  • tonight is going to be bad.

    Given that i have been crook all week and unable to exercise combined with 1 launch and a big dinner of greek food Saturday night i am dreading my date with destiny and the scales tonight.
    Mind you though i did go on a 3 hour bike ride yesterday to get rid of the guilt from the Greek food. Sadly though this seems to have driven me back into unhealthiness.

    Bugger!

  • Blow out!

    Wow, I worked out the UniHouse committee lunch yesterday. 30.5 points for the day, so 5.5 over my limit. And they were bad points; lots of sugar.

    To try and compensate, I headed out to the wilds of Curtain Square at 9:30last night and did the TCC empty hand form. JK — any idea how many points the full form (in an embarrassingly rusty manner and fast 22 mins) is worth?

  • take the (nearly skinhead) bowling

    Today I did much better – even got all my fruit down! I had a moment at 3:30pm where I thought – “hmmm. snackie cakes” but then remembered my banana and had that instead. This got me through until teatime at 7pm and I didn’t snack while I made dinner either.

    I think I might be a convert to this fruit thing. We’ll see how it goes on the scales though….

    Don’t know if everyone is reading the comments on J’s post about a below 100kg party and going bowling. So far it is looking like Sunday is the most likely day and bowling in the evening. Since J has yoga (your fitness regimen astounds me Jacques!) at 4:30pm how does 7pm suit? Either Crown or Melb central have the facilities.

    My food diary is in the extended bit for those that can be bothered>

  • Trend vs reality

    According to Noddy’s trendlines, I should be doing the double digit dance on 19th April. It’ll be interesting to see how accurate that milestone is…

  • Well, yes

    Managed to be two points under yesterday, as well as get a bunch of bonus points from kung fu. This should make up for being 2.5 points over for Sun and Mon.

    Nodster, I was -0.9 cf previous week (can’t recall the abs value). This makes my rolling 4 week loss 4.4 kg, which means that I am still consistently, on average, losing over a kg a week. I wonder when the plateau will hit?

  • and I have a pimple

    For some reason I had one of those ‘hard to stop eating’ days. I don’t know if it is because I am around the house on Tuesdays or whether it is ‘that time of the month’ (which usually sends me into a fat/carbo frenzy). But at least today I got my fruit happening, well 2 serves at least.

    Over in the points today, have to cut back over the next few….

  • From Max to 99

    Hey Folks
    Now that my weight has dropped from 3 figures to 2 figures i was wondering should we have a small celebratory “below 100” dinner sometime soon? After work Friday night? Sunday? (We could invite Keith along and torment him with WW talk)

    We could make it a ritual whenever one of us drops below 100. Or for the socially challenged diet like crazy until you drop below 100. Eat until you rise above 100 diet below 100 and then organise another dinner?

  • How many points is cough syrup

    Well, I am in Leeton NSW. Eating okay, but I could do better I suppose. Last night had a thai chicken thingy with green vegies which was yummie and prob. not too high in fat.

    The problem is that I am taking cough syrup to suppress a nasty hacking cough I have. guess what? No food information panel! I know it contains sucrose and alchohol, but I need to count this thing properly.

    I’m doing about 3 x 10 ml shots a day and have done so since yesterday afternoon. Before that I was eating Blackberry Soother lozenges at the rate of about a packet per day. I’ve given up on them as they don’t work. But not before eating three packets.

    I am getting exercise though – I am walking to my client so I’m getting about 30 mins of light exercise a day. I’m not using these bonus points.

    Clues?

  • And in the grand tradition of Inger tracking….

    I gained weight! only 0.4kgs but still…. I am going to keep tracking here though, I think it helps.

    2 x raisen toast and lf spread 4
    coffee and milk/sugar 1
    pasta with bacon matriciana (yum) homemade 8
    home made fried rice x 2 cups (one before weigh in and one after) 6
    1 x glass of red wine.

    total 20 points

    again no fruit 🙁 I plan to start my fruit plan tomorrow. I am going to measure out the amount on a plate and make sure it is eaten by the end of the day.

    I am going around to a friend’s place to check out her new baby tomorrow. I am going to take around some morning tea and lunch. I thought I would take a fruit platter, some rice crackers and make this delicious salmon and ricotta dip that my step mother made on the weekend.

    Can you think of any other good ‘breast feeding foods’ that I should take Paul? Seeing as how I was one of those e-ville bottle feeders I don’t have a clue 🙂
