I'm still here!

Ap's for the quiet guys....

Description can be found here!

I'll be back counting and posting a little later in the week - I'm not doing anything obsessively crazy at the moment, but my head is just getting done in at the moment and I can't be @ssed obsessively about it at the moment (YES I know it's not the right thing to do, but it's not like I'm out gorging myself at every opportunity!).

That said, I'd still like to be at 70kg by the 15th of October - will see how that goes!
I also plan to write out the poem from below and keep it in my bag for those moments.

Thanks for checking in on me tho, I really do appreciate it =o)

~ Inspiration ~

Copied from Hayley, but she can't find where she got it from either...

DON'T YOU QUIT!

When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down
And you feel like the biggest failure in town

When you want to give up just because you gave in
and forgot all about being healthy and thin

So What! You went over your points a bit
It's your next move that counts...So DON'T YOU QUIT!

It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change
It's learning the skills to get back in your range

It's telling yourself ' You've done great up till now
you can take on this challenge and beat it some how"

It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal
You're still gonna make it, just stay in control

To stumble and fall is not a disgrace
if you summon the will to get back in the race

But, often the struggler's when losing their grip
Just throw in the towel and continue to slip

And learn too late when the damage is done
that the race wasn't over...they still could have won

Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow
but facing each challenge will help you grow

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint in a cloud of doubt

When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit
If you bite it you write it...but DON'T YOU QUIT !

I jumped on the scales this morning - almost 5kg down - Hooray! So what did I do? What every BAD WW does and thought I'd 'celebrate' with some bad food choices - as if I haven't ALREADY done that enough this week! It wasn't all intentional - we went to lunch at Floriade and they didn't have any salad sandwiches or ANYTHING mealworthy - so by the time it got to 2pm and I'd only had a pepsi max for the entire day I was getting desperate!!!

My name is Enny and I'm a bad weightwatcher. I had lunch with an old friend today so splashed out a lil with a K'baby to celebrate, safe in the knowledge I had kickboxing tonight and was in charge of dinner. THEN I got my car back from the detailer and got eldest bro to take some photos for me and then put the ads up on the internet - by time I was finished at my parents house kickboxing was over AND I jus got Dominoes for dinner!!! Are you ready for this? One piece of original base vego pizza is 3 pts, so if i took 1 point off each slice for the cheese (which is unlikely as they're tight with ALL the toppings, including cheese), I had 19 points for dinner alone - that's really weak of me.

Yeah, so I was a bit naughty today (tho it's not shown in the points) - PMS has really wrecked me this week. I had leftovers for brunch and about to have a curry for dinner - today has been more about minimising quantity of food than choosing 'sensibly' as stuff. And my exercise?

Also, my leftovers for lunch weren't as filling today as they were last night, so I was hungry all day after skipping brekky to save points for it, so then I had an afternoon tea which I don't normaly have, and then I got takeaway for dinner as The Hun was out to dinner with friends... and then I had a drink too!
