Back onto the bandwagon until Christmas, then I will take a week of enjoying life.
Then with the new year back to the strict lines of diet and losing weight.

I went back to the gym this morning, and man it sure felt good!
I am gonna try the pilates my sister taught me while she was here on tuesdays and thursdays, and see if the combination will help get me more fit.

I wonder if I can find a dvd someplace cheap on pilates.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Juha, as a matter of fact, I've been feeling kinda blah and puffy. So I didn't even get on the scale, and I am going on a visit on saturday, so I'll weigh in next week on friday and hopefully have gotten rid of any weight gain from this past week.
This past week was totally awesome with my mom and sis here.
It was non-stop but it was good non-stop.
We went to Amsterdam and Delft, we saw Tilburg, and walked all over the place, didn't even bike but one time last week.
I go back to the gym on monday, and time to get my butt in gear.
My sis told me about Pilates and suggested that I do some of them on my days off from the gym, and in the evenings if I have time.
They hurt those pilates... but I'm willing to give them a try and maybe get myself back on the downward spiral. :-)
I know my feeling bloated and blah comes from this past week, not drinking enough, not eating at my normal times and getting way too much 'good' foods. But sis was nice and gentle in her manner of telling me to cut down even more on the amount of food I eat. I explained to her, that what she was seeing me eat, was already half the portion sizes I was eating before.
She cheered me on when I showed her the blue plates I had bought, the ones that are smaller than my cream and black ones. She even told me that I need to keep my meals to the inside white section on the plate and not let it overflow into the coloured areas.
I'm gonna try, but thats gonna take a LOT of effort, and a lot of starving I think.
She did explain to me that changing my routines at the gym is better for me than to keep doing the same thing each time. Start with something different and do different lengths of time on each thing each day.
She got me encouraged to keep sorting and tossing things. So I'm gonna be busy doing that kind of things. Maybe a good thing to start the new year without all the garbage and baggage in this house.

You done good Juha. You'll be nothing but skin and bones if you keep losing weight. ;)

hugs to all!

Hopefully you're doing good out there. I had a oki week. Though it seems that the guidelines I set for myself in the start of the diet were a bit too harsh for my weight keeps dropping...still after reaching the mini goal I had. The thing is I have no desire to go back eating like I used to and I think im eating enough now anyway so I'll just keep living like I am now
and see where i end up with my weight :P Don't jump the scale this week Sarah if you had extraordinary week. Let it balance out and check what the scales say next week(?)

last week: 79,5
this week: 78,6
