A Better Week

Last week was an improvement on the week before! Nothing much to report, I really need to start on the exercise part, but just have no motivation for it at the moment. Not having someone to train with makes a huge difference...

A few weeks in between

So I've been very very slack with this blog... We have had two more lots of visitors and the start the the preschool year to deal with since my last entry. Through all of that (namely a lot of eating out while people were holidaying with us) I still managed to lose a little bit... At least those scales are going down and not up!

I'm still sticking to the Weight Watchers plan for the most part, and trying really hard not to snack, especially after 9pm! While we keep nothing "nice" in the house, and getting dressed and driving to the shops for a chocolate fix is very unappealing, late night snacking is almost non existent in our house. I'll just have a glass of water instead then, shall I?! Not quite what I was after, but it'll have to do :)

End of Week One

Last week I was good. REALLY good. I even rejoined Weight Watchers online. I love being able to count points online, especially since the laptop is never far away. So, I was counting my points and eating really well. Up until Friday! We had a friend come to visit, and well, instead of being a over the top about what I did or didn't eat, I just went with the flow and tried to choose foods that weren't as bad as some... It must have worked. At least I lost something last week, even if it was such a small amount. A loss is still a loss! The box of Roses and McDonald's stop obviously didn't help, but I'm not beating myself up about it. Life is going to always get the in way and I don't want to get all anal about what I should and shouldn't be eating. There's no fun in that at all!
Back to the WW plan this morning though :)

New Start for 2009

2009 is the year of weight loss and fitness for me (as well and attempting to become more frugal, but that's another post altogether!).

2008 was a year of being pregnant for what seemed like forever, and finally giving birth to Reuben on the 20th October.

In March I need to look relatively decent in a beautiful bridesmaids dress for Meegan and Rob's wedding. This is my main source of motivation for the next 9 weeks or so. I don't want to be the largest in the bridal party!

So far so good. But it's only the 4th Jan :)

I had given myself a wide girth for 'healthy eating' up until today, as we weren't supposed to be home from holidays until last night, but we made it in good time and drove 14 hours straight on Friday. This drive all depended on what the boys were like and whether we needed a break and stay somewhere over night. Luckily we didn't and so I got an extra days start on my goal for '09.

My only gripe: Why is it so expensive to eat healthily on the run?

Because we didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on food and drinks on the trip home, we kept to the major fast food chains. McDonald's got a rather large donation from us over a few different stops along the way home!
