Binging on salat???

Jeez!
Didn't think I'd do that!!

Had to take my daughter out eating today, so I had a caesar salad with chicken and a diet coke.
Put the bread aside (don't eat much bread - too many calories)... and then ate almost the whole plate of salad?!?

Broke all my eating rules 
Didn't eat slowly
Didn't swallow everything before I took the next bite
Finished the plate

Shopping - my favorite hobby

And especially when I HAVE to go shopping because I'm now TWO - 2 - sizes smaller than I used to be!!!

So I went to the mall yesterday and spent a fortune on a new skirt, new pullover, a pair of new jeans and a pair of slacks, and most of all, new bras! Jeez my boobs are now so petite.

It's weird to think about that I in August used to be a size EU 38/40 (US 8/10)
And yesterday  a pair of slacks size 36 (US 6) was....*drum roll* .... TOO BIG!!!

I bought a pullover in XS and a pair of slacks size 34 (US 4)
OMG did that feel good!!

OMG! OMG! OMG!

This is like so fantastically insane.
Guess going away for three days and eating hotel breakfast, drinking wine and eating out at TGI Friday's is something I should do more often!

Had a great time, but was rather sure that this great time would show up on the scale this morning.
I mean... 2460 calories on Wednesday!! And more than 2000 of those for dinner. How would that do any good for my loosing weight project??

Then I faced my scale this morning!!!
55,8 kg!!!! Fifty Five Point Eight!!!
123 lbs!! One Hundred and Twenty Three!!! 

How come... I've lost 1,3 kg/2,8 lbs, in one week
Wish I knew what I've done, so I can do it again next week and loose 2,8 lbs more 

The second day of the week effect

So I had this kind of depressing meeting with my scale yesterday.
I mean 7 ounces!! What's that?

But then I faced my scale again this morning, and I do love the second-day-of-the-week-effect
It's like it takes my body one weekday to shed the extra that I've eaten during the weekend.
And boy did it.
 
Yesterday  my scale stopped at 57,1kg or 125,8 lbs
Today is stopped at.... drum roll.... 56,8 kg or 125,2 lbs

Which means...... I've reached my second goal weight!!!

My reasons...

1000 reasons to lose weight

Long time no see

Jeez haven't posted here in almost a week now.
And that shows on my scale - lost focus and didn't loose weight. Not that I've gained any. Actually did loose a bit, but really nothing to brag about.

So been waiting to reach 125 lbs, and I'm almost there...and have been almost there for more than a week now.
Just hovering above the number on the scale. Actually saw a hint of it on Thursday, but Friday it was gone again. So sad!

But I've decided it's focus-time-week and those bloody last pounds are going away whether they like to or not.

I'll have to drop my calorie intake a few notches and have more focus on posting here and following through each day.

That will be a piece of cake, as I'll be going away for three days this week, staying at a hotel and dining at TGI Friday's ..... Yeah right! Good luck with that.

Well wish me luck, cause I'll need it.

Going down...

So I had to face my scale yesterday. Kind of nerve wrecking since I haven't looked at it for a week.
But fortunately..... I'm still going down!!

126,3 lbs

Still a bit further to reach my next goal weight - and things are definitely moving slower now than in the beginning. But I'm closing in on that fantastic number 1 2 5

I've also tried to do more workouts to build muscles so that I'll loose that bloody fat and not just my muscles.

Meeting the scale

A week away from home without the opportunity to step on my scale has been kind of weird.
But tomorrow I have to face the numbers on it.
Not sure I look forward to it or dread it?

I wonder what it will show?
I have been very good at counting every calorie I've eaten this week, and we've been out and about almost every day, so I really, really hope to see a nice number tomorrow morning.

But I'm not gonna step on it now at this time of the day. That will just give me a number I can't compare with anything else...

So I'll just have to wait.... 

Lovely autumn evening

Enjoying a glass of sparkling dry white wine, and some dried fruit in front of the fireplace tonight, while I am delighted to have reached my goal of writing down my handicap (# THAT FEELING) in golf this season. Had a great round on the course today and it was so fun to finally reach my goal handicap after training all summer. 

And to top it off! I can do it with a clear conscience cause I'm still below 1000 calories for today (included wine and fruit ..). (# THAT FEELING)

I wish you all a superb autumn evening! 

Week 8 ?!?!

Jeez, I can't believe I'm already on my eight week of this! Had my first really blow to the face today when I stepped on my scale. Friday I was so happy to see 57,9 on the scale, and today... 58,3!!!!
And I here I thought I've been doing so good last week. Actually started working out a bit too.  Arrrg - makes me feel so miserable...
