Weigh In - Week 44

Goal Weight: 70kg
Current Weight: 72.4kg
Loss this Week: 1.8kg

THINK
I'm still tired but certainly much better than last week. I was asked to do one more week of the early morning shift so as compensation, I asked for next Friday off. That'll make it a nice long weekend and Dan's going to take the Friday off also. The next couple of weeks are going to be about getting my priorities right.

EAT
I ate within my points, mostly. Saturdays I always allow for any cravings and treats. What I did differently this week? Not eat any takeaway. Simple.

MOVE
I moved less and did the bare minimum (4 x 30 min walks). I feel a little slack but I think I really just needed the week off.

Now I feel like I'm back in the game, almost. Really looking forward to Australia Day and the start of a long weekend! Remember that holiday I was supposed to go on? I still haven't had one.

I'm coming back to read and update a little more later. We're going on a shopping expedition first...

Hey Mary. Congrats on your loss. 1.8 is massive! I guess your body is adjusting to you wacky hours in it's own way.

Try not to let this last week of work bring you down - focus on your mini-break - it's only 3 days away.

Catch up soon.

Congrats on the loss Mary. That is fantastic and amazing how just following simple rules can still have such a fantastic result. I shall be following the rules this week :D

I too have Friday off and am looking forward to the solitude that this day will bring. I have been writing a bit this weekend and and feeling really positive that maybe this is something I can do. So much so that I brought all my notes into work today LOL.

Hope you have a great week and have a fantastic long long weekend. Have fun :D

Well done on a great loss!! That is awesome. I'm paticularly proud of the fact that even though you are working your butt off at the moment and quite tired you are still managing to keep those 4x30min walks up! That is committment. Well done! XX

I like how you write the Think Move and Eat headings and break it down. It would be good to write personally in a journal too each day.

Congrats on your fantastic loss!
