Happy St Patricks Day!! Well almost :) Thought id check in and let you now how im going so far this week... no take away as yet which is GREAT! I have been finding however that ive been tired alot and STARVING esp at night, and find that i would end up binging by eating way to much for dinner etc. but thanks to the FABULOUS peeps on the WW msg boards ive found my new best friend.. PROTEIN! They suggested i eat more protein and less fruit (i was eating heaps before and it wasnt getting me through to the next meal), so heres how it went:

~Previous Typical Day~

Breakfast: Vegemite toast or fruit smoothie

Morning Tea: Fruit (babana or apple or watermelon or grapes)

Lunch: Chicken & salad sandwich or frozen meal (eg WW or lean cuisine)

Afternoon Tea: Fruit or WW rice crisps

Dinner: Numerous things normally protein and vege or some kind

SNACK SNACKS SNACKS or 2nd Dinner!! EEk!!

~Todays Meals~

Breakfast: 2 eggs on toast

Morning Tea: 3 x WW crispbread with WW cottage cheese and ham

Lunch: Frozen Lean Cuisine (Chicken Pasta) & banana

Afternoon Tea: WW rice crisps

Dinner: Beef stirfry (with veges & rice)

Yummo and you know what?? I wasnt hungry! And stayed exactly in my points (prev i have been going over everyday) and i also found i had way more energy and was more alert! So i guess protein is my new best friend, obviously not over doing it but definitely eating more of it. Im a little concerned about how this will effect my weight so i guess ill have to keep an eye on it. I figure even tho im eating more protein im actually eating less in the long run as it keeps me inside my points?? Anyway we will see..

Other than that my friend Treza and I went for a massive walk the other day, we walked 2kms mostly up STEEP hills, our asses were burning but it was great!! My lungs were burning from all the oxygen but i felt buzzed after, cant wait to do it again! Took us about 30mins so will see if we get faster. Ive been out of my usual exercise routine this week because im on the late shift so wil have to make up with it on the weekend i think. Will be under temptation as going to Trezas birthday party (Happy Birthday Trez!!) so will be working on resisting alcohol and eating crap food... argh will be hard but i can do it!

Well thats it from me, ill let you know how my weigh in goes and if i meet my mini goal of no takeout (so far so good.. tho weekend is nearly here eek!!)

Ciao Lovelies!!!!!

Oh here is the quote i got from WW meeting that is keeping me focused at the moment (i find i give in to temptation because i focus on now instead of the future so heres my new mantra):

"Dont lose sight of what you want most for what you want at the moment!"
