20 October 2012 - Update

After last week's incredible ordeal, it seems this week was not meant to be a good one....

Unfortunately I got sick and found myself comfort eating a lot :(( so I won't dwell on this update, I was sick and I ate...what more do you need to hear? :D :D :D

that being said, I am still the same weight today as I was last week, so still happy-ish.

Onwards and onwards it seems.....

Never lose hope of gaining loss

Firstly, let me apologise to all you readers who were expecting an update last week. I did not have a chance to do it as I was singing/attending the Global Leadership Summit among other things, and when I did get chance to update you, I decided that I would just leave it and give you a double helping this week :))

Sooooo, cast your minds back two weeks, I was depressed cause I had gained 4 lbs and made a pledge that I would get myself back on track and lose those 4 pounds. I explained how late night snacking had taken over my diet, and that if I could get over the weekend, I knew I would be fine for the rest of the week.

Well, things didn't get off to a good start, and by Monday I had put on another 2 lbs.....yeah I weighed myself again, but I felt I had too after a lunch at Wolfes Diner on Sunday. Anyway, that meant I had gained 6 lbs in total....nice huh?? But that's when the determination set in again and for the rest of the week, I did good...I did very good....I lost the 6 lbs.....yes you read right, not only did I lose the 2 lbs I had put on since the start of the week, but also the 4 lbs that I had gained the previous week. Now, I know what you are thinking, HOW?? did I starve myself?? NOPE!!! I love my food too much for that. The truth of the matter is a little too crude for detailed explanation....but lets just say, what goes in, eventually has to come out....and apparently the average human carries 6-9 lbs of food in their stomach and intestines. So I was back on track, and feeling great....

That gave me the boost I needed this week. Things were awesome, perfect in fact, no more late night snacking :)))) But then it happened....my nephews birthday party, and the most delicious southern fried chicken goujons I have eaten....and I did eat....about 12 of them!!! BLEUGH....well not literally, but I couldn't face food for the rest of the night, in fact not until 10am next day :P

So I had low hopes of this week being a good week after that, buuuuut, I was wrong, and today I am pleased to report that I have lost another 4 lbs :))) I am thinking that this has a lot to do with the long walk my daughter and I went on yesterday and my lunch time walks during work as well...but now that I have lost 66 lbs in total (30 kilos) I think the time is coming when I need to up my exercise regime. I will give it some consideration over the next 2 weeks and then report back what I have decided to do, but until then keep the faith people, never lose hope of gaining loss, and continue to take little steps to on your way to better health.
