Monday Weigh-In (22. August.2011) UGW COMPLETED!!!!

Wow wow wow. Can you believe it? I had to step on the scale TWICE this morning to make sure the number was correct! 59.4kg's!!! (131 lbs)!  SUCCESS!
It's taken a few hours to actually set it. I knew it was achievable but I thought it would take a lot longer to do. I am so happy with myself. I did it. I DID IT! Which means of course, that you can too.
I picked up my parents from the airport last night (around 11pm). This morning I got showered with gifts and trinkets from France, Italy, Denmark, Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Finland, and I loved every minute of it. The only bad thing.. they bought back lots and lots and lots of chocolate stuff. Oh boy, I was so over whelmed and a little scared at the thought of finally getting to my Ultimate Goal Weight and then having it be wrecked because of all this food. So I have devised a plan!
I didn't get this far by not sacrificing things and not working hard, so.. I do plan on trying the things, but I will limit myself to 1 item per week :)  I think its a good way to get what I want while maintaining and keep loosing weight.

Next goal; 55kg (121.3 lbs), I don't have a date for this yet.. I will review it and get back to you. For now my lovelies, I have to go to class. I leave you with a small bit of thinspo...

Girly problems and all..

Well, I must say I'm not really one to talk about this kind of thing openly, not with my friends or family (including my mum), but this is my blog and I feel safe here.
Anyway I just figure out that.. I haven't had 'that time of the month' in about 7 weeks... I don't know what to do. Do I go to a doctor? I'm not really concerned, I look at it as more of a positive thing; hey, who wants that annoying thing anyway.
I was thinking that it could be because of my weight loss, but I'm in the healthy range for my age and height so I don't know. Has anyone else experienced this?
Oh, I should mention that pregnancy is an impossibility and I'm not on birth control or anything else that could be messing with my hormones, and I am not some super athlete.

P.s. Went a bit overboard with the calories at dinner, so I'm doing a liquid fast at breakfast, then gym for 40 minutes, then meeting with a friend and my god sister for a 'coffee' and 'cake' (for me it will be a soy chocolate milk shake or hot chocolate and hopefully nothing else).

Monday Weigh-In (15. August.2011)

First of all I would like to begin with a BIG thank you to Kes. Some times you need someone to kick you into gear and help you get out of your own self-pity rut. Your words really did help me. I've made a meal plan for the coming week and I plan to stick with it. I chucked out the ice-cream and put all the peanut butter and biscuits away in hiding and I actually forgot about them. You'r right, I don't want to undo all my hard work or the months that I've been doing this will mean nothing. I'm going to the shops this week to buy more green veggies as I've run out.

One thing I haven't mentioned is that I love to volunteer. I think it's important to give something back to the community, even if it's just a small amount of your time. Every year I do a small amount but this year I hadn't done any, so I thought it was well over due. I ended up volunteering at this music competition. Anyway, what it meant was that I didn't end up having lunch or dinner last night because I was there from 12.45pm until 6.30pm. You know what the best part was? I didn't even feel hungry. I guess it's because I had a bottle of water with me and lots of minty gum. I have been dehydrated lately which I think contributed to the fact that I couldn't stop eating. Luckily I now have a bottle to bring with me to university as well.
For lunch today; 2x corn thins; 45 calories. 1x 65g tinned tuna flakes in spring water 98%fat free; 75 calories. total for lunch; 120 calories

For those of you who don't know, when I first started out, I made a list of the exact weight I wanted to be at for each week. For the 15th of august (today), I was supposed to be at; 61.73kg (136.1 lb).
Today I AM; 60.5kg's (133.4)!! That means I lost 0.9kg's (2 lb) since last week!

I am exactly 0.5kgs (1 lb) away from being at my UGW!!!!!!
BRING IT ON!

Heavy

Thank you little miss thin for your confidence, but honestly I'm pretty sure that I've gained again this week. Oh the joy's of going back to uni.
How do I know this? Because I feel seriously heavy AND I haven't had a chance to go to the gym this week. I feel like I was so close to my UGW and now it's slipping further and further away. I don't know what to do.

Monday Weigh-In (8. August.2011)

Well what can I say, disappointed with this weeks weight, but I can't say it wasn't expected... I was undisciplined this week and it shows in the result. I even went to the gym twice, so I'd hate to see what it would have been if I hadn't gone. 61.4kg's (135.4). Gained from last week. :( not a great start to the week, but it reminds me that I have to be stronger, resist the temptation. I have to stay away from the nuts and the vanilla bean ice-cream in the freezer! There was a luncheon at church and I kind of binged there, so I guess karma got me. Oh well.

Does size really matter?

I was thinking about this yesterday. What a stupid question. Of course it does.
What's the easiest way to insult a guy? say something about his penis size.
How do you (in 99% of cases) offend a girl? insult her about her weight.

In saying that, I think the world would be a better place if more people would speak out and say what they really think about other peoples weight to their faces. I mean, at one time or another 90% + of us here would have been insulted about our size. BUT in my case, being mocked and humiliated (made me feel bad, yes) but I did something about it, and i am still doing something about it.
I guess you could argue that it would make 'emotional eaters' eat more blah blah blah, but honestly, if you really cared about what they were saying then they'd get of their fat arses and do something about it. Then they would receive complements about how good they look and would continue to loose weight. Therefore the world would end up a skinny, happy, healthier place.
The END.

p.s. yesterday; burn over 400 calories at the gym, i know i said i would do 500, but I feel i did really well.
wow, i had a really crappy day, and this is making me feel so much better.

What did I do

Oh man, I really stuffed up. Not feeling crash hot. Started the day of really bad and it's ending on a bad note as well. For breakfast I had I had oat pancakes- I haven't had pancakes in over 7 months. Well, it turns out that they taste really good...but they are really really heavy- as in the feeling you get in your stomach later on.

So that was breakfast, lunch was an apple, a small mandarin, and a few slices of beetroot. That was ok.. but dinner.. oh boy.. that went so bad. I ordered fish and chips. I almost ate the whole lot. It's left this horrible oily sludge coating the inside of my mouth. It's so nasty, not to mention how bad I feel now.

Tomorrow- unless I get called into work- then I'm going to the gym and my goal is to burn 500 calories. That's what I think this crappy dinner was worth, and there is NO WAY that I'm letting it destroy all last weeks hard work.

Kes- Thank you for your support :)  It is much appreciated.

Right now I feel like this;
