Month: May 2004

Had a small problem with dessert on Tuesday night, but other than that… I’ve been doing okay. I took a lean cuisine in today for lunch for a change.

Nice to spend less than $10 / day just going to work for once.

Some wude words, but excellent stuff

Well done Noddy! You contributed nearly 1/7 of the total loss for the meeting. Way to go dude!

Hey Inger I know what you mean about small obstacles, etc.

I personally don’t find food issues to be too much of an obstacle: with the exception of TPTCTF I am reasonably good at resisting anything which is unacceptable (OK, and Cathi’s mud cake too 😉

What is killing me is the exercise issue. I am only sporadically making it to Kung Fu training, which is actually causing me quite some heartache, as it is the only regular form of exercise I get. I have set myself what I think to be relatively modest goal of three sessions a fortnight (in theory every Tuesday night, and every second Saturday). So far I have made just one in the last fortnight.

Paul, I wish I was like you but I find only one ‘bad’ day can lead to gains. Maybe this is another thing that sucks about being a chick? We sure love to hang onto those fat cells (in order to survive a famine I guess, whereas the males are expendable? :).

Anyway I have no doubt a gain as I had a kids party food blow out of major poportions on Saturday – about 9 pts on sausage rolls plus too many chips. That night I had dinner at Donna’s place, so it wasn’t at the usual toddler friendly 6pm but at the more sophisticated time of 9:30pm…. luckily her small brush with ww has meant the food wasn’t as bad as it used to be in terms of points (alas the woman is the best cook I know and her food is delicous. It was good to see that being lower in fat she is still managing to make it taste fabulous). But – as I have worked out, eating late is really bad for me – it has happened four times this week due to a number of circumstances (mostly around a pressing deadline).

I went into full on damage control on Sunday but a late dinner (pasta, carbs after 8pm not good) due to a wacky schedule probably only made matters worse I suspect.

I am getting really frustrated as it isn’t one major thing but a series of small obstacles that together make a bad picture. Combined with the no time for exercise (and this isn’t just laziness I promise, I have a big presentation at the end of the month for my masters submission and I am shitting myself over it).
I really actually don’t want to go tonight because i fear the scales. Does anyone have a ‘no record’ card? I don’t think I can take another gain tonight but I know that when I feel like this it is the time that you really *have* to go…..

Further to Pauls post on weekend blow outs. I am rapidly becoming convinced that I am on a binge and purge cycle (if i maaaay call it that). I tend to have one week where for whatever reason i am ‘good’ and get a good result on the scales and then i have a week where once again for whatever reason I am ‘bad’ and i tend to have a negative or at best neutral result on the scales.

Does anyone else have the same experience?

I wish i was weighing in tomorrow as i am donating blood at lunchtime. donating a pint or 2 has to cause some weight loss.

Mr DF Kosky: I have to try and work out some cruel and unusual punishment for you. Daring to make bookclub members read a book about a chef’s culinary adventures around the world whilst 5/6 members are on WW or a similar hit… tsk tsk tsk 😉

Had a reasonably good week, but Saturday was a shocker: 34 points — +9 for the day. Ouch. I clawed back half of that yesterday.

The main culprit was TPTCTF — 8 points worth on Saturday night over a hand of cards.

The only thing that makes me think that I may not balloon right up is that the belt has comfortably headed in another notch this week. Ah well, I guess that all will be revealed tonight.
