+-0 week. stayed at 81.5kg did my new personal best in jogging though. 46mins without stop. thats something special.

snack between lunch and dinner
2 cups orange, pineapple, banana, mango, pear, pineapple 0% fat milk smoothie

dinner is pizza
2 cups of water

I have to work far away and hard tonight, so I will easily drink 750ml water while working.
Plus 250 at least at the other place I have to go to.

The antibiotics did some help, but my left ear is still stuffy. But the pain in my teeth is gone.
Felt well enough this week to go to the gym, and to start taking dancing lessons from my friend Chuanita. She teaches country line dancing.
Tuesday evening was the first class for me... talk about feeling like you don't know your left foot from your right foot. But it was fun and I have the dance down pat now. So on tuesday I can show them all I can do it. ;)
Seems that I used to do line dancing when I was in high school and college, cause it was 'BIG' then. I only remember learning the two-step couple dance from a friend of my parents.
I got personal lessons on thursday to get me up to par for tuesday. But thats just ONE dance... and we practiced the basic steps. I know all the basics now. but its the putting them together to make a dance that is difficult.

Well I got on the scale this morning...

130.4

Time to get back to this diet with dedication!

breakfast
1 banana

did some cleaning and practiced my dance... I've got it down... whee!
1 cup of tea

lunch

2 sandwiches with cream cheese, chicken slices, tomato and cucumber
2 cups of water

Don't know what dinner will be right yet, but its either gonna be macaroni, ham and cheese or pizza.

That sounds pretty nasty already. Hopefully you'll get better soon Sarah.
I got back to 81.5kg this week. Wonder if running helped, two 30min trips.
Oh well still 2.5kg to go.

Well blech...
No clue what the scale says... I haven't been on it forever...
Went back to the doctor...
He gave me an antibiotic (Amoxicilline) because it seems that whatever it is I have, is a complication due to the flu and my cold, its all stuck up in my sinuses and ears. Last night I started getting a deaf feeling in my right ear and SERIOUSLY hate not being able to hear...
So I went back to the doc this morning and he listened to my lungs again, still hearing nothing. ANd checked my ears and told me about the complication after asking about tummy ache or anything else.

So hopefully, this time next week I will be back up and about doing everything I should be able to do. Not that I've been down and out, but just really sick and tired of being sick and tired...

blah +600grams this week. despite of trying hard.
at 83kg now, la la. *uck.

Today: 60.0kg

PMS and bloat are at its height. I hate the world.

Well you two can shoot me...
I got up too late this morning and totally forgot to get on the scale.
I will do so tomorrow morning.

I've got a few other things on my mind right now too.

Work is being a real pain in the ass.

I'll keep most of it to myself for now, but it really bothers me to be accused of something that I didn't do.

*sigh*

After Christmas Beginning, taken Jan1: 60.5kg
Today: 59.0

I think that's a bit off, reading on the low side, I'm probably dehydrated orso. I keep feeling very thirsty... but I drink and feel flooded, yet still thirsty. The coming on of the monthly usually starts this way... next week: water retention FTW.

Anyway 59.5/59 is pretty much what I was before Christmas, so that wasn't so awful. I guess it's time now to start working back towards the old goal of 55 :P

I weighed in before christmas at 129.2 and on friday it was 129.5. So I think I did pretty good with my Christmas and New Year parties.

All the goodies are mostly gone out of the house, the cola is gone, so I won't be replacing it. Only one more birthday party that I have to go to until March... But we have Carnaval in between there, the kids are off for a week in february. Oh yeah... NOT!

I have been so sick with this cold I haven't had any energy, and with the kids being home, I'm going stir crazy too. All my energy was being used for work and for keeping the house clean.

Now the kids are back in school today, I have yet to feel better. Woke up with an outer earache... I know how I got it, that is if its true you can get an ear infection from cold wind and rain blowing into your ear. And MAN it hurts like a bugger. I've got an appointment tomorrow with the doc, gonna tell him about my 17 moles that I want removed, about me coughing like a smoker for more than a month and my earache.

I bought myself a floor mat for doing my pilates exercises and found online a beginners 20min exercise video. The kids think its fun to join me for about 5 mins then they start to play around...

But now they are at school I can do my exercises in peace.

Breakfast today

1 cup banana, orange, berry smoothie (made with banana, orange juice, berries and milk)
2 slice of bread
2 slices of cheese
1 tsp salsa
2 slices of chicken lunchmeat (sandwich toasted in the toastie maker, no butter needed)
2 cups water

Is this is a better breakfast? Gym got cancelled this morning so I'm gonna do my pilates 2 times instead of once today, once this morning and once this afternoon.

You know my biggest problem with the pilates exercises? Is keeping my tummy sucked in... damn thats way harder than I ever remembered...

Hey sis... You need to get a little protein in the morning. It will help curb your appetite and give you more energy before lunch time. Hey and I know that I have said it a million times. Cut out the Cola, there are so many calories (without any other nutrient) packed into that little cup that you could enjoy almost a whole other meal. Love ya, Keep up the good work, how are the workouts going?

I'll be back to post only the weekly weighs, I'd rather do mentoring via msn instead of here. With that said BEST OF LUCK to whoever's on the diet track again!

After Christmas Beginning, taken Jan1: 60.5kg

Weigh taken this morning: 60.0kg

You know I've been coughing for almost a month now and its not getting any better.
If it hasn't improved by tuesday next week, I'm going to the doctor.
