End Of Year Round Up.

well it is December 26 2010 and all I can say is 'Something's Gotta Give'.......or maybe that should be 'Change'. Nothing has so far for all my thinking about it and wanting better for myself. In saying that I have done nothing really for anything to have changed and therefore I have nothing and no-one but myself to blame. Yesterday, being Christmas Day was just a day full of too many empty calories that involved chocolates, lollies and softdrinks and 3 glasses of sweet bubbly red wine.

I played Wii fit with my 13 year old daughter in the afternoon and we both did our BMI updates. It had been 597 days since I last did mine and my BMI had climbed from 40.8 to 42.38. OBESE to say the very least, with my weight being 108.8kg. thats a gain of 4.4kg in 597 days. I suppose it could have been worse.

I need to get myself organised. I know I have fruche in the fridge as we speak so there really is no need to be reaching for the tirimisu. We also have an assortment of fruit available. I need to plan my food. I need to cut the pepsi max back to 2 a day if not cut it right out. I need to cut the alcohol right out. That won't be too hard as I haven't been drinking much anyway. Most importantly I need to exercise. Not be a lazy cow. And we all now that the more we exercise, the more we feel like exercising. I will also have to start tracking my food religiously. www.calorieking.com.au here I come. Not the forums though. I have to be honest, I am not a fan of the CK forums. And who has the time?

So today will be spent doing some research and setting some goals. Posting some photo's from throughout the year and getting ready for a fit and healthy 2011.

I'm still here.

I'm still around. I can't wait to get my thyroid sorted out properly. I have a Doctor's appointment this Friday to see what my latest blood test shows. At the previous Doctor's appointment my thyroid function had only improved 1 point after six weeks of medication. So my thyroxine intake was upped to 100mg a day. My guess is that the dosage will be increased again this week. At my last visit the Doc also threw around the concept that I may have HASHIMOTO'S. I haven't done any relevent research into this as yet but think I probably should before I go back on Friday.

My husband and I have been eating very well and it is really showing on my hubby. Unfortunatley with me and my messed up thyroid it is going to take a little longer and just this morning for example my weight has flucuated between 108.7kg and 104.6kg. Now don't get me wrong I don't normally weigh that often. The battery is brand new, so it can't be that. Maybe I shouldn't weigh at all.

We are off to Townsville after the Doctor Friday. Powderfinger Friday night and my almost 17 year old would like to shop on Saturday morning as it is her birthday next Wednesday. WOn't be long and she will be a P Plater. YIKES!!

Living an Alternate Lifestyle.

Lately my hubby and I have been talking about the ways in which we could or even more to the point should change our lifestyles. And with my hubby having to see a heart specialist this coming Tuesday the time is now.

I am really interested in eating good healthy organic food with no preservaitives or additives. In saying that I am hanging for a chocolate bar this afternoon. Not a good choice. But I will have a piece of fruit.

OMG! I love Jackie Warner. Have you checked out her show on arena on Austar? What a great work ethic. She inspires me. I want to be Jackie when I grow up.

Hypothyroid....

So I am hypothyroid. It explains so very much. Hopefully now we are on the way to getting this shit sorted and i will finally be able to lose weight.

Still here......Still fat.....Probably the fattest I have ever been.

jumped on the scales this morning and they groaned with contempt. 109kg on the dot. WTF. i am a failure at this dieting caper. to be honest i don't think i have tried hard enough. i refuse to blame my underactive thyroid but assume that once i get medication sorted it should help.

today is 3 months since i started this blog and if i was serious about losing weight i should have been at least 8 kg down by now. at least. not around 1kg up. i didn't read my previous blog entries before this one so will be interested to see the differences between weight and measurments between then and now.

todays stats-

weight 109kg
bust 123.5cm
waist 105cm
hips 143cm
thighs L 72.5cm R 72cm
knees L 41cm R 41cm
upper arms L 40.5cm R 40.5cm

Long time no blog.

weight 106.8

as the title suggests, no blog long time. Didn't look at what my previous blog weight was so not sure of any weight loss or not.

