Bren's Diary - The journey begins, again!

[BREN]

I know it's just awful all the news being aired in every form is this.

Excited about the WI but nervous aren't we all the night before. I've eaten a little extra here and there (oh so minimal really) and hoping that it wont impact too heavily ( no pun intended there! ). All healthy extra's though no sweet stuff.

Just heard about it on the news over here... some think that fires have been started intentionally... why on earth would someone do that??

I'm sure you'll be fine... your body seems to be enjoying losing weight at the mo! x

 

[BREN]

Well happy to report a loss of officially 1.7kg's for the week. Will change my tickers later.

[Glenbo]

Well done Bren,your not far off your goal now x

 

[BREN]

Thanks Glen and welcome I noticed your new!

The newspapers are dreadful today showing photos of beautiful people and explaining how they died. It's very very somber in OZ at the moment.

Was a bit disappointed about my 1.7 loss but still I feel very concave in the stomach and thin so best to just not think about it and keep at it. Also started doing abs every night before bed on top of my exercise regime.

 

[abz]

i don't believe i've ever felt concave in the stomach bren. go you

it is very sad. very sad. i can't believe that people may have caused some of that intentionally!!

Yeah tummy definitely flatter. Had 2 packet miso soups today to kill my hunger and self sabbotage!!! (not sure which one was the greater). Killing some time now until a speech I have to give at work tonight for parent teacher. Need to stay online for a while as to avoid eating anything!.

Fires are so so bad. Radio has raised over a million$ today so some sort of relief fiancially will be helping. Although many familys are missing pets and animals that couldn't be taken with them and also members who sent their families to safety and stayed to protect the house!

 

[BREN]

However what keeps me in focus is the feeling of thiness in my tummy at the end of the day about 1 hour or so before bed. I feel good about my body because I'm not full or uncomfortable. I have only just realised and taken notice of this physical feeling and I'm aiming to try to for this at the end of every day. So when I feel that feeling I feel proud and determined. Usually in the morning I have lost when I have this feeling.

Tomorrow is my day before my official CDC WI and dont want to ruin it!

[BREN]

Pleased to say that the 300gm extra went the day after WI and today with another 100gm. So very very happy and thinking that this slowing down is the plateu before the next drop in the fat kg's!!!

Would like to be in the morning in the 71's however my luck it will be smack on 72!. Off to change my ticker.

I am reflecting several times during the day and again now after dinner at the fact I'm not hungry and bloated and feeling that 'thin feeling'. It's this feeling that keeps me determined to not eat until the morning.

[BREN]

I AM TOTALLY PUMPED!!!!!!!!!

Lost some more weight this morning, another 500gm Wooooooooooooo Hoo!:8855:

 

[BREN]

Well interesting start to the weekend just been out for dinner. As I just got paid for the first time in my new job and Elliott (hubby) got his road train (big lorry) license this week.

I ate perfect all day and drank about 3 ltrs of water

dinner;
4 tempura prawns (entree)
Pan fried fish(no crumbs but tasted olive oily) with salad (mayo dressing, forgot to ask with balsamic).

I ate only enough until I began to feel full then stopped. No wine passed my lips as I drank sparkling water (which I like).

I feel a little guilty, perhaps a tiny bit full, because of the oil and mayo which I've avoided the past 10 days. Guilt is in my head, but i suppose physically i feel normal but still full up from dinner and not that usual thin feeling I've been focusing on just before bed!

Time to forget about it and not beat myself up about the possible gain on the scales in the morning. I know it will pass and go back to normal after a day back on the plan.

Hey misses

Well done on another great loss... moving downwards nicely you've certainly found your groove!

I shouldn't worry too much about the oil & mayo... both are low carbs so shouldn't make a difference to you.xx

 

[BREN]

Thanks hun, but knowing Cohen's the slightest deviation for me showed on the scales. TUT TUT, I've already resided that not going to beat my self up as the weight will drop off after a day of good eating. Lots of water and I think I will begin exercise again tomorrow (as no exercise in the first 2 weeks).

I'm staying in the zone!!!

[BREN]

WELL..... after deciding not to get upset about the gain I knew I was to have this morning, from the dinner out last night, fish & salad, I have lost another 400gm! and '?' but mainly '!!!!!'

So now I am officially under 25 for my BMI. It has been so long since this probably about 14 months. I'm well chuffed!

Bren

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

[Kaitlyn]

Congratulations on getting under 25 in your BMI:talk017:

 

[BREN]

Thanks Kaitlyn, i'm so pleased. This morning even though TOM, I have lost another 300gm so down to 70.8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!

Off to change my ticker.

This morning I did think about going out for breakie, perhaps looking to treat myself, was only going to have poached egg's on toast with mushrooms, however hubby said he would rather have breakie at home, bless him!

My continual losses are surely to cease this week at some point??? Surely. So WI is on Tuesday and I hope to be 70.5 or still the 70.8 I am now.

Lots of water and off to do some work for school.

[Loulabella]

Yay - I found you! Hehehhee.... Well done on being under 25 BMI - thats fantastic!!! Very very pleased for ya!!!

 

[BREN]

Thanks babe! It's crazy in 12 days I've lost 3.4kg's!!!! Aiming to loose 7kg's for the month that's 15.4lbs.

How you doing?

 

[BREN]

Well I've had a bloody rough day. organised a school excursion with my year 12's and the bus didn't arrive to pick us up to take us there!!!! I had to organise 3 cab's. They managed to pick us up though!

Anyways apart from the stress (which just increased my blood pressure and no food cravings) of this saga I have eaten perfect today although have only drunk about 2 ltrs of water so this is my aim for the next 2.5 hours to complete a ltr, will not be a problem.

My TOTM, and WI is in the morning with myself. Know I've lost but hoping the fluid retention will not play a part!!

[BREN]

Well I really do surprise myself. Just been to the gym after my hectic day. I've dropped back the exercise as my plan recommends none for the first week or two as it mess's with your metabolism, which is what I am correcting with my food. So gymed once only last week, Saturday been, tonight and yoga tomorrow if my staff meeting doesn't run over.

WI tomorrow and this makes 2 weeks of pretty damn good perfect. I'll be honest snuck in (over 2 weeks) , 2 miso soups, 2 jaffa balls, 1 CD bar, extra cheese and a few extra crackers and fruit and the odd dried date or fig...oops....

Lets hope for a great loss.
