Friday Weigh-In....Meh
200 grams.
That's all I lost this week. 200 grams.
I spent ages on the treadmill...did the regular weight and cardio sessions and watched what I ate and drank.
200 grams?!
Ahh well, I suppose it's a loss, which is better than a gain....But 200 grams?

Friday weigh-in
Another successful week...
I lost 900 grams this week, which brings total weight loss so far to 3.6 kilos.I thought my weigh in would be disappointing, but I have to say that I am again, a happy camper.
It's funny because a few years back I was at the weight I am right now and was almost nearing depression because I weighed so much. Now I'm happy because I've got down to this weight....what the?
OK....Bring on Christmas!

Happy Camper
Another successful week on the treadmill, Pilates and workouts...where did I find the time for it all....
.... what with work and everything else going on ....Anyway, I recorded a loss of 0.8 kgs this week...bringing my total weight loss in the three weeks I've been on this "journey" to 2.7 kilograms. Don't you just hate that word...maybe I should try to find another...quest maybe? Endeavour?
Ahhh whatever, it seems to be working and yep, I'm a happy camper...

Not Happy Jan!!!
Yes...this is the exact look I had when the doctor gave me the news today.
To my disgust, my blood pressure is right UP. In fact he took it TWICE just to make sure it was the correct reading! It's probably because of my shocking weight gain over the past year or so, I understand that, but it's the first time ever I've had high blood pressure. It's so disappointing because I've been working out a lot lately, and it doesn't appear to have made any difference.
Two sessions of cardio and weights, one 90 minute session of pilates...and walking my arse off another three days a week. I mean to say, isn't that enough?
Anyway, he's given me a script for some stuff to take and then I have to go back and see him in a month
Let's hope my efforts over the next four weeks pay off and I can get back to "normal" again, whatever that is
Bloody Hell it's annoying!!

More (Realistic) Success
Another successful week on the weight loss front
I weighed in half a kilogram lighter this week, which gives me an overall weight loss so far of 1.9 kilograms
I know it's just about every weight shedder's goal to lose multiple kilos each and every week, but a loss is a loss, and whether it be 1.4 kgs or 0.5, I'm happy
It appears the walking has made a difference. I got on the treadmill most days this past week and walked between 2 and 3 kilometres. If I can summon the energy to do that every day, then the weight loss journey will be a successful one. I hope!

On My Way!
Some early success. My first weigh-in and it's a good one.
A loss of 1.4 kgs this week. Let's hope I can keep it up!
Not getting carried away so early on this journey, but it's always good to get a positive result at the start, to kick you along.

Hippy Hippy Shake
After last night's dinner party of Veggie soup, roast lamb, scalloped potatoes and asparagus, followed by Sticky Date Pudding with cream and caramel sauce, I started thinking it was time to get serious about losing a few (read: many) kilos.
I'm too damn heavy for my height. When I was at school I weighed 55 kgs. I always felt I was chubby but now that I look back I know damn well I wasn't. I was just fine and now, almost 30 kgs heavier, I'm way past chubby and am downright FAT!
Back in 2005, a girlfriend and I started an on-line weight loss challenge. My aim was to lose 15 kgs. Her aim was to lose 25. I didn't make it but did lose 9 kgs and I was very happy with myself. I looked good and felt terrific. My friend almost made it and lost 21kgs and she looked sensational! But we've both put it all back on and then some.
She lives in a country town so has gone back to doing Weight Watchers on line, and has so far done pretty well.
I already do a session of Pilates once a week as well as two-hour long sessions of cardio and weights. But it appears it's not enough.
So...today, Sunday 7th June, it's "D-DAY" Diminish my body day
I got on the treadmill, for the first time in ages and worked up a sweat. I walked for 2 kilometres and tomorrow I'll do the same. One can only hope that I will lose something in the first week and then go on from there
Off we go!
