Weigh in day

It's Wednesday and that means it's weigh in day. Yay!!!

I'm down to 90.9kgs!!!!!!!!!!! That's a loss of 1.5kgs this week!

Only 1kg until the 80s! It's a huge milestone for me. Not the end by a long shot (can't wait until I enter the 70s!) but it's still an achievement. Yay!

Saturday I ate:
Half a tuna pattie (tuna, egg, grated cheese, herbs and spices) with ranch dressing
Bought Chinese food - I had the veggies, some breaded chilli chicken (tried to pick the breading off), satay chicken skewers and beef and broccoli

Sunday I ate:

Monday I ate:
Protein shake
Shepherd's pie
Caesar salad (bought)

Tuesday I ate:
Protein shake
Shepherd's pie
Glass of white wine

Today I ate:
1 1/2 Protein shake
Chicken wrap (in wheat wrap)
3tsp cream

Good weigh in

Yay the weigh in this week was good! :) I came in at 92.4kgs. Woohoo! So my starting weight of 103.2kgs is now 10.8kgs lower!!!

I've had one person comment on my weight loss, my beautician. No-one else has said anything. I do like it when it's not mentioned (otherwise I kind of feel like a side-show) but at the same time, I wonder if I am physically changing that much.

A nice compliment happened at work recently: I wear a uniform at work and every two years we are eligible for a top up. I ordered a size 16 shirt and a size 18 shirt. The girl putting in the order said I was ridiculous ordering a size 18 and she wants to change it to a 16. It's sweet that she thinks I'm not huge.... but I'm worried my new shirts will be too tight lol

So it's a double edged sword ;)

Today I ate:
Protein drink
Burrito mix with tomato cheese and sour cream
2 tsp cream and 1 tsp ABC spread
Tuna patty with ranch dressing

Thursday:
1/2 Protein drink
Chicken and mushrooms with artichoke dip
Ham cheese and tomato omelette (bought)

Wednesday:
Protein drink
Burrito mix with tomato cheese and sour cream
Eggs with leftover lamb kebab contents

Tuesday:
Protein drink
Chicken and mushrooms with artichoke dip
Lamb kebab in Turkish bread (the proper fluffy stuff)

Monday:
Protein drink
Shepherd's pie
Protein drink
3 tsp cream

Sunday:
Two eggs and bacon with tomato sauce

Saturday:
Ham cheese and tomato omelette (bought)

Going to have to make a change...

I'm still upset about my weight loss. Should I be? Except for this week, I've consistently lost weight. The amount changes, but the fact that it's always a loss has been consistent.

But I still thought it would happen much faster. I mean I'm losing weight in the hundreds of grams! And the low hundreds....

Why aren't I closer to a kilo a week? How come other people can lose at that weight but I can't?

I'mm cutting corners, aren't I...

... I'm not counting any carbs at all, I'm just monitoring food groups. I'm not counting milk in tea or coffee whatsoever...

... I just don't want to have to monitor things closely. I don't want to have to weigh and measure, I don't want to have to cut down on the amount of milk I have in my drinks, or swap it for cream.

I find counting foods just so much work that I actually lose motivation and throw in the towel. At least this way I am losing something.

Hmmm so I have some decisions to make.....

Why?

So no good news this week. Not only did I not have a loss, but I had a 200g GAIN!!

Of course there is a good reason - at the Hen's Night on Saturday I had lots to drink, including in sugary cocktails, I ate biscuits and chips, and everything else. Then the following day I had left over chips and orange chocolate liqueur log. And other chocolates.

I got back on track Monday which is excellent. But yes, I do have to pay for those two days. It sucks.

I really did hope that this weight loss would move along a lot faster. It's really quite disappointing.

Why is it going so slow? Why? :(

So you know what I ate on Saturday and Sunday

Monday:
Protein drink
Lamb veggie soup
Small serving burrito meat with tomato and sour cream

Tuesday:
Protein drink
Shepherd's pie

Wednesday:
Protein drink
Beef stroganoff
Small serving shepherd's pie

Today:
Protein drink
Burrito mix with tomato and sour cream and cheese
Piece of bacon and half a tomato

Another update

Well I am eating ok and still exercising, other than that I don't know how well I am doing.

There is a bit of carb creep going on, I need to get that OUT.

And it showed in this weeks' weigh in - 93.6kgs.

If anyone has a good memory, that is the same as last week.

It's possible my body works on a fortnightly rotation though? I'm getting the impression that it's only every second week that I am pleased with the weigh in.

Wed:
1/2 protein drink
2 x ham cheese and salad wraps
2 x ham cheese and salad wraps
2 x tbsp cream

Thur:
1/2 protein drink
Burrito mix with tomato, cheese and sour cream

Tues:
Protein drink
Shepherd's pie
2 tbsp cream
2 thick slices of cheese

Mon:
Protein drink
Burrito mix with tomato, cheese and sour cream
2 tsp cream

Sun:
Tuna patty
2 x ham cheese & salad wrap

Sat:
Chicken stroganoff
Chicken wrap (bought)
Lots of diet coke

Fri:
Protein drink
Shepherd's pie
Tuna patties and veggies


I'm in two minds about the cream. Should I try limiting it, or is it ok? Part of me thinks it's ok because it's keeping my calories up and I do have a tendency to undereat, the other part of me thinks that the carbs are too high in it....

Weigh in day

So today was weigh in day. Ok actually that was yesterday but I got up and left for work on auto-pilot - forgot all about it.

So.... I have good news! I came in at 93.6kgs! That's a loss of 1.1kgs this week! I'm pretty chuffed about that.

It wasn't until I was driving to work that it hit me though... I'm only 3.6kgs away from the 80s! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!

TOM also started today. I have my bloating the week before and lose it in time for TOM so I think that's the reason. At least that makes me feel better about the piddly little loss last week ;)
