TOOTING MY OWN HORN!!
Well I am back from a wonderful weekend away and for probably the first time ever I do not have to go into damage control after a holiday. Drove up after work on Friday and resisted the temptation of fish and chips that Dh had. Instead I had pulled a mystery tupperware container from the freezer that morning and had Veal Stroganooff and rice when we arrived. Our old neighbours were there and they were so complimentary about my weight loss. I was on a real high. After visiting with them Rob went in to visit our fiends. (the ones we have been out to dinner with twice and they have ignored Robs comments about my weight loss.) I put on my running gear and Ipod and went for an interval walk/run around the lake. It was 11.00 at night so I was very proud of myself. After my run I went to collect Dh and the male friend was shocked into commenting about my weight loss. His wife glared at him and said nothing. Went to bed on a high and didn't need to eat the Ww choc bar I had been planning to have. Next morning got up at 6 and went for a walk around the lake. The lake was opposite our hotel so very beautiful with the sun coming up and Robbie on my Ipod! Went home, sat in the sun with a book for a while then got the men up and cooked them breakfast. Poached egg for me and toast. At 9 I took myself off to the gym and did my first Body Pump class. I had located a gym on the internet on Friday. I was a bit nervous because I had never done one before but found it very doable. I will definitely be looking to attend some at the gym at home. Muscles are a bit sre today but not too bad. After showering and getting dressed in my new clothes I picked up my old neighbour and we went shopping. She wanted to talk a lot about my progress and wanted advice so I again felt very motivated. We had a late lunch of a chicken sandwich then went back to hotel. Slept for a few hours and then..yes another walk around the lake. Then got all gussied up for dinner. I had a beautiful meal of fried camenbert(share with DH) beef wellington with steamed vegies and half a profiterole and icecream dessert. I am glad that I have found it possible to eat a normal meal when I go out to restaurants and not feel guilty afterwards. We had a lot of fun and collapsed into bed at midnight. Up again at 6 and went for a run/walk around the lake. Gee if I could have this lake outside my house I would be soooo fit. Again sat in sun reading until time to get men up and cook them a breakfast. I had fruit and raisin bread. Then drove back to Melb stopping in a town for some craft shopping ...but no morning tea. Then on to the DFO outlets at Essendon where I forced my Dh to shop for clothes. He hates shopping but we managed to get him quite a few things and a gorgeous top for Ebs that earned me brownie points when I got home. Resisted the food court temptations as well. When we got home Dh wanted MCDs and so we went there and got some for the starving children that we had abandoned for weekend. I came home and had baked beans on toast and my WW choc bar. For dinner I cooked potato and onion pancakes and had some diet icecream. Very proud of myself.
So although I am very tired, and my house looks like a war zoen I am in a great place motivation wise. I hope I can keep this up until the holiday.
