Yay for being back on track!

Well it worked! I managed to get back on track - exercised my butt off, drank heaps of water and tracked religiously and ... I lost 3.8kgs this week!!! No that's not a typo - I really do mean 3.8 kilos! How awesome is that??? Pretty damn amazing I think if I do say so myself lol.
Only 1.7 to go to get to -30kg now so it's finally looking achievable again. Worked out last night I'd had 4 gains in 4 weeks (ouch) but lost all that bar 200g last night so all is good.
It's great to be back on track and in the zone again. Here's hoping I can stay there for a while at least this time lol.
Ok, better go off to work I guess - yay Friday!
Stay safe out there people,

Day one - AGAIN

Right, here we go again. I have mucked around enough. Put on enough weight. Wasted enough money. This year has been a bit of a non event as far as weight loss goes so far but all that is about to change. As of this morning the past is in the past where it belongs and I'm moving onwards and downwards! I WILL DO THIS! YOU JUST WATCH ME!

Explaining the photos!

OMG I am so not blog literate! Took me forever to upload those photos earlier and even then they are not how I want them! I wanted the fattest ones first then moving down to more recent but um ... didn't work and I wanted captions underneath them but nope that not working either! Anyway, not sure if you can see any difference in them or not but the bottom two are when I first started in September 09, the next two in Oct 09 after losing 10kg and then the last two in Dec after losing 20kg. Still waiting to be able to take 30kg ones!
Have been really struggling for a while now and just thought maybe posting some photos would remind me of how far I have come and encourage me to keep going. Watch this space!

Where does time go???

Mmm where does that time go??? It's been ages since I last wrote in here! Well I'd like to say that things have been going really well and that I'm on target to my 40kg by my 40th but ... unfortunately that wouldn't be quite true :-( The sad reality is that I'm still struggling to get to the 30kg mark and since Xmas have lost and gained the same 3 kg countless times. I've gotten within a couple of hundred grams a couple of times and then been 3 kg+ away at others. I guess on a positive note I am still hanging in there and have not given up entirely but boy am I sick of the yoyo effect! No-one to blame but myself - just can't seem to get my head in the game anymore.
Just been down to the local produce shop and got me lots of yummy fruit for the week so hopefully can turn things around again before WI day on Thurs cos the weekend certainly hasn't been great so far!
Watch this space - I'll try to remember to blog more often ... yeah, yeah I know - it's been said before lol.
Til next time,
Cyns xoxo

Monday already!

Well, I've managed to stick to the plan for the past 3 days so that in itself is a minor miracle! Na, actually lets be honest - it's a totally MAJOR miracle lol. I'm not feeling overly enthused or inspired but at least I'm doing it! No exercise yet but I have had my 3 year old god daughter staying all weekend so been a little difficult there BUT I am going to go to an aqua aerobics class shortly and will go for a walk with my wonderfully supportive WW buddies this afternoon. Then the plan is aqua on both Tues and Thurs morn (with WW buddies). Last Thurs I was ready to throw the towel in and these two wonderful ladies somehow managed to convince me not to give up and even coerced me into planning some exercise that they'll join me in during the week. Amazing support - I am so so lucky!
Anyway, it's been a very lazy day so far, so time to change that and go get active!
Catch you all later :-)

Oh how time flies!

I had intended to be more regular at posting on here but so far that hasn't quite happened - I tend to be a little sporadic (to say the least) lol.
Well I'm still hanging in there with WW but am struggling big time (again). I just can't seem to get my head in the right space anymore. I worked out earlier that so far this year I have only lost 3.6kgs. Ok, so I hear some of you saying "well it's better than gaining them" and I agree BUT when you consider that in the 3 months prior I lost around 25kg it's really quite pathetic! I need to somehow get my head back in the game but it doesn't seem to quite work just by saying it unfortunately.
BUT on a good note, today has been a great day foodwise, it's now 8.30pm and I still have 9.5 points to play with so supper, here I come! I think I'll have a caramel latte made with milk (4.5) and an apple (1) so can save the other 4 points. Pity I don't have an hot cross buns or chocolate (or maybe just as well lol)!
I'm going to try really hard to make this whole week a good one and have a good loss on Thursday. Hopefully that'll spur me on for the next week. Sounds good in theory anyway - lets just hope I can put it into practice!
Will try to post more often too :-)
