Last week - 71.5Kgs
This Week - 71.6Kgs
GAIN - 100 grams
Feeling pretty disappointed in myself right about now :( No one else to blame here for gaining weight except for myself. I know 100 grams isn't much, and there are probably a lot of contributing factors, but it's still a gain.
As I said in my last post, I feel like I have been stuck around here forever, and I just don't know how to get past it. It's been a big week, with Madi's birthday, and other birthday parties, but i really don't believe that's the culprit. I think it's the whole lack of meal planning and snacking that has been my downfall. I'm normally pretty good with the whole planning thing, I know what we are eating for the next fortnight generally, but for the last fortnight the plan didn't get done and I'm paying for it. Shopping day is Wednesday, so I have today and tomorrow to go through my cupboards, see what we have available, and make a new plan. I absolutely HATE having to organise what we are going to do for dinner each and ever night, so if i do up a list, once a fortnight, and stick to it, it makes the afternoons a whole lot more pleasant. It also helps our shopping bill, cause this running to the shops to grab something every 2nd afternoon business has not helped our bank account AT ALL.
So I guess my goal this week, is to try and get on top of life, exercise and food. It's been a massive struggle with everything lately, and it's really getting me down. I'm going to start tracking my calories again, and trying to do my 3 lots of exercises 5 times a week. I only have a week left to lose 1.1kgs, to get to my 20kgs in 6 months goal, and i don't think it's going to be do-able :(

Last week - 72.7kgs
This week - 71.5kgs
Loss - 1.2kgs
Ahhh for the first time in a month i've moved out of the 72's! Gosh it feels like it has taken me forever to get over the 72 hurdle. I guess it has all been self inflicted, with not eating and exercising like I should have been, but hey, everyone needs a break occasionally.
So today marks my 19th Kilo gone. 1 kilo to that magical 20 and 1.6kgs till the even better numbers that begin with a 6. 3 weeks, fingers crossed till I see that.
In 2 weeks I will have been on this journey for a full 6 months. I'm not going to measure between now and then, and i'm really hoping that I can break that 20kg barrier at the same time.

GAIN - 200g
OMG my first ever weekly gain. :-0 I know I should be shocked but i'm really not. We've been on school holidays away at the beach and diet and exercise were pretty much the last thing on my mind. I needed some 'ME' time, and time off all the counting. I really missed the lack of exercise, and can't wait to get back into it this week though. I seriously need to work on my organisational skills, and get some kind of routine happening. I'm not very good in that department!
I got the new implanon put in on Wednesday just gone. Until today, all i saw was gain, gain, gain. I was FREAKING OUT! I know the increased hormone is going to mess me around for a couple of weeks, but i AM going to beat this and still continue to lose weight with it in.
I've decided to stop doing my measurements every week, and am going to do them every month from now on. The reason being is that now i'm getting smaller, I'm not seeing the big numbers that I used to, and it gets me down. I know that the numbers are going to get smaller, but when it starts to play with your mind it's time to take a break!
On other news, during my holidays it was my birthday and I went clothes shopping! I ended up coming home with SIZE 12 CLOTHES!!! I don't think i'm quite there in the pants department just yet, but it won't be too far off. At the beach I tried on a pair of my Mum's size 8 pants. 6 months ago i couldn't get an 18 up over my thighs and done up, so imagine mu surprise when i got these on!!! Now it certainly wasn't flattering, and they were TIGHT, but they were ON. lol. This then prompted me telling my mother i was coming to get her and soon her cool wardrobe was going to be invaded by me. She was pretty excited about that, she can't wait till we are able to share clothes again.
A week later, I come home after our holiday, to find 2 garbage bags full of Mum's clothes waiting for me on my bed! Even before our conversation, she had taken all the clothes that she didn't want, and left them for me! Some people might think i'm silly for wanting to wear my mothers clothes, but she dresses pretty cool for a 50 year old. I always told her that I had to dress how she is meant to dress, and she dressed how I was meant to dress, so now i can start to look young and funky again too, and not like a grandma! Most of her clothes were a size 10-12, and i can get a few of them on, and hopefully it won't be too long till i can get ALL of them on.
I think that is just about all my news over the last 2 weeks! All caught up!
