Weight Watchers Poster Girl

Weigh in yesterday and I lost four pounds, taking me up to a total of 51.5 pounds lost!  Looks like it’s possible for me to be at 12 stone by the end of the year after all.

Of course, I seem to have followed that up by doing nothing but eating all weekend.  I am so my own worst enemy.  I’m going to follow points really strictly for the rest of the week.

On the positive side, today I both went to an aerobics class and went for a swim.  I think the swimming is just what I need- it’s got to tone my arms a bit, and when I used to swim three times a week was the only time in my life I actually had abs. (well, visible ones.  Of course I’ve always had them…)

I weighed in today and I only lost half a pound.  I know it’s better than a gain, or even a stayed the same, but I really want to lose another stone by the end of the year (14 pounds) and I’m kind of running out of time.

In better news, I’ve tried on the dress I want to wear to the Christmas party this year.  It’s my graduation dress from 2003, and it’s a generous size 12(UK).  Well, it fits.  Still a little clingy in parts, so losing another five pounds or so will only improve it, but it definitely fits and it’s definitely wearable.  So three cheers for me on both counts, I have a dress that fits so I don’t need to buy something new, and I now fit something I’ve been keeping in my wardrobe since about 2004 hoping to fit it again!

I think now the weather is colder I’m not drinking enough water anymore, so that’s my aim, to drink more water this week.  Then hopefully I can have a decent loss next Saturday.

That’s me.  Despite having spent last weekend in a beautiful Italian city, where I seemed to do nothing but eat pizza (and believe me, it was GOOD pizza!) I lost three pounds at weigh-in.  Very happy.

This week I’m going to a reunion for my old work. Am very happy that I’ll be wearing a size 14 instead of a 24, and weighing 13 stone instead of 17; nd yet I still feel flabby and fat.  Not really looking forward to it at all:(

I am going to the gym tomorrow with a friend from work, it’s just the motivation I need because since I ran my 10k, I’ve really got out of the habit of exercising, and exercise could be just what I need to tone me up and get me feeling a bit fitter (well, that and a boob job/tummy tuck).

And that is my downfall.  I have a friend coming over for dinner tonight, I was trying to save all my points so I could have a couple of glasses of wine - and what do I end up eating for lunch?  Three bowls of 0 point soup… and goat’s cheese.

At least the goat’s cheese tasted good.

Another two pounds shed at weigh-in today.  I’m really pleased, but I also know that I have to work harder at my motivation.  I’ve started nibbling on things, and edging over on points - this is a slippery slope and it’s got to stop.  Plus, the party season is coming up, so there will be plenty of opportunities to over-indulge.  I need to rein it in now.

I tried on my little black dress today - it’s do-able, but it’s not flattering.   I wore it to my graduation five years ago, and  I really want to wear it to this year’s work Christmas party.  I am going to try and focus on the dress when I feel the urge to go over the edge!

Oops - last night with only 4 points remaining for the day, I went to a spur of the moment work drinks.  I sort of lost count of how many drinks I had, but I’m guessing it was around 12 points.  Now I feel revolting, can’t sleep, and I have to get up for work in an hour and  half.  What was I thinking???

Well, I went to work in my red dress, got lots of compliments and one of the male partners winked at me.  Okay, that’s not quite the appropriate reaction to show your staff, but hey, I’ll take it.  One thing I’m really starting to realise is that when I was at my largest, I didn’t even feel female.  Now, I’m starting to feel attractive again, I’m starting to feel like maybe I could actually attract male attention again.

I was saving points to go out for drinks on Thursday, but my friend cancelled, so I thought I’d treat myself to fish and chips instead.  They tasted fantastic, but now I feel so, so sick…  Guess I’m just not used to that kind of food anymore.

A great day for my ego today; not such a great day for my wallet!  Today I went shopping.  The highlight of my trip was buying an amazing new dress for work - size 14!  I’m speechless… Also, while trying on a twin set in another store, I had to ask the store assistant to bring me a size 14 as the16 was too large (I didn’t end up buying that one, though.  I thought about going back, but since I’ve now spent heaps of money, I might wait for another month….)

Needless to say, I’m over the moon and can’t wait to go to work tomorrow!

Despite all the booze I drank last week, I have lost another two pounds!  And what’s more, my WW leader asked me to bring in some of my old fat clothes next week, to motivate people by showing them what’s possible!

To celebrate, I went through some of my really old thin clothes, and now I have 3 new shirts to wear

Another not great day.  It started when I woke up from a bad dream at 2 in the morning - I was so rattled that I went and had a high point chocolate. (yes, I know that makes no sense now!  It did at the time!) Then I was in an all-day meeting, so I had to eat the nasty sandwiches provided.  Finally, at the end of the day, I was still working, and the night secretary brought round cake.  Well, that was so nice of her, how could I resist?  And now it’s weigh in day tomorrow…
