Stay tuned.

Managed to completely blow my diet

Not really looking forward to weigh in tomorrow.

Weigh in

133.2 pounds - slowly does it.

Its Auckland Anniversary today, so relaxing at home today, catching up on study, washing and gardening, the sun is still bright and quite hot during mid day, so the clothes are drying fast.

My zucchini are not, they have been left in the garden for far too long so are these great big melons that I presently have no taste for. My corn are very close to eating size. My cherry tomatoes are very little and very green. The Pumpkin is getting there, the silver beet, broccoli, and cauliflower had no chance as the zucchinis have complete over grown them. Not doing too badly for a non gardener.

Note to self - these Wattie's curried sausages may be small meals and hence low calories but these are too spicy for my liking. The spaghetti bolognaise though watery was very nice how ever.

133.4

I am thinking of changing my goal back to 130 pounds.
I'm starting to feel more comfortable in my own body.

We will see what happens tomorrow morning. Taking my calorie intake up to 1000 calories today.

Lots to tell

On Sunday night, we decided to go into town to the white lady for a burger for dinner. In the car I didn't feel to well, started getting stomach aches. Had to sit/lie down on the 5 min walk to the white lady. Outside the white lady I had to sit down as soon as we got there. Then had to go straight back, Richard had to carry me half the way back to the car, and got me into Auckland Hospital. I was in sooooo much pain. After pain killers, tests, prodding, transferred to Middlemore hospital keeping me over night and more tests I was released. It is so weird how your body can cause so much pain (I felt like I was going to die) to nothing the next day. Thanks endometriosis.

strange ??

Jumped on the scales today and after eating 550 calories yesterday I have gained 2 pounds.
I am 135 pounds 61.4 kg
I am a bit confused- the only thing I can guess is its the diet coke I had with dinner last night (on the theory that it encourages water weight)

On a very somber note

Have heard that Sir Edmund Hillary has passed away today. My deepest condolences to his family and friends and other people he has touched with his great work for the Nepalese people. He will always be known to the New Zealand people as one of the greatest New Zealanders we will ever have.

A few things to write about today -

1st one is hard to put down as succinctly as I probably would like. While in town at lunch yesterday (crossing one of the biggest roads downtown) I saw the little girl and her dad who had been raising awareness for Meningococcal Disease also known as meningitis. Since the shows etc they have had on her and her family, it was quite surreal seeing her out and about and harder still knowing how to react. She is growing into a confident beautiful little girl. I did not want to pretend I did not know who she was or look away as I thought this rude, but even though I know what they have been through they don't know me from a bar of soap. So in passing I slightly smiled at her dad who I think has done a marvelous job raising her and letting people know about the disease.

2nd one on a much lighter note - even though its my worst score ever in my exams I managed to pull off getting 78% (a C+) on my designing a database exam even while being physically sick through my exam. (Lunch did not agree with me). So I'm not too upset with the result.

and 3rd one - In my plight to lose weight for measurements for my wedding dress after over eating during christmas I have weighed in at 138.6 from 140 on the 5th of Jan, so slowly but surely.

My weight today

For the last few days I've gone back to listening to Paul McKenna's "I can make you thin"

My weight today

139.4 pounds

Went to the comedy club last night

We went to both the 8pm session and the 10.30 one.
We both preferred the 1st one. I believe they might want to put a warning on for those who are extremely pro pc (politically correct)
We were laughing all the way back to the car. It was a great way to unwind.
I think some of the comedians are too hard on themselves, sometimes they missed the mark or the punchline, but in the whole scheme of things they were all very funny.
I found Steve Wrigley and Vaughan King really really funny.
It was well worth it, I won't say this too loud but I think the prices were rather low for the quality of entertainment.
