Seven Day Loss: 3kgs/6.6lbs

Hello!

So the official weigh-in was this morning.  It worked out to be a little under a pound a day, or 3kgs for the week.  Sure, it means that I have achieved this weeks mini-goal, but I can't help feeling I could have done better...

I have a new "event" goal, too.  I am going to a baptism on November 26th, and I want to be at least another 6kgs (13.2lbs) lighter by then...

Intake:

1 * Slice Multigrain Bread (71cal)

1 * Vegetarian Sausage (85cal)

1/2 * tbs Tomato Sauce (9cal)

2 * tsp Mustard (10cal)

TOTAL = 175cal

I'm not exercising today, so I want to keep my intake below 200cal.

PS: Apologies for the short, staccato posts of late.  I'll post something with a bit more depth soon.  Promise!

Hello all!

I'm so nervous about the weigh-in tomorrow...!  I keep having this nightmare that I will wake up and have gained like 100lbs overnight.  Bizarre, I know, but terrifying.  On to other things...

Went back on the treadmill yesterday afternoon, and almost passed out.  Apparently, restriction, nurofen and periods don't mix well with aerobic exercise.  Who'da thunk?

Todays intake:

2 * tbs Olive Oil (240cal)

Mushrooms (36cal)

Baby Spinach (5cal)

Garlic (8cal)

Chilli (0cal)

Apple (80cal)

1/2 * tsp Almond Slice Batter (15cal)

TOTAL = 384cal

OMG! That sounds so much!  God, I wish I could purge.  I have tried so many times in the past, and for some reason my body just will not let go.  Maybe I should go on the treadmill and just risk it...

I love the sixth photo, where she is wearing the peach bikini.  Her waist looks so tiny, and her stomach to flat and toned!

I'm off to comment.  Stay strong!

Half of Brisbane has descended on my house today, so I have to be quick:

Intake: 380cal

Outtake: 455cal (atm, though I may go back on the treadmill later today).

Just as a completely random sidepoint: does anyone else feel that when you wake up the day after a "good day" (ie, intake is low, or outtake is high, or both), your entire face looks different?  Not necessarily physically different, but... oh, I don't know how to put it.  It's almost as though the day after a bad day, where you have binged, or not exercised, or you don't wake up hungry, there is just and ugly aura that surrounds you, and when you have a good day, that aura just sort of disappears?  Rambling, I know.  Sorry.

PS: Watch out for a new model by the name of Gracie Hans.  Was watching FTV the other day and saw her walk as a first face.  I have a feeling she is going to be one of the standouts in the next round of global fashion weeks.

***EDIT***

Its now 7.15pm, and my brother and his friends have moved on to a house party in Toowong, so I thought that I would take this opportunity to jump back on and post some of my goals:

1. Christmas is coming up, and we are hosting a big family lunch by the pool.  Now, I'm not delusional - no way in hell am I donning a bikini, but I would at least like to have hot little legs to stick out of some belted double-fold Country Road shorts (I love the new designs, and there are some really fun colours in the range too!).  I think I could cope with 63kgs.

2. One of my best friends turns 21 on March 6th, 2007, and she is having a big party to which a whole bunch of girls we went to highschool with will be invited.  Most of the girls I really like, and have just fallen out of touch with... and then there are "the others" - girls I were really close to, and now am not, and who I need to "out-hot" .  I don't see any reason why I shouldn't already be at my (current) UGW of 52kgs by then, but if there is some unforseen disaster, and I'm not quite there I NEED (that's right, NEED) to be down to at least 56kgs.

Obviously I also have little weekly mini-goals that I strive for, but those two are "the biggies".  My mini-goals fall along the lines of losing somewhere in the bracket of 2-3kgs (4.5-7lbs) per week.  My first weekly weigh-in will be on Saturday, and I will post my loss.

On a separate note, what do you guys think about Trimspa?  We don't get half of the diet pills you guys have listed in the states, but Trimspa just started being sold here a few months ago.  Is it any good?

Good luck, and stay strong! - Rach.

Hello Darlings!

Well, yesterday was a complete and utter disaster - I would post details but I think I might cry.  I woke up with my period this morning, though, so at least I know why I was feeling so horrible.  To undo the damage I am going to do a water fast for 72 hours.  This time of the month, if I put even the tiniest morsel in my mouth it turns into a fully-fledged binge, so the answer: EAT NOTHING!  Wish me luck!

Its my brothers 18th birthday tomorrow, so I am going to spend this morning shopping for a gift.  I'll comment everyone this afternoon.

I love you guys.

Okay, well when I got home from shopping this morning (btw, I bought my brother four Industrie t-shirts.  They cost $165 but it is his 18th, and he is a bit of a clothes horse like me, so I wanted to get him something that he would like), there was this birthday afternoon tea thing, and given the fact that it is my baby brothers birthday, really couldn't skip out.  It is all good though, because I managed (by virtue of the opaque cup trick and drinking a swimming pool worth of water and diet tonic) to limit my intake to 375cal, and then once once everybody left I went straight onto the treadmill and burned 830cal jogging uphill.  All in all I have burned 455cal more than I have consumed.  I choose to count today as a success. - Rach.

Hi everyone.

Just woke up today feeling wrong.  I have a bad feeling.  It's the sort of feeling I get before a huge binge.  I think I just might go back to bed and not move all day...
