Weigh in Day...

No exclamation mark can be given to the title of today's post.

I have put on 1/2kg this last week.

Combine stress and long hours of work...oh and the chinese take out over the weekend, and voila! A recipe for weight gain.

However, I did lose 2 kgs in the previous two weeks, so +1/2 kg...or 500gms...not THAT bad.

Need to commit to more exercise this week...blah!

Weigh in Day

Today was weigh in day...

I got up, did my exercise...went to the toilet (every little bit counts you know!)...stripped down as far as I could go...

and...

I put on TWO KILOS!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!

In the old days I could play around with the little gauge and blame it on the scales not being balanced. Nowadays with the digital scales, there's no fooling anyone.

I know, I'm acting all surprised, like I didn't know that all that alcohol and eating out last week in New Zealand was going to miraculous disappear over the Tasman Sea on the way home...

Ok...the positive is that it's been three days and I've kept to the daily exercise routine...and I ate relatively healthy today. Breakfast: cereal and yogurt (good!)...lunch: salad sandwich (good)...piece of my own birthday cake that someone made for me especially (hmmm...only semi-bad because it was a small piece...i know...clutching at straws)...and Dinner: chicken, rice and vegies (well, portion was a little big)...Ok so I'm ALMOST there.

Tomorrow is another day (thank goodness!)

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

I've managed to gain 1kg this last week!

It's been really hard getting back on track after the festivities of my birthday. Food is just so good! I've found it hard to resist pasta, chocolate, wine and oh my gosh...cheese!

Add the fact that I'm getting my "monthly friend" soon AND the fact that I've been working late (and therefore couldn't be bothered to cook something healthy)...and wa-lah! BLOW OUT LIKE A WHALE!!!!!!!!!!!

Why can't dieting be easy? Why can't I just think diet and the weight just drops off?

Or perhaps I should research this 1930's tapeworm diet?
