Well so far so good. Have been tracking for 2 days now and both days I have been below points. In fact yesterday after dinner I still had 10 points left which was good cause the rest of the family were having a Sara Lee Apple Crumble with cream. I looked up the points and boy it sure is high so I weighed out 100gms and counted that as 6 points. Then I looked up the points for Pura Thickened Cream and thought no way am I gonna waste 2 points on only 1 tablespoon of cream so luckily I had some custard in the fridge still so had half a cup of that for 1.5 points. Still went under points for the day and still stayed very satisfied. Quite happy with yesterday food wise.
Today, I had a bigger breaky than usual as I not only had cereal with milk, I added a banana (unheard of) and also had a wholemeal crumpet with WW jam on it. And I can honestly say I was not hungry again until lunchtime. Rest of the day worked out fine. I really don't mind looking up points values in my book and adding it to my journal - well so far anyway.
Because I know this is definitely the last damn time I am gonna try losing weight, I know I have to give it my all. I will be trying my hardest not to binge, not to overeat, and not to eat when I am not hungry. Oh yeh, I even took a cut up carrot and cucumber to work for arvo tea. My workmate asked me if I was for real and I said "sure am".
So that was my day. Can't wait till saturday to weigh......

Joined Weight Watchers
Yes, it has been quite a few weeks since I have posted - and I admit I am a slackarse!! It is a little bit harder now that I am back at work but i bought a brand new laptop yesterday with a battery that actually works so I won't be stuck to the one powerpoint at home and I will be able to type up my daily post in bed if need be.....
Anyway, my last post crapped on about how great calorie king is, and yes I still think it is but after using it for a month (and losing and then putting back on) I decided that counting points is a whole lot damn easier. So,,,,, I have rejoined weight watchers yesterday (not gonna say how many times previously I have joined) and feel quite renewed and starting something totally new again.
At the get into my head that I am really starting new, I have ripped up and thrown out any previous diet books (ww included) and journals. I am no longer looking at the past and gonna look to the future from now on. I have always dwelled on how many times I have tried to lose weight in the past and think that I am still damn fat, which gets me to thinking that I will never lose weight and that starts me spiralling down a black hole! Well, this time it is different. WeightWatchers has a new program (Satisfaction) with all new books and stuff so as far as my mind is concerned - this is my first weight loss effort and it is gonna WORK....
Weighed in at 113.8kg and my first goal of 5% is to get to 108.2kg. That is doable and plan to get there by the end of a month (considering the first week is usually alot higher loss).
I am still paying for Fernwood so plan to go back there as soon as my ankle is better (rolled it over 6 weeks ago and it is still swollen and sore). I had my xray last week and know that it isn't broken - just inflamed still. Going to physio on Wednesday to see what he can do to help speed up the recovery. Now that I have joined WW I just want to start exercising as well.
My promise to myself is to stay tracking, keep exercising, and stick to this for the long term. All the other WW times, I last about 4 months and give up cause my weightloss slows down or stops and I hate going to get weighed if I haven't lost. This time I have spoken to the leader upfront and told her that is my history. She told me to look at this for life and not to get bogged down in the week to week weighins. She is damn right you know and I really, really know this is my last damn chance of health before I turn 50 (now only 19 months away) so I GOT TO STICK TO THIS....
