So, not to blow my own horn or anything… no wait, I WANT to blow my own horn!

Since last Tuesday’s weigh in, I have lost 1.4kg on my home scale.  That’s 3 pounds to you non-metric people.  I know I need to wait until Tuesday for the finals, but really, I’m stoked.

You know why it’s gone down like it has?

Planning ahead
Tracking everything
Exercise
Saying “no” and keeping in my mind that going off program is NOT AN OPTION right now

So I missed out on drinks with colleagues on Friday (said I was too tired, which I was in fact), the Canadian Breakfast Mixer at work on Friday (each month another group of people do a breakfast for us to reconnect with each other - this month was from the Canadians, last month was Mediterranean, month before English, etc)  - I just didn’t go downstairs at all because I didn’t want the temptation.  I had no real dinner on Thursday at all because I got home so late from bellydancing. So there are sacrafices, sure.  But what I really WANT is to lose weight!  More than anything.  More than birthday cake, candy, canadian breakfasts, cocktails, etc.  I want this more than anything.

Funny thing is, I want to get outside today and my husband’s decided we have to deep clean the house!  He’s constantly calling me a bat or a vampire because I like to stay in!  How ironic is that?  Ah well, cleaning burns calories too, right?

Watch this space;  next tuesday I’ll be down officially at WW too.
