This afternoon I had a homemade tortilla with alovely ansjovis topping, which was surprisingly delicious. Question is, should the tortilla be a crunchy as it was?

AND I did a WW excercise programme from the DVD, that is I completed 15 minutes out of 20, and topped it up with 10 minutes of cycling. Which means I did 25 minutes of excercise worth extra points, YAY!! I am very happy and proud of it. I plan to do it once a day, and do about 20 to 30 minutes of cycling. This has to be a valuable addition to my resolution to live more healthy.
I had my sarnies and smoothie this morning, and I will have a look in the books to see what I eat tonight. Chicken sounds fine, probably with mushrooms and rice.

AH yes, and I have decided to up the ante for earning a new spacer; 150 minutes, not 60. It is getting to be a little too easy. Next one is at 670 minutes.

A difficult day. I will not make my daily maximum by a long shot if I don't watch out. I am too hard on myself, and I feel guilty that I am not doing enough exercise. Yesterday, at work, I did too much lifting and moving. My arms feel heavy and stiff, and I can feel my legs as well. So I only did 10 minutes on my hometrainer. I will do an extra 15 before I go to bed.

I should have made a start on exercising with the WW DVD, but I am procrastinating. My hometrainer is a trusted partner by now, and I don't want to change the routine really. As I said a difficult day! I am no less motivated, just a tad "undecided". I am going to make desert.

Oh yes, I made crispy lettuce soup and froze one portion for wednesday at the office. Very tasty, and not many points!

Day 85 - 16 Charms & 7 Spacers (weightloss 4.9 lbs)


-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------


Well, what can I say, I am a very happy bunny. I lost 4.9 lbs! It has been a very good week, and this week will be another good week, Mark my words!.

- Another 1.7 lbs and I can finally put the last Charm which is burning a hole in my desk drawer on my bracelet.
- Another 5.9 lbs and I will be 149.9 Kilo's or 330.5 lbs. In The Netherlands this is the maximum for ordinary scales; my first BIG target.
- To top it all I think I can achieve this when I reach my 100th day of the new me!
- I will have lost 50 lbs!


All in all a lot of things worth celebrating - and so I am planning a small party on Saturday August 11th!

This morning I did 15 minutes on my home trainer without too much sweat. So I think it is time to up the intensity of my exercises. I bought the WW exercise DVD and will watch it tonight and see what kind of exercise programmes they have. Then I will set out a plan, and start with it as soon as possible.

Yesterday, at WW we talked about the necessity of eating ENOUGH. Eat too little and you will not loose weight effectively. Or even worse you will deprive your body of valuable nutrients your body cannot harvest from burning off fat reserves. I talked about the fact that I find it hard to eat all I should, and so I save up some of my "points" every day. This is a legitimate way to build up a reserve to enable me to go out to dinner or so. However when push comes to shove I find I do not use tem, or very little. Of course come weighing day I could just stuff my face with high points food just to make sure I have used all my points, and be done with it. But I just cannot do that anymore. I am terrified that if I do, I will lose the control I now have over my eating habits altogether. And that is one thing I never want to experience.

Today I have had a lovely salad, and a chocolate smoothie, and tonight I will have shrimp and rice. And all day I have been floating on air. I am actually getting somewhere!

To remind myself, and seasoned readers of my blog, but also to inform new readers. I quote from day 55:

When I have lost half of the total amount (FORTY kilo's) I promised myself another Pandora bracelet - as I think the first one will be quite filled- or a Pandora necklace.

**********************************************************************************
Weight Loss Resolutions
1. every 3,5 kilo; a silver charm
2. every 8 kilo; a gold and silver charm
3. every hour on my hometrainer; a spacer, hour can build up in several days, a day of rest, I start from scratch
4. at 40 kilo; a new bracelet or necklace
**********************************************************************************

My first target is to bring my weight down to below 150 kilo by october 1. However I think I may have to think about that date again, as I need to lose only 7,2 kilo in 13 weeks. That is CERTAINLY possible.


