I was doing some messing around on photoshop this morning and thought I'd add these:
This is my total progress since starting back in Feb 2007. As you can see, I have not always been the perfect little Weight Watcher!
Milestones acheived so far:
My Progress this year:
I finally got there!! I lost 1lb at wi and got my 10% keyring!! It feels like it's taken forever, but somehow that doesn't matter anymore. I really wasn't feeling confident about a having a loss at all this week, as I haven't exercised as much as in previous weeks and my tracking hasn't been 100% perfect, but overall I have been making healthy choices 90% of the time, which has obviously made the difference! My other proudest achievement this week was on Saturday, which was a girls night out for one of my mates birthdays. The mate in question didn't end up going though, as her nan sadly passed away earlier that day, but she wanted the rest of us (3) to go out and have a good time as it had been arranged for weeks and everyone had really been looking forward to it. I felt a bit weird about it, but went along, as we were going for a Balti first and I expected it to just end up with us just having the meal and going for a quiet drink somewhere afterwards. How wrong I was! Luckily that night I had offered to drive -a good start! At the balti house I had a poppadom and abit of mango chutney, chicken tikka & salad for main, with a saag bajee, a little of my mates rice (which we planned to share, but I ended up having hardly any of) and a couple (literally!) of chips. I also drank several cans of sugarfree Redbull during the meal. After that we ended up going into town and spent most of the night in a bar which we had frequented in our youth. I normally avoid it like the plague, as I hate everything about my hometown, including the majority of chavites who reside there. However, there was a really good vibe there, and I spent hours on the dancefloor bouncing around and having a brilliant time. I think the Redbulls must have really kicked in, as my two mates who were drinking had to drag me away from the dancefloor to take them home! And at only 1am!! Pair of lightweights!! At least I know now that I can have a really brillant lowish point, booze free evening! Excellent! ;-)
I realised I haven't posted for a while, but I think that is mainly because nothing momentous has happened on the weight loss front really. Last weekend I went away for a long weekend in Bath, and missed my thursday wi beforehand, so that was not a great start! I had been good in the week leading upto it, so I think I should have lost, but I wasn't even tempted to have a sneaky peek, so I guess I'll never know for sure if I did. Even during the weekend in Bath, I don't feel I went overboard, although I didn't track.. I said no to the Full English breakfast for 3 mornings running - first time ever in a holiday situation!! - Instead I had a bowl of mixed fresh fruit with a little bit of yoghurt, and scrambled eggs on toast (with baked beans on the last morning). I had a few nice meals out in the evenings, including a veal escalope, and a thai chicken curry. I had one really crap meal which I utterly regret and only ate because I was so hungry at the time - it was a chicken, bacon and bbq melt with chips - probably the most unhealthy of all the meals and I didn't even enjoy it. The cheese was a crappy cheese slice that wasn't even melted and the chips were burnt and greasy...yuk. Looking back, I can't believe I put it in my mouth!! Oh well. It was my intention to get back to the exercise and tracking as soon as I got home on Monday night, but that didn't happen! It's almost as if I thought to myself "I've been really good in Bath, so I deserve a treat!". So wrong, and so stupid! So when it came to wi this week I wasn't feeling optimistic. However, I managed to pull off a 0.5lb loss! I don't know how or why, but I am so relieved. I was so worried that I would be back in the 19's again and I really didn't want to be!! So now I am just 1lb away from my 10%! I realise that this week i'm going to have to work doubly hard to get that 1lb loss and make sure that last weeks slip up doesn't catch up with me!!
