Round the bays results

Well i also this week got my results for the round the bays
i came 1175th out of 30,000 open participants and completed it in 111.35 mins!!! not even two hours!!
Very stoked as that is not toooooo shabby

Next plan of attack is the half marathon in october with a few of my friends, will actually have to train for this as there is alot of up hill and down dale-ing and me and hills aren not friends!!

back to that saying though "not for long" we will be best friends before too long....walking over the bridge too how very exciting:)

WIll keep posted on this

Week 9- and im non descript today

Well its a nother week and i was SOOO excited last week as i thought i had that next step insight and im happy to say that for the most part i am on track from my eating but my sneaky look this morning says other wise and i guess im preemptivly a little disheartened.... will have to wait till weigh in to see if there is any difference.....fingers crossed


Weighed in and it was a plus...but it was only 400g which if i adjust my portion sizes again then i'll be back on track before too long :)

Much loves

ME



Update: extra happy now- just found out the stats for our Weightwatchers at work and as a group we have lost 29.1 Kgs and my 8.6kg is 30% of the total lost making me the biggest loser!! normally i would hate the reference to being a loser but i think in this case i will make an acception :)

Can i hear a Woot Woot!!

Well this week i have tried really hard and it has Paid off even wearing my new very heavy Pants, i have still Lost 2 KGS!!!! ....and as my friend Steph say heavy pants aside you still lost 2kgs Laura Loo....
Which has given me a grand total of 8.6 Kgs in 8 weeks!!!
i only have 1.2 Kgs to get to being 110 or under
and only 3.4 to get to my 10% goal!!
I am now comfortabley a size 18, as i can fit all but one brand of 18
its crazy how quickly things change when you put your mind to it.


Have bought myself the cook book "the Really contented Tummy"
save myself from the temptations of take aways and making yummy food

Doomsday

Well Yesterday was weigh in... it was two weeks since i had weighed in last and quite frankly i had been pissing around with my eating, i even ate things i didnt want to out of....stupidity can be the only thing to describe it....if an award was given for outstanding effort in self defeating acts/ Self sabotage then i would have to say i would win hands down over this last two weeks... Now i have some people who think that is to do with self respect and i agree for a part as letting myself GET to where i did was down to me not respecting myself but in that same token it was more to do with me not really liking myself OR feeling i was good enough to be healthy and fabulous, so while i have had a bad weigh in( it was a gain of 1.2kgs) now being bloated due to woman stuff could be a factor? but I have no excuses for they way I have been eating lately as i am fully responsible for my actions but im not going to get down in the dumps about it or punish myself for my mistakes as at the end of the day i am human and this is a learning experience and im certainly not going to allow myself to think of it as a utter failure or that i am a bad person as the only difference a successful person has is that they take the failure they learn from it and they keep going...and I AM NOT A QUITTER!!!


SO!! i have restarted on my super start food plan and will follow this again for the three weeks to kick myself back into it, i have unsuspended my account and started back at the gym and most importantly i am writing down what i am eating as this is where i was really decieving myself and not adding things properly....
so watch this space as my determination is renewed and i will have new photos soon to prove it!!!

But i dont even Like Chocolate

Now i have never really been fussed by chocolate i dont crave it, i dont have dreams about it i dont get a taste for it as truthfull most of the time its far too sweet and the fear of getting a migraine is deterant enough, so i wasnt really too worried coming up to easter i hadnt requested an egg for this year and knew i wouldn't be getting one, and i certainly wouldnt be sad to not get one.
WELL let me tell you something stupid, i thought i would Shout the team some eggs being we worked easter sunday so in i went with my little "basket of marshmellow eggs and mini caramel filled eggs and even pineapple lump flavoured eggs, happy i would be bringing joy to others' but to my disappointment i left work that day with so many left oveers i almost considered a lolly scamble as i drove off,But then i remembered i was visiting a house with a child YES i thought i can be the "cool frind who deliver chocolaty goodness and not have to look at the chocolate, i say this as the pineapple lump ones had me curious,
So i arrive feeling filled with a belived satisfaction i would be delivering hoy and i offered the eggs to young( and Gorgeous ) Daughter and " sorry laura i cant east eggs"..........*screech* what do you mean hunny?...."Im alergic to chocolate and nuts and gluten and...."wow poor kid!!
and so i offered them to the parents....wouldnt you know it the parents wer both having teeth issues.....so a sneakily left a few bags of marshmellow eggs and left with my tail between my legs and two packets of marsh mellow eggs and two pineapple lumps packets....Damn it
well i did endulge in the pineapple eggs and they were delicious and points wise not tooo bad
and thank goodness for Kate and her grand kids next door for taking the rest off my hands :)
and thank Double goodness the meeting was cancelled this week as it gives me extra time to start walking again:P

3 Days till next weigh in

Shopping is getting fun!!

Well its the weekend and im working and i have to say YUM i got to Work this morning and what do i have on my desk but a hollow dairymilk chocolate easter egg, i am happy to announce that it was delicious!
I am getting the picture that i rely heavily from other people to gauge how i feel about myself not sure why this is but if someone like they did today says'Hey Laura you are looking REALLY good its making such a difference to you" i feel like i have won the lottery....must work on a POSITIVE self image...as i sometimes dont feel it:)

I went shopping on thursday as i had the day off and i have gone down a pants size.... and tops are getting easier and easier to fit it is nice to know that i can now start shopping for things and not have to "improvise" and move seams and change the style of the colthes so that they fit.....Awesome!! so i allowed myself $50 this month for some clothes and honestly ive spent heaps more as i was so excited i could fit stuff

I have this pair of jeans from a slimmer time in my life and they are really the judge of how good this loss is getting as before i would be dmaned if i could even get them to even go up high enough to go over my thighs let alone do ANY of the buttons up on them..... they are still VERY firm but they go over the thighs with not too much difficlty and AND! i can do two of the 5 bottons up, all of them if i lie down haha but then i have that muffin thing BIG time and i can walk properly hehe my flatmate was most amused as i pottered around to the various sized mirrors getting a reflection of them on......

not sure what is going to happen with my weigh in this week being that it is Easter on Monday so i may need to wait till the following for a weigh in.....

Its all starting to make a difference!!.......

Im sure most people at some point in there lives have had a pair of jeans, the jeans to rule them all, Well i have this pair, gorgeous and the shape was great and well they fit ok except for one tiny thing, and the day i started WW i couldnt even do them up they were SOOOOO tight and when i wore them depending on the top i would get horrid muffin back or it would dig into my waist and hurt if i sat down as it dug in to my tummy fat......well today is a wonderful day i have climbed the mountain and i can say HORRAY my jeans fit me no Hurt when sitting down no muffinback when standing up....... it feel so nice to Fit your clothes.....i think i really understand the meaning thank heaven for small mercys....

Had a yummy Pea and ham soup for lunch today, and am going for a swim at the pools in newmarket tonight with a friend.......mmmmmm heated pools lovely!!
