Doing well

Have been doing well this last week- I managed to crack the 73s! So very happy about that. I have a particularly challenging weekend in front of me, going up to visit my sister and the rest of my family. That is usually dangerous food wise, as snack food tends to be eaten quite a bit! I think the key to my success this week was how I ate last weekend- one big treat meal Saturday night, and while the rest of the weekend was a little "relaxed" it was done with conscious choices to minimise carbs- ie getting a wrap for lunch, eatting eggs for brekkie. If I just think on the weekends "carbs are evil", it will go a long way to minimising the damage weekends normally wreak on my weight. I certainly don't believe they are evil- but my problem is I love them too much- rice, pasta, bread, cakes- I love it all! So portion control is vital to win the battle of the bulge :)

Ok- lets do it

Came up with my projected loss targets to get back to my goal weight of 68kg- if I were to lose 0.5kg a week, I should be back at 68kg in the first week in June. That seems like a long time off, but the year is rushing by! I can't believe its March! Anyway, keen to get slimmer again so I can feel happy in my wedding dress in October.

Yesterday was another good day, and had an absolutely thrashing at my PT session last night, so hoping the scales will do the right thing! I weighed in at 74.3kg this morning, giving me a loss of 0.75 kg for the week which is great. I really need to nail this weekend coming!

My plan for today:

B: Same as yesterday
L: Same as yesterday
D: Spag bol
S: Same as yesterday
E: Netball training- the first one!!!

Pretty good result!

I ended up having a pretty good weekend food-wise- quite restrained compared to what I have been eating on weekends. It resulted in the best Monday weigh-in result this year. Which is great as it gives me a good base to lose even more this week. Just have to nail this weekend coming as well. Have been getting some good strong training runs under my belt as well, which just gets more of the positivity juices flowing!

My plan for today is:

B: Ultra bran cereal, blueberries, strawberries, skim milk and breakfast juice
L: Baby spinach, roast pumpkin, pine nuts, fat reduced feta, basmati rice (1/2 cup)
D: Chicken satay (low fat) with basmati rice (1/2 cup)
S: Nectarine, low fat yoghurt, Bodywise muesli bar
E: 1 hr PT session
