meetings because the one I went to this morning is run by a lady that loves being a WW leader and doesn't ask how much I lost or gained. I LOVE my meetings! Plus I lost 2.1 kgs in a week! I know! How is it possible?!!! And I have felt fully satisfied and happy all week! I have never felt like I was missing out. I LOVE weight watchers. Just wait till my consultant at Jenny Craig sees my loss tomorrow! I've lost more in 1 week at WW than I did in 2 weeks with Jenny, not that I'm going to keep up this streak, but if I can lose more than 800g a week I will be happy - especially if I'm still getting a lollipop or two in the deal! Last night I had WW chocolate cheesecake. It wasn't great, but it was nice to eat cheesecake. :) Next time I'll get the berry one.
Can I say it again?!

I'm super excited. I have weigh-in tomorrow. We finally have money and I looked online and the place that I go has weigh in on mondays and wednesdays. Whew! It's only my first weigh-in with WW, so I am looking forward to seeing how much I lost! I have an extra 2 days to have lost something.
May I just say again, I ♥♥♥♥♥Weight Watchers!!!!!

taking photos
When I was heavier... 20 kgs heavier, I hated having my photo taken. HATED IT!!! I know that anyone that has a blog here can relate. On saturday, we spent the day out at a local beach with my hubby's sister and her family. She always tries to get photos of me. I used to wonder if she was trying to torture me because of my weight and how much she knows I hate it.
ANYHOO.... On Saturday, we spent the day with them and I completely forgot to take my camera with. She however, didn't forget. And so when we had finished our lunch and we were lazing around in the sun, out came the camera. And she started taking snappies of me. And I smiled and I let her. And when I saw the pictures after... Wow, I am a different person. I actually liked them.
I'm just waiting for her to email them to me and then I'll load a few up here. Even though I'm not "thin", I love feeling thinNER. :) It's the first time in a long time that I felt pretty....
And now I am a little frustrated. I have weight watchers today at 12. And I just discovered that we have NO MONEY in the bank! I can't go. It's only $17, but I don't have a cent. I'm so frustrated. Hubby gets paid on Thursday and we should have some money being paid into our SA account tonight. But tonight is so late. I don't want to miss my 1st weigh in. I was so looking forward to seeing how much I weigh today. I have to go to Jenny Craig tonight though. Ai.... Praying for a miracle so I can go to weigh-in in 3 hours time......
