Weigh in Wednesday

Lost 0.3kgs which is over 2 weeks which is not so great but I must keep going. The meeting was interesting today as they started explaining this new ProPoints system they will be converting to I was so surprised that so many people were upset about it. People were upset about having to buy all new books and that their old recipe books were becoming obsolete, the leader explained that they could use the old recipe books but convert the old points to the new ones via the internet etc but people were still not happy, especially over the points calculators - I mean seriously is it going to kill you to fork out an extra $20 for a new one, given as member you will be given all new folders and books with cutting edge information and food science included in them to start this new system. People were moaning about having to re-read and re-learn everything from scratch, um really is it a major problem if it re-kickstarts your weight loss again??

Some people I guess are never happy about change but I for one am looking forward to it as I have not exactly flourished under this current system.

The thing I don't get is that everyone sitting in that WW room was there because they were overweight and were unhappy about it so why bitch and moan about something that is going to help you get past what you seem to be doing that is making you , well, fat???

bring it on I say!

My 'Other' life has taken over this week....

Unfortunately I will have to skip my weigh in this week as I run an online business where I sew and hand make baby and kids clothes and sleepwear and I have a big market day on Saturday to kick off the festive season so I have been madly sewing and have been chained to my machine. apologies!

On the upside I have discovered more about this ProPoints new scheme for WW. Check out the link below as it is being launched in the UK this Sunday so surely Australia cannot be far behind!!! I hope so as apparently ALL fruit and Veg apart from potatoes will be 0 points!! yeay.

Exciting WW news

I just read an article in the UK's Daily Mail online newpaper about Weight Watchers starting a totally new system to their 'points' program called 'ProPoints'. Sounds interesting and I hope they bring to Australia as apparently it will be based on 'new scientific information'.

All fruit and vegetables will have no points as WW realised that people were swapping their fruit points for low fat choc treats which sounds ridiculous but I have to admit that I am guilty of doing that on occasion, sad i know and probably why I have only been losing only very small amounts each week lately. booooo. bring on the new system and read about it here.

Never truer words spoken....

Also I had WW weigh in this morning down 0.1kgs. not bad considering I had a big weekend at the wedding and I had no bonus points up my sleeve. I have no special ocassions coming up and the litle peach is fully healthy again so time to kick in my training plan.

Can anyone recommend a good exercise blog widget? If not why not join in on the hugs on the blog hop below

ps whoever un-followed me this week I wish you well (grrrrr)

Changes....

God this weight loss gig is damn exhausting...when it is all you think about and yet still dont see the changes you want it is hard to stay motivated.

How crazy is it when this one thing is the first thing you think of when you wake up and the last thing you think of at night and yet you still struggle to get hold of it. I try to plan and be organised but things pop up that have to take priority and exercise takes a back seat or you have to grab something to eat which is not to best choice but it is the easiest and tastiest one.

damn damn damn but I will not give up.... I will not

ho hum Weigh in Thursday

ho hum indeed I lost 0.3kgs. god at this rate I will lose my 22kgs by 2023! shite.

I am pleased though that I did lose something as my 6 day a week exercise plan/commitment went out the window when my little peach got sick... I don't mind though as I suppose that is what being a mum is all about isn't it?

There is nothing lovelier in the world than your little person asking you to just sit by their bed and hold their hand as it makes their tummies hurt less..... I just need to re-focus come Monday. My hubbie and I are heading up the coast this weekend for an old friends wedding and I am a bit scared as I have no bonus points up my sleeve and there is a rehearsal dinner friday night and then the big day saturday. bllllimey..

I am interested in hearing of any tactics you may have used in the past???

No weigh in wednesday today

Little peach is still unwell and did not go to kindy today so I was unable to make my meeting but my mum is babysitting tomorrow morning so I can quickly scoot over and weigh myself. I made a solemn promise to myself when I signed up that I would NOT miss a single weekly weigh in for what ever reason. WW is really quite expensive when you think about it and I am not paying all of $60 a month to give it away, plus I think if you miss one it is too easy to get slack and miss another and then just be too embarrassed to go back because you have put on weight back on. Well at least that is what I have done in the past.

ALSO arrrggggggg.....I rang the account helpline to change my credit card details and the lovely man who was helping me kept me waiting on the line as I had so many log in names attached to my address that he struggled to find the current one. He pointed out that I had joined in 2007, 2008, 2009 and TWICE in 2010 all under different sign in names......mate could you have made me feel any worse. He was very nice though and said it took him 7 joins to finally get it for good. ho hum I hope I lose some weight as I have not bee tracking as much as I should.....
