FOOD CONFESSIONS

I was just happy to be back home in Australia eating all my usual foods again, and after being sick the previous week, I was also starving to eat for a couple of days and even..

• tucked into a “Mighty Angus” Burger from Mcdonalds, but don’t think I will be doing that again anytime soon, considering they are 687 calories and about 12 points on Weight Watchers!
• Ate 3 of my Weight Loss Accelarator “Choc Bars” in one sitting as a snack, which is 446 calories, but probably not as bad as eating real chocolate, which I don’t have access to at the moment. Note to self, next time only purchase 2 bars at a time.
• Mexican Dinner, did go with fajita’s which are healthier then cheese options but did tuck into a bit of nachos and sourcream, but asked waiter to take bowl away when me and hubby had enough, so wouldn’t have too much.
• In a fit of sadness I did drive and buy a medium serve of McDonalds fries at midnight when I was upset with hubby… 368 calories down the drain there when wasn’t even hungry. (I haven’t done this in so many years, and don’t think I will be prone to doing it again, I felt really silly for going out and driving in the first place.)

ALCOHOL CONFESSIONS

• At Saturday night party, I think I lost count of the amount of wine I drank, but I wasn’t hungover the next day, so could of been 5 or 6 glasses… darn those people who refill your glass and you can’t keep a track of how many had!!

Weigh in 26/10 a 400gram loss and 10% of Body Weight Lost

My 12th weigh in at WW this week, (actually at the meeting!) I lost 400grams….. and weighed in at 72.1.

This means I officially achieved my ‘10%’ Weight Loss with Weight Watchers, and got the little keyring

that they give. This is the closest I have got to my goal with the help of Weight Watchers, all the other times I eventually got there on my own.. I think its important I get the support there, and to continue there at goal weight for extra help.

This is also Week 2 of Spring into Summer Action Challenge,  I’m ready to restart all my exercise, spinning, walking when possible, just need to motivate myself a little bit more to go to the gym. There is only 1.1kg to my goal and before can begin the maintenance plan at WW, so this is a big motivation.

Until next week!

 

Weigh in Day 19/10 & Spring into Summer Challenge

Would of been my 12th weigh in at WW this week, and I weigh in at 72.5kg at home.

6. Fit into a size 11 pant and size 10 dress