I think I will really have to reset my goals. But I will do so only when I have made this one, hopefully on wednesday August 8th, in time for my party!.

Very Strange, this morning I did not feel like breakfast at all. So I made a smoothy, which tasted too sweet, and had a WASA ready made sandwich cracker, which tasted bland. I drank my water, did my exercise, but I am not a happy bunny. Not less motivated, but just not all there. I am sure it will pass.

I am very proud of myself. I wanted to got market yesterday. It was beautiful weather and I just felt like being outside and walking a bit. Now this is quite earthshattering for me. Me wanting to walk, AND be outside when there is a chance that it will be warm to hot? Oh help! Fred phoned and asked me if I wanted to go for a walk along the boulevard. I said yes, of course I did. It is excercising too. We parked somewhere near the lighthouse, walked all along the boulevard, all along the pier, watched people bungee jumping (they are NUTS, my knees were buckling en looking at tme) and back. On the way we sat and had sushi and sashimi for lunch, and i still do not know how many points that is. Later a friend of Fred and her daughter joined us and we went to the Mac. I had nothing, while the hamburgers were all around me.

Once we got home, we went to a pizzplace (I really did not feel like cooking). Here I had a plain salad and some cheese. I had them serve the cubes of cheese seperately, that way I could decide how much to eat. Tooke the rest of them home which enabled me to count more accurately how many points I consumed. All in all I stayed well within my limit and saved points too. This coming tuesday I will be going to the Harry Potter movie, and we will go to MacDonalds before, so I am planning ahead for that.

So yesterday was a very good day; plenty of excercise, a lot of sunlight, and I was very careful with my food intake! So I am very proud of myself.

Today is the day I weigh...... that rhymes! And as ever I am a little tempted to just not eat anything. What you do not eat will not show on the scales tonight. But I know that is a load of rubbish, and I will not give into it.

I had my smoothy this morning, and no decent breakfast. Instead I will have a BIG lunch and some melon. I also had some fresh coconut this morning. I remember it being good for something I marked as needed for me, but cannotfor the life of me remember what it was. Anyhow it tasted lovely, and gave me a lot to chew on.

This morning just after getting up I did my ten minutes on the bicycle and ended up the last three minutes at 25 km/hr. This created marginally heavy breathing and I worked up a sweat. I did the exercise without the TV on, no Radioplay or book. I jyst excercised, and enjoyed it. Ten minutes always seems like a long time, but I find it seems a litte less and less every time. When I was drinking my smoothy, reading my mail on line, I also did my "rounds" past some of the other Losing weight blogs. And I was pleasnantly stimulated by all the fellow "Healthy's" doing excercise in one form or another. I am practically an excercise virgin compared to some, but I am proud of what I am doing already and the fact that I really enjoy it. Walking is fun again, and I find I actually look for reasons to go for a walk in my lunch break.

As the weather heats up, I notice that it affects me much much less. I can walk on the street without sweat pouring down my back. Apart from that I enjoy the sunshine much more, and I can walk without feeling my joints and being out of breath. In short what I get in return for my healthy living is an incredible bonus on top of losing the weight!

Funny, I feel guilty. I have been out to dinner yesterday. ButI cannot even guess the points i should calculate. It was and indonesian rice table, with all the little dishes with very small portions in it. I did not take too much rice, I curbed myself on taking to much peanut sauce, drank coke light, had no desert. Oh yes I did, two thin chocloates.

All in all none to bad, but the thing I feel really guilty about is the liquorice and the candybars (WW). For some reason there was no stopping em last night. I can save up in the days to come to cover it . But still it is shame i did not wish to contain my sweet tooth. For a moment tis morning I almost decided not to writethem down, and just make my readers believe it was a good day. BUT that would be dishonest to myself foremost. So they are noted for all to see, as honesty is the ebst policy. And let's face it if I start lying about my food intake, what would be the use of this blog?

