Well it seems I haven't quite managed to see off this bloody plateau!! I gained 500g last week, for absolutely no reason at all. My body just can't quite seem to get back into the habit of losing weight, not either maintaining or putting it on.
I am really struggling emotionally with this at the moment. I have not, and will not give up, but it just seems that all I'm doing is going through the motions with no real results. I guess all I can do is keep going and hope in time it just simply happens for me again. I have no choice I suppose!!
This week I have been less than angelic - I think it was a bit of a rebellion against what's been happening. I haven't been too bad, but I did go to the races on Saturday and drank and ate pretty much anything I wanted! I did feel a bit guilty on Sunday, but I think it was a good thing as I woke up today determine to refocus and seriously get my shit together. Yes, I know I haven't been falling off the wagon often or anything like that, but I've decided that I'm not going to mope, I'm not going to find excuses not to go to the gym (even though I generally still go, I do whinge about it at times!), I'm going to get serious. I have just over 10kg to go and I want them bloody well gone!!!
Sorry for the rant, just feeling a bit out of control at the moment and that's one thing I really hate. I am a bit of a control freak, and the slightest sign that things aren't going how I want them tends to freak me out a bit. But no more!!! I'm getting my act together, and getting the job done!

Another week, another weigh in
Today is weigh in day. Scales at home this morning showed a decent loss so I'm just hoping that comes to fruition! I haven't done a lot of exercise this week, so maybe that was the shake up my body needed, who knows? The body certainly works in mysterious ways I have discovered over the last year.
My god, the last year! Tomorrow it will be exactly a year since I joined WW. I had hoped to be at goal by now, probably a little ambitious now that I think about it I guess! But I'm still extremely happy with losing 36kg in a year. I didn't think when I joined up that I would last a year, and I certainly didn't think I could ever lose that much weight, so anything else is a bonus really!
Went down the coast last weekend - the facial and massage I had were fantastic! Went out with hubby and a mate of his that still lives down there on the Saturday afternoon/night. I decided that I was going to eat whatever I wanted to have - that's the first time I've done that in a year and I must say it felt good to know that I could do that, and simply work harder or eat less points on other days to make up for it. I've always thought I was unable to do that, if I had 1 day when I did that, it would turn into 2 or 3 or 4....but it didn't and I'm really proud of myself for that. Knowing that I could have what I wanted, by the time I'd finished dinner, I didn't even feel like dessert so that's gotta be a positive! I had a fair few drinks, but I knew I could just make it fit. It really was a good lesson for me to learn - that I can trust myself and I won't go crazy like I thought I would.
Well, I shall pop back later, hopefully with good news!
###UPDATE###
I lost 200g at weigh in. Not at all unhappy with that considering I couldn't do the same amount of exercise as I usually would. I am now back down to the lightest weight I have been with WW so I'm stoked about that, and am also back down to only having 10kg to go! I refused to update my ticker when I was gaining weight cause I knew that I wouldn't have more than 10kg to lose for long!

Phew!
Well after a few weeks of small gains, I have finally had a loss. Only 400g, but as that's what I'd put on over the last few weeks, I'm reasonably happy with that. I am still 200g heavier than I was nearly 2 months ago, so my leader and I are fairly confident I have well and truly hit a plateau. Hopefully this loss is a sign that things will get moving again. Fingers well and truly crossed!!!
Had my friends 40th on the weekend - what an awesome day/night! Spent most of the day sailing on Sydney Harbour and then moored in Manly and stayed on board until about 1am and partied away! I'll put some pics up later of all the beautiful fairies!
Away down the coast this weekend to see the in laws. They bought me a voucher for a beauty salon down there so I'm booked in for 9:30 Saturday morning for a full body massage and facial. I can't wait! Was going to go swimming before hand but the pool doesn't open until 9am (bloody small towns!) so I think I'll get up early and go for a jog on the beach instead. I don't want to go swimming after a facial and massage, I don't think I'll be in the mood for much physical activity after being relaxed like that. That night we are probably going out to dinner for my father in law and sister in laws birthdays, but most restaurants in Ulladulla are really good and have a lot of choice, including using a lot of fresh seafood so that will be fine. Besides, given that I let go a little on the weekend and still had a loss, maybe my body is crying out for me to loosen up a bit anyway, who knows?! Either way, it'll be a nice relaxing weekend and for that, I can't wait!
