WI Day Tomorrow
I'm dreading it - plain and simple.
I haven't been bad. I've saved points this week and had all my water, exercised three times (30 mins on the bike each time), yet I'm still dreading WI as I feel so fat and bloated.
I know it happens - I know I could gain weight due to no fault of my own, but I'm dreading it. Not sure how I'd cope if I gained weight or stayed the same. I wouldn't be a happy person.
Anyway - I've had a good relaxing weekend with hubby - we went shopping - I bought less ready meals and more fresh food this week. Going to try and do some cooking from scratch. Might end up poisoning us both lol!

I'm worried..........
I'm not eating enough
- I never actually thought I'd say that.
I'm doing WW and so far this week I've banked the maximum points you can plus I'm banking exercise points. I also don't feel like I've lost any weight this week and feeling bloated.
Kate - thanks for your message babes. WI for me is on Monday morning. Don't you just dread that day every week - WI day!?!?!?!?
I even worked a take-away in to the plan the other night - well I had "Chicken and Cashew Nuts" - so it wasn't really bad lol - I would have had boiled rice as well - but hubby ordered fried and I wouldn't eat it. Silly thinking about it now - as with all my spare points I could have had it!
Well the move is finished at work and I love our cosy new area. Unfortunately the boss threw a hissy and took the afternoon off - apparantly she didn't like something I said lol.
Well it's the weekend which means it is two days till WI. As said above I'm not looking forward to it - but I've been good - so hopefully I won't be too disappointed.
21lbs to go to reach 100lb loss - can I do it in 7 weeks?

One of those days........
when everthing seems to get on top of you and you just wonder why is it so hard. Today I could've reached for a chocolate bar and could have murdered a take-away, but I didn't do either - so in the end it was a good day.
Day 7
- my first week over and done with - and it was a good week with no lapses and no binges.
I have 7 weeks until my 35th birthday. I won't reach my goal of 100lb loss which is what I wanted - but to get even close to that would be the best birthday present I could give myself.

Another day...........
well I managed to get through another day without reaching for the chocolate/stress foods. I seem to be really bad tempered at the moment and quick to frustrate - especially at work. Might be down to lack of chocolate - or just me being a mood mare - I don't know.
I've decided to do 30 minutes on the exercise bike every other day - and more walking on the days inbetween.
Managed to pick up my fruit/veg intake - so hopefully I can mark this off the list this week.

WI Day
Happy to report a 6lb loss today.
Finally I think I am back on track. Last week I just concentrated on getting to the end of the day and drinking plenty of water.
This week I'm going to concentrate on the above but also getting more exercise.
I need to lose another 5lbs to get back to where I was when I started this journal - and then concentrate on getting my 100lb loss which is 21lbs away.
I'm feeling more positive today.

Day 4
Well I've been ok this weekend.
I managed 30 minutes on the bike yesterday and just went over my points by 2 or 3 - due to those bloody nuts lol. But I managed it.
My blood sugars have returned to normal as well - which is a huge relief after my excess at x-mas when they went quite high. So I'm back to taking all my meds/injections etc and I think I'm back on track also.
Will see at tomorrow's WI!!!!!!

Day 3
Well so far so good. I'm getting back into WW Points and it's not going so bad.
Hubby came home last night with a small treat
A bag of Pistachio nuts!!!!!!!! OMG 10pts for a small bag. When I said I didn't want them he wasn't happy and said that I'd been good so I should treat myself !!!! What's the point in that !!!! He went into a sulk so I said I'd work them into my points today - which means I'm on a 15pt food day lol
I'm going to get on my exercise bike today - it will be the first time in 8 weeks that I've got my lazy arse into action - no doubt I'll be knackered after 15 mins - but hope to achieve 30 mins.
Anyway WI on Monday morning. It's at the forefront of my mind so I hope to stick to it and have a terrific weekend.

Day 2
Well I had an excellent day yesterday but was so relieved to see the end of the day.
I'm feeling very hungry today so I'm drinking plenty of water and just trying to think of other things!
Still haven't managed to get back on the exercise bike yet - but will leave that to the weekend when I have more time.

Day 1
Thanks Colleen - it is easier to know that there are people out there who know what I'm going through.
Well Day 1 - I'm feeling positive that this is the day I take back control.
I have my journal which I will write everything down in. I've had breakfast, taken my meds (for my diabetes) and I'm ready to go.
I plan on doing some walking at lunch and hopefully will do some excercise on my bike tonight.

This is it!
This is it I've had enough! 
I gained another 2.5lbs at WI today - and I swear I can feel every single one of them! That makes a gain of 14lb in the past 8 weeks! What happened to my willpower!
I have to go back to scratch and start again. I've done it before and I can do it again.
I'm just so pee'd off at myself for not starting on the 01/01/2007 and for letting the past 10 days just pass me by - whilst I've been stuffing my face and getting bigger.
From next week my WI's will be on a Monday - so I'd best get my finger out hadn't I!!!!!