It is all very odd, and I really don't want this guilt feeling. Today I will continue my excercise prorgamme, and my healthy eating. I will see if this has any repurcussions on wednesday.

As you may see an odd thing happens, I am sort of going points crazy, trying to use as little as possible. *grin* which will not work as I will ahve to eat at least 24, no matter what. I have mapped out the whole day and I am about 7 points short. I will give this one thought. I have an almondroll in the freezer. I may have that tonight with a cup of tea. Or some gruyere on my oven dish..... In short, having to stick to the points as a minimum, BUT also as a maximum is a good thing, or as a result of a supposed transgression I would lunge into eating to little. The human reasoning is a strange thing!

Day 71 - 16 Charms & 3 Spacers (weightloss 3 lb or 1,4 kg)

was 27.2 St - is 24.4 --> Weightloss 2.8 st in 10 weeks

-------------------------------------
CLICK HERE to read my Blog in DUTCH
To comment on today's blog CLICK HERE
-------------------------------------

It is almost as if today is a day like all others in the last 10 weeks, BUT it is not. Let me summarise why it is NOT:

1. I lost 1.4 kg this week
2. I lost 17,6 kg in total, which means I can add another charm add to my bracelet (5th weight charm)
3. This is 10% of my total weight, which entitles me to a Weight Watchers key chain. When I reach my target I will get a small golden key, when I stabilise, I get a small golden star to hang on the key chain. To mark this occasion I bought a lovely silver and gold charm (5th weight charm).
4. i EARNED ANOTHER SPACER, As I have now trained a total of 185 minutes (3rd exercise spacer).


Weight Watchers tells me that losing 10% weight has the following positive results:
- reduces the risk of diabetes
- reduces high blood pressure, which reduces the risk of a heart attack
- reduces a high cholesterol count
- joints will be strained less
- more enjoyment in exercise, as it is easier to do. This results in burning extra fat reserves, and in turn reduces cholesterol.
I would not be able to tell you if all this is true for me, BUT I do know I feel extremely well, despite a small cold. I feel very well on a daily basis!

A Weight Watchers saying: A target is a dream with a deadline.

IN SHORT ALL OF THE ABOVE IS WORTH A SMALL CELEBRATION.

My next target is again a baby step. I want to go below 150 kg, which is another 5.2 kg. On October 6 I will go to visit my "sister" in Ireland for 11 days. This leaves me 11 weeks to get there. I wonder how much I will have lost by then. It is a good target to work for! As you see my motivation is still VERY high.

And yes. for the attentive blog readers: yesterday I crashed through my maximum points for the day. I know, I know! Weighing day at Weight watchers is something I go to after work, so there in no opportunity to have a proper dinner. By the time I get home it is usually after 8PM, and I will not eat after 8 PM. As I was hungry I had two candy bars after I weighed myself, I WAS hungry.

And then there is the "island" syndrome. Weight Watchers people know exactly what I mean. Between being weighed and the start of the new week there is a 10 to 12 hour no man's land or island which feels as if anything is possible. My first attempt to loose weight I usually had chips, or pizza, or crisps, or all of the above at the same time. Up to now I have not been bothered by the syndrome much and have been able to withstand it. However yesterday I had two additional snack bars, a measured amount of pringles light and some measured dip. As a result crashed through my maximum by 4 points. I enjoyed it very much, took my time to eat them, and have no regrets.

Today is a new week. And by 6 Am this morning I had done all my exercises. I have decided to augment my exercise schedule a little bit. On days off I will add a minimum of 5 minutes in total (2 x 10 minutes and 1 x 5 minutes). My upcoming long weekend will result in 100 minutes which is almost 2 spacers. perhaps I should up the ante for the exercise spacers as I get more active.

Tonight I am going to have pizza with a friend, which has been calculated in my daily totals as I will eat only half of it. The other two pieces will find their way to my freezer again.

In short, a new week looms!

Today is a quiet day, foodwise i will save up for my used points. My excercise was not done early in the morning, I slept in late to 1 AM.

