  • Bad feeling

    12 point lunch @UH C’ttee today. Ouch

  • Good feelings

    Hmmm… I know it is only Thursday midday, but I have a good feeling about weight loss for this week so far. Nothing quantitative, but I think it is good.. however, I am about to head off to UH committee meeting, and also have a wedding to attend this weekend… argh!

  • what Jacques and Inger did next…

    After a virtuous and filling lunch of chicken noodle soup at the vietnamese noodle house, Jacques and I went to “Max Beerbum’s chocolate bar” at Queen Vic. What a fantastic chocolate experience is to be had there. A shared pot of chocolate fondue and six strawberries a piece was worth every bit of its 4 points – and one of those is a fruit point and all!

    We highly recommend – as Jacques says : “A sin shared is a sin halved”

    mmmm – strawberry chocolatey goodness…..

    I get a little over excited … (can you blame me?)

    On a more serious note – this is the type of chocolate experience that the ww magazines always crap on about – small on quantity, big on quality. Really satisfying without too much guilt (in fact none if it is budgetted for eh?)

  • tonight

    Hey Folks
    By my calculations tonight is night 15. does that mean that we should be having a photosession?

  • more rounded then ever

    mmmmm…..easter eggs. Now I have to be in ‘povo mode’ with my points for the reat of the week. But it was worth I tell you – worth it!

    How was your easter Jacques?

  • bunch o lard arsed slackers

    Hey Bloblular Ones. What happened to Tubbies. I have been away from the net for a week or so and where are the new entries?

    Did anyone go to Monday WW session and if so what did i miss?

    Should we be doing the photo thing next Monday? (week 15 by my count)

  • Some cryptic Xword clues to yell out

    Excellent example of an epitaph for a pig!
    They steer from the pulit, not the cockpit!
    Abortive, but without odd bits of cheese

  • Blowout

    I felt rather crummy last night, so I had a carb and dairy blowout. The work situation is pretty rooted, so it was one of those emotional things. Like Nicole, though, I found that the extent of the blowout was limited by feeling incredibly full after only getting about 66% of the way through the planned gorging. I still ended up +7.5 points for the day.

    Hot tip: Felling shitty about your work situation, and then going home to watch the DVD of “The Office” is a combination that leads to emotional triggers and wanting to blow out. Avoid. I might mention this at the next meeting.

  • 2.3 less of me.

    The only good thing about having to bail last night was that I had a ww compliant dinner of baked beans on toast 🙂 It really was a 2 parent job that toddler evac, it took two verbatim renditions of “where the wild things are” with Luke doing the sound effects to get him to stop *screaming* all the way home….

    ….tired and hungry is a deadly combination, as us ww-ers surely know…..

    Thanks for the praise guys. To be perfectly honest I haven’t been tracking with the same zeal as I was for the last couple of weeks. Call it superstition but whenever I write down every last thing I put on weight! I put the success down to the portion size at night thing as well as eating fruit (when you think about the old metabolism actually it makes sense). Also helped by the fact that I was able to get a bit of moderate exercise in now my toe is feeling better (not normal yet, but getting there).

    I *bet* I will put weight on in the coming week, its just how it works. But I am going to try to minimise any gain or keep it steady by continuing to be careful at night and keeping my carb intake to only 5 serves a day. I have also atomised the protien over every meal and try to get at least a half an hour walk in each day to try to get the metabolism moving along again.

    I took B to the zoo this morning soon I really got my walk in. About half way through the hour I bought B an ice-cream but this did not present a ww challenge. You see it was milo flavoured and his two very favourite things are milo and icecream. Everytime I begged him for a taste he yelled “No mummy! Mine! Yummy!”. Eventually he relented and let me have the most measly bit off the end of the spoon, that was a poofteenth of a point but it was yummy 🙂
