New haicut!

Hi everybody!

So yesterday was new haircut day! I feel great now. A new haircut always makes me feel so much better and I am wondering why I get to it so seldom. My last haircut was 27 of November!!!

The scale has shown a slight decrease, what I think is very realistic, considering I did not get to the gym (wanted my hair to look good at least one day :)) ). I only watched my eating. And trust me. It was not easy. In the afternoon we (me & my friends) went out to pick a weddingdress for the future bride. It was lots of fun, but in the end we went to a restaurant to eat. Italian. My favourite! But I managed to stick to plain tomato spaghetti, and did not even try their pizza and lasagna :). I think that alone means progress :))

Thank you all for your comments.

Day 9

... and I have hit my first standstill :). Ths scale showed the same as yesterday. That means I'm done loosing water. Now comes the hard part. to comfort myself I'm going to get a haircut today. See you all tomorrow.

Weighing or measuring?

Hi everybody,

today I should be happy as I stepped on the scale and it kindly showed even less then yesterday :) (as I was right on track with my eating on Monday). Yes I know my daily weighing is a bit obsessive, but I makes me feel better when I see something moving in the beginning :). So, now to the reason why I am not so happy. I had my boyfriend measure me: waist, belly, hips, and compared to the measuring I did some time ago it show a few cm more!! What do you think? Is it possible that the measurments I took myself are wrong? Maybe is someone else is measuring you they are more accurate?

I would hate to think that I am loosing weight but my waist is going up!!

Thank you for your advice :)

The weekend

So the weekend was great! Thank you all for oyur good wishes! The weather was good (not great), but good enough for a long long walk and even a bit of lazy time in the sun. My cousin also joined us and some friends also came over on Sunday so we were quite a merry crowd :)

That was the good part. Here comes the part: oyu see there is this really yummy place in my home town with lots of delicious food, and of course we ate there on both days. Well, at least it was really really delicious. And on Saturday night, I indulged in some (not a lot of) chocolate. yes yes girls I know i shouldn't have, but I thought ..you have been eating so good all week, not even straying once from your plan, you deserve a tiny break :))) (I'm good at this, am I not? ;))

Luckily the scale today showed even a slide weightloss, so ...I shouldn't feel that bad? shoud I? :)

a great week to all  of you!

...and its Friday!

yupeee .. no more work after 5 pm and I'm also leaving town. I am going to visit my parents and they live near a very nice lake so my bf and I will spend the weekend there:) Sun and fun for me.

Unlukyly I' still dont like myslef in  a bikini ... but I'm sure with yout help in a few months I'll feel just great :)

See you all on Moday. I'll let you know how it was.

This morning

... I really couldn't wait to get to work  and write something in my blog to let you all know how I'm doing :). this is the beginning of a new addiction! But a much better one then the one for chocolate :)).

Thank you all for your comments and your support. It really feels great to be part of your community.

I am weighing myself every day. Don't think its a very good idea, but so far the scale has been friendly enough to show small steps. I know I lose the first 3-4 kg always rather fast (and put them back just as easily), but it still is encouraging to see the scale shows less :))

Tonight I will do some cooking. Maybe some vegetable rice. Fast and easy ... and of course, at least I hope, tasty and filling :))

see you all tomorrow

..its day 3 already ..

Hi everybody,

this is day 3 of my new GI plan diet and I am feeling great. So far I have not been feeling very hungry and have been able not to snack anything I shouldn't have :) Yesterday was also my first day back to the gym. I am used to doing lots of sports, but by being away on or off ofr the last 2 months I am kind of out of shape. SO I decided to take it slow and start the week with a Pilates class. I felt great afterwards! Hope that my enthuziasm will last :) I appreciate every line line of support you could offer ...

Back again

It seems these days that weddings are THE motivation for me to lsoe weight. I have been on vacation and  did a lot of travelling lately, and ufortunately habe not stuck to my  good eating habits. Today I put myslef back on my scale.... and had the surprise to see myself at 76.4 ... So well ... until de 20th Oct (when the next important wedding is:))) where I need to look good in a dress, I have to be below 70.

So this is my new goal. And this is why I'm back here.... so maybe some of of you can help me keep going this time :)

thanks :)

Hello world!

Hmmm ..so this is how it feels like to write your first blog post ever :). Kind of nice, actually.  So,  why am I doing this? Writing my very first blog ,I mean, ..because I'm stuck in a moment of not feeling motivated. 4 months ago I suddenly realized (after 2 years of kidding myself) , that I was not happy weighing 82 kgs, that it was not normal, and that...frankly speaking .. I was fat. Maybe it was the fact that the largest size of  "normal" clothes was  starting not to fit me, maybe it was the fact that I lost my intrested in dancing (which I absolutely love) becuase I didn't feel sexy anymore, or maybe it was just the fact that compared to my friend (who had always been around the same size) I was ..well, 14 kgs heavier. Ok, so I admitted I as fat. First step. Second step was .. I set myself a goal: until de 30.June 2007 (friends wedding) I will be 10kg lighter. I felt highly motivated, went on a GI diet, and continued with sports 6 times a week.(thsi I has already been doing for a year, but because I ate too mucn results would not show). In one month I had lost 4.5 kgs in two 8 kgs ..and then one more.  I was proudly weighing 73 kgs. I have been plateauing at this weight ever singe..going up to 74 from time to time. On one hand I'm happy that I'm eating normally now, and I am still able to holf my weight. On the other I've lost my drive from the beginning. Everybody has been complimenting me on how good I look now, and therefore I do not feel so fat any more. I feel almost normal ..but still.. I wanna be thinner ..like I used to be years ago ...so ..that's why I'm here ..to keep going :)
