2 nite
How do people think that they will go tonight? I’ve had an up and down week. I think that I will put on, which is a shame. The same themes keep popping up:
* boredom @ work;
* colder weather => need for more energy (or is this just an excuse)?and the chocky mud cake at the futures retreat I attended will not help matters, I am sure.
A quick weigh on my scales at home would indicate a rise of ~ 1kg for the week 🙁
Of the thirty kg I had to lose, the first twenty was a doddle. I’ve been hanging between 20 and 25kg for a while now. It took be nineteen weeks to lose the first 20kg. In that last ten weeks I have lost 3.5kg. Time to refocus I think.

Moment of Truth
Tonight we’ll see how bad the last few weeks have been for me. I’m looking ofrward to this weigh in — I suspect that this will be the thing that gets me back on track.

Lose weight easy way, and line of the day
I’ve just lost 0.2kg in 15 mins. The secret? A hair cut and beard trim.
As I was walking back from the barber, a guy has approached me: “Hey, mate, I haven’t eaten for two days –”
I cut him off and said, “What remarkable self control! Who is your group leader?” and kept walking. He stared after me, quite confused, poor petal.

Let’s see if this pedometer works
Okay, so I bought a Bonus Buddy.
I’ve read a couple of other places that 11,000 paces is about right for a continuous weight loss regime. I’ll try a day of “Andrew” exercise, and get back to everyone about how bad that is, and then I’ll up it if I can to 11,000 whilst I’m in Sydney.
I’d be interested in seeing how many steps a bonus point takes according to the pedometer.
I’m also staying with a vegetarian whilst in Sydney, so I’ll find some of the better places and eat there. Back to tracking!

Tonight!
We learn about the wonders of WW catching up with the Atkins program, the Zone and South Beach diets. Finally, WW tells us that carbs are probably not our friends and they were wrong after all.
I for one will be interested in the new program.

ps. I will most likely weigh more due to excessive breakfast consumption last week whilst in Sydney. Plus although I was good at lunch and dinner, I don’t think I can make up for two days of big breakfasts. But I have a secret plan. I’ll let you see it tonight.

No more excuses
Here I am in Sydney in an office with a beautiful view.
I randomly chose my hotel like I normally do as I almost always get it wrong, and end up being a million miles away from my client’s site, but not far enough away to get a cab or a train. However, this time, I managed to pick a hotel right across the road. I literally walk 20 meters to get to my client.
I realised that not only am I slack, but also my subconcious is too.
I was talking to a guy today who is helping me on my project. He has lost 22 kg in the last 14 weeks by exercising at the gym five days a week, and using Light and Easy pre-packaged meals.
I have to up the ante on my exercise, or I’m just wasting my time.

Two links for you
Woojae’s IMPOSSIBLE iPod Challenge of DEATH!
Delights like this await (but you have to explore!):
They’re just like us, but well, fruitier. For example:
“I think I am becoming an anorexic woman. I went to Costco the other day and I bought some stuff. I got some gum, energy bars and a tub of vodka. Kelly said, “Sal’ you’re becoming an anorexic woman!” I looked in my cart and knew it was true. In fact, now that I think about it all the women I know have my exact same eating habits. And every time I’ve been shopping with a skinny woman she bought three things: gum, alcohol, and energy bars. I thought I might be going crazy, so I asked my friends if they thought I was becoming a woman. I told them what I bought at Costco. They weren’t surprised and thought my purchases were normal. I was relived until I realized that they were all girls. The only difference between their usual purchases at Costco and mine was that they bought a fourth item: Tampons. I was in the dining hall tonight and this girl I was eating with looked at my dinner of Raw Broccoli and soup and said, “Sal.. you are and anorexic woman.” I was depressed. I think I’m going to have to eat a steak or cheeseburger soon to make some testosterone. Even if it doesn’t do that, at least it it will make me feel like a man.”
Classic!
Lastly, what link post would be complete without:

ps. Had a bad day. But for a bad day, it’s been a good one!
