The Last Day

Hmmm seem to have lost the plot a little while ago but once my body decides to come out of survival mode I will be back on track with doing something. Have joined the May group - hopefully without so much going on in my life. Starting and losing new jobs, going onto new medication for my depression and other life changes does not help for concentration and losing anything except possibly my mind ... again.

Final Measurements 

Weight: 68.7 kg

Waist: 86cm

Hips: 102 cm

Chest: 96cm (time of the month)

Thigh: 58cm

Two weeks ago my measurements were:

Weight: 71 kg

Waist: 88 cm

Hips: 103 cm

Chest: 94 cm 

Thigh: 59 cm

Overall I have lost:

Weight: 2.3kg

Waist: 5cm

Hips: about 1cm

Chest: not changed at all and I hope it never does

Thigh: 1cm

So overall despite the last two weeks being totally dead in the way of exercise I have stilled gained something and lost some things as well. Will be keeping it up and hoping to lose a little more weight and some more around the hips.

Thursday January 16 - Sunday January 20

Life sucks. So does having depression. And the ultimate for today is I have lost  my job.

Have not been keeping food diaries and not doing any exercise at all. Sleep and eat what is in the house.

Wednesday Jan 16

New jobs can play havoc with your life and your excellent intentions of doing things but hey if it takes me a little longer to reach my goals I am not going to get to upset by it all.

Meal: 1 apple and 1 banana

Meal 2: Chicken Salad

Meal 3: Banana smoothie with low fat milk and yoghurt 

Meal 4: Grilled chicken with steamed peas, beans and corn

3 litres of water consumed

Day Two of my new job was very quiet so got some cleaning done and some looking at the systems and wine lists etc.

Meal 1: 2 x corn thins with ricotta

Meal 2: Apple and banana

Meal 3: roast vegetables (probably not so good but it was the least worst thing on the menu at the cafe)

Meal 4: Red Curry Chicken

Yeah got to go out with some friends this evening have not been able to do this for about 18 months. 

Meal 5: was planning on corn thins with ricotta but no ricotta suspect an elf finished it up.

2 litres of water consumed

Monday January 14

Measurements:

Weight: 71 kg (same as last week)

Chest: 94 cm (still the same and I hope they never get smaller)

Waist: 88 cm (minus 3 cm)

Hips: 103 cm (same)

Thigh: 59 cm (minus 1.5 cm)

Some progress made. May lose a skirt size with all of this but if all else fails will still have improved my general fitness level.

Meal 1: Quarter Rockmelon with yoghurt

Meal 2: Apple

Meal 3: Chicken Soup

Meal 4: Corn thins with ricotta

Ooops missed two meals today as I started a new job and was not sure of meal times etc but that will improve over the next couple of days.

My feet hurt ....

She says as she wore heels to work for the first time in years. Not so high but when you are on your feet all day it is not such a good option.

Mark had frangipanis floating in a plastic container when I got home it was heavenly and so very romantic.

Sunday January 13

Still not feeling good after another restless night.

Meal 1: Porridge with soy milk

Meal 2: Sweet n Sour Chicken

Meal 3: 1 banana and half a tub of plain yoghurt with strawberries

Meal 4: 1 banana

Meal 5: Banana smoothie with low fat yoghurt and milk (no honey)

Meal 6: Chicken with lentil dhal

Went out at 11.30 am yesterday intending only to be a couple of hours at the Lifeline Bookfest (a secondhand book fair held here in Brisbane twice a year - Lifeline is one of Australia's counselling services.) but came home several hours later. Took about 6 hours for Mark and I (but mostly Mark) to go through the vinyl section cherry picking for excellent recordings. Bought a couple just for the artwork on the front cover and I did pick up some original recordings of Jazz and Big Band groups.

Going back another day to go through the Sci-Fi section and just to see what else I can get. I do so love books and wished I had just a little more money this weekend :-)

Meal 3: Omelette with tomato, cheese and mushrooms

Meal 4: 2 x corn thins with ricotta

2 litres of water consumed
