Week Ten!

This week I was supposed to hit then ten kilo loss mark but alas the scales have decided they didnt want to move so I am still the same :( I dont mind staying the same though for a couple of weeks I just feel like it is my body catching up and getting use to the new weight.

But this week I want that last kilo gone so I can make the ten kilo mark. I was thinking about it the other day and how far I still have to go and my Mum (wise women that she is) said dont think about how far you have to go and think about how far you have already come. So that is what I am doing because what I have lost in this short time is amazing.

I am still on track to get under the 100 by Christmas and I went shopping and tried on clothes with my sister on the weekend and they look nice. My stomach is not sticking out as much and I was trying on smaller sizes. Yay for me! I am glad we are coming into warmer months though so I can wear my skirts. All my pants are getting a tad to big and look very saggy in the bottom.

I have decided though that I need to tone and am not sure whether to go back to the gym or just do my own thing at home. What do you think?

Week 9

I gave myself a week off this week. I didn't go crazy but I didn't stick to a plan either which was nice. I tried out a couple of the Weight Watchers recipes this week as well. One we really liked and I would make again and that was the chicken casserole from one of the magazines. I have the last three floating around my house so not sure which one it is from.

One thing I did notice this week is I have felt like I need to excercise like I just need to get out there and run. I probably will run about 30 seconds and want to fall over but the fact is I want to get out there and do it. Which I haven't wanted to do for a long time.

So this week I think is definately the week. I am going to go back to curves and I am going to start the C25K. I am waiting for my new phone to arrive so I can downlaod the app for this so it tells me when to run and when to walk. I am excited!

I am back on track this week though with the aim to stay within my points everyday again. The ticker is going to be over 10kg lost by this time next week. I am determined to see that happen!

How was everyones week?

Week Eight!!

So 8 weeks in or technically 9 because I re did a week. I have lost a total of 7.8kg on WW. With this weeks loss 1kg exactly.

I am getting so very close to the 10kg mark and I am excited to reach this as I am then a third of the way to my goal.
I do think though that I definitely need to get back to the exercise and am thinking it is time to go back to Curves to at least help me tone! I just don't seem to be losing the centimetres.

That's it for this week. How are you all going?

The big question... What size am I?

Last night after a day of constantly pulling my jeans up I went through my "skinny" clothes in my wardrobe to see if one of my many other pairs of jeans would do up.

I sorted them in size as I have a few different sizes and tried the 18's on first as this was the size of the ones I am now trying to keep up. I had one other size 18 jeans and 3/4 pants so I pulled them out and tried them on. Well the 3/4 pants would barely go over my ass but not to be disappointed I tried on the jeans and these were worse.

I still kept looking though as I knew there was a pair of jeans there somewhere that would be close to fitting as I was trying to get into them a couple of years ago when I was about this weight. I even found clothes I had forgotten I had!

Anyway long story short I finally found a pair that pulled up and did up even. They are still a tad too tight but they do up and gives me something new to achieve. And these are a size 16! How can the sizes be so very different? These jeans are a stretchier material than the others but still. It just doesn't make any sense.

I have other clothes that are a bigger size and I couldn't even get them up my legs. It makes it so hard when you go shopping and it gets you down when you know you are normally an 18 but you have to buy a 22 to get it to fit. I have so many different sizes in my wardrobe now that I can fit into and they range from a 16 to a 22. How do I know what size I am? How do you? How can sizes differ so much between shops? Isn't each size the same measurements everywhere?

So many questions and no answer. On the upside though I think it is just about time to retire my current pair of jeans as I can pull them off without undoing them now.

This is hard work!!!

I have decided that losing weight is hard work. It is like a second job and one you think about constantly... Well I do anyway.

I had a great week last week but the previous three I hadn't lost anything and this week I have found it hard so far to stay motivated to eat well. I have been keeping myself in check although I did treat myself with a piece of cheesecake on Monday night as I had been craving it all last week and I had told myself if I get through the week then I will have it on Monday so I did.

And let me tell you it was awesome but I found I didn't even need to eat it all half was enough which is amazing as I looooooooooooove cheesecake. Not really the best thing to say when I am talking about weight loss but I even planned for it so I had enough points in my daily allowance that day to cover for it. Yay!

But I find it hard work. Does anyone else feel this way? I am determined to lose the weight to a point where I feel comfortable. I am not sure I will ever be in the healthy weight range for my height because my family is just not made that way but I want to be a healthy comfortable weight for me! So that is what I am aiming for that and to get my health back on track.

I am going to hang in there and I find Weight Watchers very easy to maintain I just get very frustrated and wish it would all disappear already! At least the first 10kg mark would be wonderful.

Maybe I am looking at this the wrong way. Maybe I need to think it is easy and it will happen. How do you think of it to get you through?
