good to know

When it comes to food preparation i’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the greatest, I find it boring & somewhat monotonous, add to that the annoyance of trying to figure out what a healthy portion size is & I’m pretty much over it before i’ve even started. That’s why most nights you’ll find me over near the microwave waiting for it to ping. 

So if like me, you think a portion of meat should be roughly half the size of your forearm & a serve of pasta is like oh you know as much as you can fit into a bowl, then you might find this quite handy the next time you’re cooking up a storm in the kitchen – 

start now!!

weekly weigh-in

Ok so you may want to be sitting down for this most momentous of euphoric occasions………….. I LOST WEIGHT!!!!!!

That’s right people, after the disappointing no loss/no gain debacle last week, I weighed in this morning & much to my surprise shock & elation I have lost 1.1kg (1.5lbs).

Can you even believe it? I couldn’t at the time, I think I may actually have broken the record for consecutive weigh-in’s in a 2 minute timeframe. Seriously I was beyond belief, so much so I couldn’t decide if I my eyes were deceiving me, the scales were broken or I was slipped a magic mushroom in my sleep & I was currently hallucinating.

I was in such a state of shock I actually ran downstairs to check what my weight was last week, because I was that convinced that there was some kind of mistake, you know like I actually did weigh less last week, or that I had overnight become numerically dyslexic & somehow managed to get all the numbers screwed up.

And you may very well be wondering why all the excitement, it’s not like I lost that much, well believe me when I say, to me it is that much, it’s a huge amount, & i’m so very proud, especially considering the only things I usually ever lose are my car keys, my purse, or ever so occasionally my mind.

9th January Starting weight: 133.8kg (294lb)

16th January Weigh In: 133.8kg (294lb)

23rd January Weight In: 132.7kg (292.5lb) Difference -1.1kg (-1.5lbs)

(Note: I didn’t take any measurements last night as I was absolutely convinced I had put on weight, so I figured urgh what’s the point……….. that will teach me for having a negative attitude!!!!)

week two – weigh in

So the good news is I didn’t put on any weight, the bad news is I didn’t lose any either.

I started off the week awesomely, all healthy eating & exercising, & then for some reason by the time the weekend rolled around I found myself eating McDonalds, & a whole bunch of carbs, & doing absolutely zero exercise. Talk about a disappointing end to an otherwise positive week.

So really there’s not much to report on my first offical weigh in, my weight is exactly the same, which I must admit is most definitely not the best outcome but it certainly could be worse.