BUT I did stick to my plan for the week; 15 minutes on the trainer. I am very proud of myself. It is not really tiring, but a bit boring and I feel my backside. I know in time I will grow accustomed to it.

My foot hurts less every day, and if I use it excessively, it needs about 10-15 minutes to recuperate. I feel good, happy and content. Life is good!

This week is a week of doing every thing according to the book. And as last week was a water disaster week from hell, I am drinking my water as if my life depended on it. Two days doing really well now.

Yesterday I had guests and I treated myself two two glasses of baileys, all within my dayly limits. I made sure I had all my dayly totals, AND drank my water.

As you see I am keeping up with my exercise progamme as well. This morning I am up to 10 minutes, and I find it not that hard to do at a steady pace of 20 km/hr; I did 80 minutes this week which is the same as 26,6 Km! *grins* I like that idea bearing in mind that it is 6,6 KM to my work. Should I ever come to 66 km a week, I might as well start bicycling to my work. I calculated that this is equivalent to 40 minutes per workday on my hometrainer, or 30 minutes a day if I include weekends.

I am making sure I do some exercise every day, even if it is just 5 minutes. Because I know it is so easy to lapse for me.

Today I went to the market to get fresh vegetables, fish and fruit! I came back loaded with goodies, and will be busy freezing the fruit most of tomorrow. My freezer will be chockerblock full of food items. I do not need to worry about food very much. I have chicken, beef, salmon, smoked salmon, tuna, veggieburgers, and lots and lots of fruit!

I went to a party today, and as you see used more then my dayly intake. But not to worry it will be compensated by saving up points in the four days to come. I need to make up only 8 points.

Well, as you see I gained weight. The reasons are many I think. Bad diet, MUCH too little water, my period, the anti biotics, you name it.

But the important thing is my motivation is NOT gone. I will persevere, and won't do any silly things. Today my usual breakfast, some steamed vegetables and shrimp for lunch, and a salad and light brie for dinner. In short all is well, and next week I will have lost weight again.

I darnk 2 liters of water at the office, and the loo is my best friend today. My excercise scedule is running smoothly, i am at 8 minutes morning and evening. I watch TV while I do my excercises, or listen to a radioplay. All is well. *grins as that makes me think at the words spoken by Kirk as they left the new formed world Genisis, that cost Spock his life (Wrath of Kahn)* "All is well, and yet I can't help tinking about the friend I leave behind"

Today my first day at work after weeks of being at home ill. Boy that was not easy. The pain to my foot was considerable. And I could not "go and sit down on the couch"of course. I am fater a day of work, pretty tired.

BUT none the less, it was good to be back at work. Every one was very nice. My eatingschedule is much easire as I am not bored at all. The last 4 days were a bit of a mess. I did not go beyond reasonable use of Points, but still not very well distributed between the various foodrequirements.

I have started my excercise programme. This morning before I showered I switched the TV on, and while I watched Steve Irwin alias The Crocodile Hunter, I did my 5 minuten on the hometrainer. I still have to do the 5 minutes scheduled for this evening, which I will do enjoying some upbeat music by Mr. Robby Williams.

Then an on line chat with a friend, clear away what needs to be cleared, though my house is all neat and tidy, get everything ready for tomorrow, my evening routine in the bathroom, and then bed! I am really tired.

I don't know what it is but these past three days I have had a terrible case of "sweet tooth". And as you can see i have gone ballistic, and have eaten 4 WW snackbars. It is a good thing I am going back to work tomorrow.

I think the combination of very little or no pain, paired to being bored as my house is clean and everything done and dusted, makes me go for food. I did cleaned my hometrainer, put it in the middle of the rrom. Because as i wrote down in my blog, from july 2 I am going to start my excercise programme. And that means tomorrow.Ik denk dat het gewoon een geval is van geen pijn meer, en me stierlijk vervelen. I will staert with 2 x 5 minutes (morning and evening) and work my way up to 2 x 15 minutes in the weekend. That way i will have earned 2 spacers by sunday.