I am officially on holidays until September. YAY.

I have had some good diet days in the last week. I feel in control which is good. I hope I can keep it up.

Very boring blog I know but not much to report as I want to keep it weight loss focused.

Happy Days.

Not Giving Up.

What a waste of a week. Two good days and then crap 5 days. Or could even be more. Anyway I am not going to make excuses. I refuse to make excuses for my being overweight. I eat too much crap. Pity I like the way it tastes. But I do remember saying some 4.5 years ago that nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. Seems I have lost my way somewhat.

Today's weight. 107.1kg-107.9kg. I need to weigh only once. Once a day. Once a week. So that means weigh in only once a week. Stand on the scales only once.

This morning I cooked boiled eggs for breakfast. I suck at boiling eggs. Ruined 4 before I got it a little bit right. The whites were still clear. Yukky. I had one piece of toast. With butter. Will get a sandich for lunch.

HHMM. Still not back at work full time. Going to the pool for school swimming and swim club only. There are still a couple of problems at the pool that Council need to fix. As the schools and swim club have their own insurance thats cool but as for swimming for the public, it cant happen as I am not prepared to take the risk as I pay the liability insurance.

Oh we had a visit from Cyclone Ului early sunday morning. It was pretty hairy for a while and there are shitloads of trees down around town. And my favourite tree at the pool has gone to tree heaven as well. I have almost shed a tear at the loss of this tree. It was tree perfection. But apart from that we have suffered no damage to our house. It was an experience to be sure.

So here's to not giving up today and making good and healthy food choices for 24 hours.

Stay @ Home Tuesday.

Day 2. 107.7kg. So down a little on yesterday. Can I follow through today? Fingers crossed.

I have scored a few days off work this week although I am not very happy about it. You see I run the local Council swimming pool. They pay me a small retainer and I run the pool as a business. I have had an ongoing safety issues at the pool since before Christmas. i have reported it many times and nothing has been done. I wa shopeing to get my learn to swim lessons finished this week and then pull rank on the Council and get them to do the job. But I recieved a phone call yesterday telling me that the pool would be drained and that the issue was being seen to. That means I had many many phone calls to make cancelling swimming lessons this week and schools to ring. Considering that at this time of year I rely on school swimming for income I am not impressed. I will be passing on my loss of income to Council to reimburse me. I really wish I had insisted back in December when the problem first occured. At least i wouldnt have had to put the schools and swimming lessons on hold.

I have my folding and ironing up to date washing for today almost done. Lunch with hubby and friends. Might do some baking this afternoon as well.

All in all things are good. Fingers crossed for another good day today.

42 and FAT!!

Wowser's I stepped on the scales this morning and I am very sorry for the scales. Having had me stand on them. 108.7kg. Fucking huge.

STATISTICS.

Weight- 108.7kg

Arms-38.5cm

Bust-133cm

Waist-111cm

Hips-143.5cm

Thighs-72cm

Below Knees-43.5cm

If I don't do something now I may as well kiss what is left of my life goodbye. I puff doing the littlest things. And I mean just getting up and going to the toilet. In saying that why did I just have not 1 but 2 sausage rolls for breakfast. And not just plain sausage rolls but sausage rolls with peas. Fuck me. Thats arouns 800cals right there.

So I am going to use http://www.calorieking.com.au to help me lose weight. I have used them before and I will use them again.

I lost 24kg in 2005-2006 taking me back to 80kg. My lowest ever adult weight. The thing is who loses 24kg and then gains it all plus an extra 4kg on top of that. The thing is that I didn't find it difficult to lose 24 kg. I was always amazed that I found it so easy.

We all know there is no fast tracking permanent weight loss. There is no magic pill. We need to drink water and track our calories. Weigh our food. I am also going to try and cut right vack on Pepsi max. I have earlier this year cut the pepsi out completley and I know I can do it again.

I am going to take one day, one hour, one minute at a time.
