I'm going to be a 50's girl!

I've had an excellent day today! The day didn't begin too well - I made the mistake of weighing myself this morning as I was curious, and abolsutely hated seeing the digits 65.7kgs peering back. I shouldn't weigh myself apart from once a week, because it definitely dictates my mood. I was depressed all morning, until I was inspired by a friend at uni who has just recently lost 3kgs, and is the lowest weight she's been since highschool. She was super excited, and it motivated me a lot!

We did fitness testing in our lab at uni, and it felt good to do some sprinting and get outside for a bit. I didn't enjoy testing our posture - having someone critique your body isn't fun! Unfortunately we have to do these labs... I'm just glad it's all over!

I went to the hospital this afternoon to visit my cousin who's just had a baby girl! She's gorgeous, and it was great to just sit and chat to my cousin for over an hour. As I was leaving I saw a cute little cafe, and went and had a skim milk cappuccino and sat and looked through the paper. It was very relaxing. I hadn't had lunch at that stage, and it was already 3:30pm, but I wasn't feeling hungry. I did have a delicious ham and salad bun when I arrived home at 4pm, just so I wouldn't be starving, and could wait a bit before dinner. I'm making marinated pork kebabs and a lite caesar salad. I've marinated the pork for about 24 hours, so hopefully it's delicious!

I'm enjoying listening to my body, and just eating when I'm hungry. I'm also really loving eating something different every day, and having my menu plan written out - I'm always excited to see what I'll be eating at my next meal! I had blueberries and yoghurt this morning, and it was lovely!

I can't wait to go back to Weight Watchers tomorrow; it's been too long! And this time, I'm sticking with it, and even when I reach goal, I'm going to keep going, every week to keep me accountable. At the end of June this year I'm off to America for a month, and my new, more realistic goal is to be 57kgs at home, and 59kgs or less at WW (you weigh in after breakfast and with clothes and shoes on at WW so you will always weigh more than at home). That gives me roughly 15 weeks, which means an expected weight loss of at least 500g a week, which is definitely achievable. The only big challenges between now and the end of June are Easter (the chocolate isn't a problem - I don't really care if I have it or not - but we go away for 4 days to a Christian convention in Queensland and food is provided) and my 22nd birthday mid April. I'm aiming to walk or run each morning during the convention, and just watch what I eat and make the best choices possible, and for my birthday I'm hoping to keep to my points, but treat myself to a lemon tart with ice cream and a skim milk cappuccino and just enjoy it, but not go crazy!

I feel different, and I know I always say that each time I get on a roll, but seeing the numbers rising on the scales, and knowing if I don't nip it in the butt this time, it'll get out of hand, and I refuse to keep putting on weight - I'm going to be a 50's girl, and I won't stop until I'm there!
