So, I am back on the train, and have made a small loss this week. I am aiming again for under 75 kilos. My first mini goal is under 70 kilos, and so if I weigh in at under 75, then I will know that I am well on my way.
The scales read 75.2 this morning, so I am well on my way to achieving my goal this week. The question is can I do it???
I always get a little dissapointed at small losses, but I read something this morning that kinda changed my mind. A loss of 250gms per week might seem like a 'bad' weight loss, or not a very good one. We all want to pull big numbers, we all want it now now now! (Stupid Biggest Loser!) But 250gms per week, or a kilo a month, is 12 kilos a year. I know I coud do with 12 kilos gone! So I am not going to stress the small stuff, celebrate the big stuff and enjoy myself!
My goals for today are:
1. Google vegetarian sources of protein. I need to eat more of it, and less fat. Beans? Legumes? Tofu? I'm gunna find it.
2. Gym. Not a hard ask, I love going to the gym.
3. Eat healthily. (dur!)
Healthy thoughts! xx

Fallen off the bandwagon...
So, we have had guests here for the past week..... and there went my diet......
But, I went for my weigh in today anyway, explained that we had friends staying from Geraldton, and she had 5 kids, and that I had slipped a little off the bandwagon. She said it was fine, and that I needed to go back to exercising everyday and eating well, and it would all slip off again.
After my little epiphany, I am a lot more comfortable with this. Counting calories and watching portion sizes is something I will have to do for the rest of my life, no question about it. I am a human being, and I will slip up and have bad weeks, but I just need to go back to eating healthy and exercising. I will not be a fattie!
Two things I have realised in the past week:
1. Kewpie Mayonaisse is very, very dense, calorie wise. At 100 calories per teaspoon, it is a definate treat item, not an everyday kinda thing. Ooopsy.
2. Lettuce is very filling in a sandwich and really, really low in calories! A cup of shredded lettuce is only 4 calories. I don't like the tasteof lettuce on it's own, so I have never really bought it very much, but I am really enjoying it in egg and salad wraps. The eggs and a little mayo go well with the crisp lettuce. I know many many people know this, but I have only just figured it out.....give me a break! I am learning!
Go me, I will win this battle!
PS......zumba-ed this morning.....very very fun!
