(new) Week 1

Well..I did my first weigh in at home with a pretty boring result. Neither a gain or a loss. Kinda frustrating as I have worked arse off exercise wise this week...but then I think I ate all my exercise points too....It is just the eating thing I need to get in control of again...

BUT...in positive things...when I saw I hadn't lost anything this morning, I didn't do my usual rant and rave an breakdown. I think it is because I don't have the stress and pressure of WW lifetime hanging over me like I did before. I HAVE the lifetime membership....so now I wanna try doing this slowly and without the added pressure! ;)

Am on 2 weeks school holidays now, so I am going to up my exercise (2 times a day!!) and see if i can see my PT 3 times this week instead of just once.

Well I feel like I am back into the swing of things. I have an American buddy who is online keeping me honest, so I am posting my food diary online in a journal the two of us share. My eating is getting back to healthy, so I should be back to GW in a few weeks!!

I love my new personal trainer too. She is working me way harder than my old one, as he did purely weights with me. Cathy has me doing cardio resistance training (I think that is the correct term!) and man am I sweaty and sore afterwards.

She is also one of the teachers for Body Attack/Pump/Combat...which could be good (or bad...depending how I look at it)...before I could just sail along in those classes, now she knows my name and pushes me! (SO I guess that is good! HEHE).

We have one more week of school before the holidays. Will work my butt off at the gym the first week and then I am at Caloundra Mon-Thurs of the second week at a Learning Brain Expo (teacher thing). Might go for a few runs along the beach while there!

Righto....Idol will be on soon...gotta jump on the exercise bike while watching ;) Did Body Pump this arvo, so that will add to today's exercise!

New start!

Ok... I have been wanting to come and type this for a while now, but have been too embarrassed to do so BUT....it needs to be done I think.

I have TOTALLY fallen off the wagon these last two months and have put on about 5kg .

Now I am not keen on excuses, but a little over two months ago, I was told that after a biopsy, that I had to go and have surgery to remove some pre-cancerous cells from my cervix. The week and a half between being told I needed surgery and the week after surgery, I just ate like shit. I was so damn upset that something could happen to me and I would leave my kids without their mother

I know that is sooo pathetic and a bloody effed up excuse, but since then, I have found it hard to get back to eating well. I am going to go into the new challenge, but will not be doing before and after photos..I just need to be kept on track. Personally, I don't believe I have a right to win, as I won 2 challenges ago and feel like I have thrown it all in your faces, by putting the weight back on (well, not ALL of it, but you kwim). I NEED to be accountable for my food.

I am pretty good with my exercise (although around the time of surgery- I did very little to none so I could be with my kids!!)...I have a new personal trainer etc. I think I am going to go back to tracking my food too. I know I can do it when I set my mind to it....just hoping I can ask all of you for a little support too (even if I don't think I deserve it).
