Hmmm. I always seem to be a little bit more motivated each time after I have been naughty. I guess I haven't been terribly naughty, but not 100% on track!! This morning I finished work and went back to bed until 930am which is unlike me, lately I have had very little energy and sleeping in till 845am is fine by me! I'm usually up and at em by 730am so it is somewhat annoying. Any who, I then went and met a great friend of mine for a 'fitness' walk. Instead, it was a casual walk around the bridges which actually ended up being a nice 5km walk or so, but it was taken at a slow pace AND we stopped for a gorgeous breakfast on the way. I had old lucy hat on and ordered the salmon and potato hash. I never eat potato so this is odd for me... it was yum, well, the salmon and peas were yum, the potato not so much, but of course I ate it all up ;). Although in saying this, it will keep me going for much of the day. I have work tonight for 36 hours straight which means I need to plan for two dinners, a lunch and a breakfast and take it all to work to prepare.
Breakfast will be easy: a packet of porridge with some yoghurt and prunes
Lunch: I have some mushroom soup, although I'm unsure if it will keep until tomorrow lunchtime? Lets hope so.
Dinner tonight: I can probably have before I have to be at work.
Dinner tomorrow night:.............................................................. goodness me. I have some eggs. Well, ONE egg. I may just have to make a trip to the super market before work I think.
In other news, I have a personal trainer. I'm off to see him next Thursday for my first session. I have worked with him before and he is pretty good, I think he will push me to the limit too so that will be great. He is convinced I will lose the 6kg I want to pretty easily to get to my dream weight. I was SO SO SO close last time, with only 2kg to go but I mucked that up. Really disappointing..but i just LOVE food. I need to think of easy yummy recipes that aren't bad for me!! Get thinking girlfriend!!
Also, thinking of converting to Tumblr for this new weightloss? Unsure. I also took photos yesterday which I am too ashamed to even put on here, yet I know it will be great motivation.
Ugh.
Over and out.
Considering the gym this arvo.
Why do we worry so much?

Wow.
I have just read EVERYTHING I wrote when I was on my weight loss journey. So impressive to see how far I came and the struggles I went through to get there. I remember, so proudly some of those moments, yet so shamefully some of the others. Right now its a shameful moment, but i do hope there are not many more of them to come. I have eaten out, one way or another for about 3 weeks straight, NO exaggeration. I feel terrible.
So. With the help of Ashy Bines Clean Eating Plan and a HINT of motivation (let me tell you, its not raging!!) I shall get back on this bandwagon and give this all another shot. My body obviously plateaued at a reasonable 68kg (after putting on 4kg over summer!!). I want to get this back down, and more. I don't know what makes today different from yesterday or the other days, but today I am motivated.
I write this at 10.21pm after a full day of eating.
Two eggs scrambled on toast
Two small handfuls of shapes
A cup of AMAZING tomato soup with tortilla chips AND half a muffin
Two pieces of toast with loads of butter and some marmite
A cup of tea or two
A cup of coffee too
A beeeeautiful dinner cooked by my lovely boyfriend from Ashy Bines Clean Eating Plan!
Onion Rings
A choccy fish and another cup of tea.
Bed.
Tomorrow will be a better day filled with considerably less carbohydrates!
Tata for now.

the 8 kg battle.
Hi,
Yip, hello. Sorry I haven't been on lately. In a little bit of denial I think to be honest about how much weight I've put on and how I have done it also! In previous posts I had written about eating a whole amount of food since arriving back in Wellington and not really stopping. I have toned it down, a LOT - but I think that is almost just out of chance. There haven't been the big xmas do's or the shared lunches around as much lately and my body has been praising me for it! I have been trying to get a few walks in a week but it is a far cry from the every day a week (sometimes twice a day) routine I had going. So just last week I joined the gym - I have a two month membership and so far I have used it about 3 times and the adjoining pool once. I have been trying TRYING TRRRYYYYYING to get up early to get to the gym before work and it has happened twice. Tomorrow will be the third time (if I get to sleep very very soon!)... I want to start posting photos again soon because I found that often gave me some sort of strength to keep going when i'd see those wide childbearing hips come up on the screen!!
So the title says the 8kg battle? Yeah... thats how much I want to lose by THE END OF THE YEAR. So I have 11months to lose 8kg - starting tomorrow. That is SUCH an achievement, I just need to take it bit by bit. So I have set out a wee plan and by April I hope to be back down to 65kg. I will post a photo for every KG i lose! Yes I will!
Things not so good

up up up!
ahh... post holiday blues. haven't worried about what i've been eating for the past month at least... and lets just say things got a little out of hand. I ate my way through loads of choccie, bread, butter, sweets, icecreams, hot chips, hotdogs and ALCOOHOOOLLL. That last one HAS to be the reason I am now 4kg heavier than when I arrived. I had gone from drinking nothing to drinking most weekends and it has to stop. I have set a new goal and apparently I will meet it by March if i stick to the goods. I started today off with quite a big breakfast of porridge and some toast with scrambled eggs... haven't been hungry just yet..its all about listening to the body, right? I think its also about having great choices in the house for me to munch on... I remember a time where I would have strawberries and nuts for lunch - so good and it kept me tied over - I had the best routine ever - no wonder I lost so much weight!!
Time to get back into it.
Looking forward to a new me.
