week 32 1/2: -1.4kg

Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment

I couldn`t resist it this morning and was totally amazed when I read the number on my scales. I have to admit it myself, that it`s not fair. If only you knew what I ate… I must be the only person on the planet who ate like a real pig at Christmas and still managed to lose 3lb…

I however felt like I had lost more weight around my hips and waist, I felt it from the way my clothes fit and from my image in the mirror. So out came the measuring tape, and I have indeed lost more cm in the last 5 1/2 weeks:

Stats at beginning, 32 1/2 weeks ago:

weight: 71,6kg (74,6, actually, at the very beginning)

waist: 87.5cm (… and who knows what my measurements were…)

hips: 108cm

belly: 94.0cm (-10)

I won`t do that to myself…

I tried to take the healthy option whereever possible, but there were just such vast quantities of food…

week 31: -200g

Back to 62kg again which is what I want to be until I decide to lose the rest.

It was a roller coaster, though. Again, I felt I`ve eaten too much all week, then my period finally came, 2 weeks late. Friday, I was 62.8kg and Saturday 63. And this morning 62, so I`ve decided to count just that and attribute the rest to my period.

Week by week, I am amazed at how much I can eat and maintain my weight. I always expect to have gained now that I eat more again. At the moment, it seems so easy to maintain.

Glad to be back at 62kg in time before Xmas. I notice that I become anxious when I eat too much, excercise too little or gain weight. Before my period, I could see a change in my body - bigger belly and love handles over my knickers. It looked so familiar, like my old body, even though my brain tells me that there `s still almost the same weight between the present and the old one!

Am I becoming too obsessed again? No, I don`t think so. I`m not obsessed when I`m doing well or normally, I only ever get anxious if I have eaten something which does not really fit into the plan. Then again, I still eat it, so it can`t be so bad.

I feel I put a lot of importance onto the scale but I need this tool to ensure that I never, ever will get fat again. THis time, it`s for good!

week 30: maintained

Extremely glad. According to what I`ve eaten I feel I definitely should have gained. Glad to be able to eat that much and maintain. I need to learn maintenance.

Every time I eat something I feel I should not have eaten or have not excercised (have not been running since Saturday :() I`m anxious that I might regain the weight.

Last night, once again, I decided that I need to make a more conscious effort to make sure that the things whose ommittance helped me to trim down are not sneaking back into my life.

My husband has bought scones every morning this week and asked why they did not get eaten. I said that they should be for the weekend or maybe twice a week, and he understood. But it`s other things as well. Snacking, larger lunches, carbs at dinner (never much), not excercising. Christmas sweeties.

I feel that my belly has become larger and rounder again, just as it used to be. Not so very long ago I was amazed about how flat it was. It seems like the novelty factor of being slim is wearing off.

I`ve lost and regained weight so often. More than now, less than now. This time, it`s meant to be for good.

Although I`m not in a great hurry to lose any more just now, I`m determined not to let it creep back. I can relax a bit, for sure. But my weight is 62kg exactly, and when it`s more, I need to do something about it right away.

This morning, it was 62.2kg. (This is about 2kg less than I felt…)
