quick post (not for the squeamish):
Went out last night, not too late, too much FREE wine. good times.
This morning woke up, puked bile (because I am foolish and didn’t eat dinner).
Weighed quite a significant amount less than the morning before.
Got on ferry 3 hour trip over ROUGH waters (puked only twice! bye bye egg sandwich!)
Got off ferry. Got back on ferry (really don’t ask me why, I was getting paid for it). 3 hours later, got off ferry again and went home.
Feel like crap and have to do the ferry thing again tomorrow. After which, I am DEMANDING a foot massage from D. :)

Off to bed. See youse later ow.

I’ve had a sinus infection all week. Ugh! Felt miserable and haven’t made it to the gym. I almost have control over both nostrils today, but for a while i couldn’t breathe through my nose! How irritating as I usually keep my mouth closed and breathe 100% through my nose. I’ve kept to my calorie limits and haven’t had any alcohol all week. Unfortunately I’ve put on weight. It’s just a fluctuation and I’m trying to not let me get down about it. Especially since D is down 3kg since MONDAY.

Fitday made a graph of how i should be losing weight to get to my first goal, and I am still ahead of the game, so hopefully I’ll start dropping the weight again. I’m learning good habits again though. I’m doing well with fewer bad fats than normal and topping my good fats up with LSA and Flaxseed oil (in my porridge).

D is being so good about the dieting thing. He’s recording everything in Fitday and has not suggested any desserts or just opened me a beer or anything at all this week. He’s not eaten any fast food (a miracle for him!) and has been waking me up early to see if I’m well enough yet to go to the gym. It’s already been rewarding for him so he’s quite keen to keep moving forward with this healthy lifestyle.

I cannot wait to be working again. I’m so fully bored.

 

Shame keeps me from blogging…. but there is no shame here! April 15, 2008

Well there was. I’d had such a good day on Friday, and ate very little in the daytime, so I deserved a homemade burger and fries. Yum! So tasty, and really not that unhealthy. All was fine.

Started on the wine and went to my mate’s house, he’d just returned from Australia (he was gone a year) and we all ended up in town. All good, i didn’t drink in town (I’m broke!) and was heading home when I was diverted by D towards Burger King. In line, I said I wouldn’t have anything. And I even said “nah I will just have a couple of your fries” to D when we were ordering. And somehow about a minute later I was munching down on a crispy chicken sandwich. I blame the booze. And D. He ordered me the meal against my wishes. Again, I blame the booze.

Anyway, the next day I got on the scale and showed a gain of .5 pound. Not as bad as i thought. And hungover, Saturday, I munched all day. Went over my allotment by a few cals, and Sunday I did okay, but I had avoided weighing myself until I felt back on track. Yesterday I was pretty healthy. Ate a bit, but stayed under my cals. And now I have lost a little more than a pound over what I had lost before. Yay! Tonight I’m going to the gym. And I’ve got D entering his stuff into fitday on his own computer now too! YAY! He’s put in a goal to lost 8kg in 2 months. He’s already dropped 2kgs since the weekend. ha ha.
