I did a huge big post here and now it’s gone.

So - here’s the pointy bit - The weightloss fairy took away 0.6kgs this week. If I maintain that till next week I will have officially acheived my next mini-goal - My halfway point of 72kgs.

I’ve been listening to hypnosis CDs and they may be having some effect. I’ve been focusing on my strategies to beat cravings and they are mostly working - I’m still having slip ups on the weekends though. I’m exercising but I’m not being a nazi about it - I can skip a day if it makes it easier to get to my dance class in the evening.

I’ve been doing more social things - I’ve joined social dance classes and a swim squad and I’m accepting more invitations than I used to.

I’ve put in place a system at work to limit my internet use and allocate my time better to my projects, it’s making me much more productive.

Life is good, work is good, weightloss is good, I’m kind of happy.

Well, this week I have had another good loss of 0.8kgs, bringing me to 76.8kgs all up. This is well over 5kgs, I’m really pleased!

However, i haven’t had a great weekend. On Friday I did really well at the christmas party, stuck to my plan completely, only to mess up at my parents place that night when my Mum put a bowl of chips (my nemesis!) on the table, and dinner was followed up by apple pie and whipped cream.

Then Sunday I bought myself an icecream on the way to a bbq, as I was getting petrol and it was hot. There was simply no reason for this except it was there, it seemed like a good idea, and I TOTALLY FORGOT I SHOULDN”T HAVE IT!!!

At the bbq I ate 2 sausages in white rolls, instead of the chicken kebabs I had bought with me. Why??? No real reason. I also had another icecream after dinner when it was offered, again, I could easily have turned this down without offending anyone.

Luckily I did quite a bit of exercise this weekend, between the 400m novice swim I did with a friend, and a couple of runs. Still, I’m a bit worried about how my tuesday (tomorrow!!) weigh in with the PT will go.

On the positive side, I moved onto week 5 of the C25K program on saturday. Week 4 is not exactly easy yet, but it’s not gut-wrenchingly hard anymore either week 5 day one went surprising ly smoothly. But week 5 day three is a doozy - it may take me a while to work up to that one!!
