Down again! When I think about it though, I definitely didn't deserve a loss. I have been quite sick late in the week, so perhaps that is what has kept the weight down. But the beginning of the week was a write off! I tend to do ok during the day, but dinner is always so hard! 

So my days this week consisted of:

Breakfast - Protein shake

Lunch - Salad or wrap 

Dinner - Eat everything in sight! 

Ok, so that is a slight exaggeration, but you get my point. So this week I am going to work on my portion control with dinner. I have breakfast and lunch covered, but dinner is another story. 

On the exercise front, I do ok! I actually enjoy working out. I have a personal trainer who I have been seeing for probably the last 5 months. She is definitely my biggest fan. She believes in me. Most days I think her belief is misplaced, but then other days I think 'yeah, I can do this!'. My motto is 'WWKS - What Would Kate Say'. Every choice I make, I think, what would Kate say? 

And on that note, I am off to make cupcakes! Luckily for me, I don't eat them - not a fan of cakes! 

Weight today: 110.3kgs

Total loss to date: 3.7kgs 

Until next time

Short post this week. Feeling good. 1 week in and  3.1kgs down. I have been working really hard this week. My mason jars have been delivered. Yee hoo!! So I will be heading down to the supermarket tomorrow night after work, and will be making up a weeks worth of salads.. Starting with taco salad and cobb salad. Yum! I can't wait to see how they turn out! I see my personal trainer on Tuesday nights. As weird as it sounds I am getting to the point where I really look forward to working out on a Tuesday! I just have to work in a bit more throughout the week. I already do a fair bit of incidental exercise.. Here's to getting a little bit more in. 

Anyhow, today's stats:

Height: 165cm (as if this will change!!)

Weight: 110.9kgs 

Until next time

Back again version 2.0

So here I am.. Yet again. Near on 12 months after I last promised to get back on the horse, and stay on. Well, I fell off again, took the saddle off, threw it in the bin, and then sold the damn horse!

I am huge. I keep coming back to this blog to keep me accountable.. But it won't keep me accountable if I don't use it! I have set an alarm to update this blog every Saturday night (I know what you are thinking... What a party animal!! Blogging on a Saturday night?? Rock on!). So even if it is just a weigh in, well then at least it is something, which is ALWAYS better than nothing!

I need to do something drastic. But.. I DO NOT want to go down the surgical route. I feel like I can do this. All I need to do is 'Just keep swimming'. 

Every time I think about losing weight, the first think that springs to mind is 'how did I let myself get like this?' So easy to put on.. So hard to get motivated to even think about losing weight! 

A friend of mine introduced me to a blog this week called 'organise yourself skinny'. What a fab blog it is! I sat and read through it for an hour and a half - so many great ideas! One of which being mason jar salads. 

See organising my meals is my downfall. I work long hours, don't eat breakfast, and then pig out at lunch in the food court of our local westfields! So not only am I spending so much more money then is necessary, I am eating unsatisfying rubbish! So these mason jar salads seem like a really cool idea. I have purchased some reasonably cheap from eBay tonight. I am really looking forward to receiving them! 

In the meantime.. I am off to Pinterest to check out some mason jar salad ideas!! 

Today's stats:

Height: 165cm (like that's ever going to change! :D )

Weight: 114kgs (EEEEEEEKK!!)

'Til next time
