Lazy, that would be me in 1 word lately… I cannot get myself to move! Even if the day before i plan plenty of stuff to do, when i get to there i just prefer to nap or watch TV, and it drives me mad afterwards. Yesterday i had planned to go to the gym and get some golf practice done today, and ….. Nada!! I got home at 4pm from my appointment with the Kitchen-guy (finally chose a kitchen for my flat woohoo), ate 2 slices of watermelon and then went to lie on the bed with a book instead of going outside and enjoy a bit of sun. It’s pathetic. And i have the sneaky feeling that the less i do, the worse it gets, meaning i’m getting more and more lazy and moving less and less. Today the top excuse to not do anything was both my arms still aching from the injections, the left one is really swollen and painful but still i could have at least gone for a walk or whatever, but nope. Recently i have discovered a passion for napping, and hell does it not make me feel any better after, i tell ya… It actually makes me feel all drousy and sleepy and my face is all frumped up not nice.

Has anyone of you ever had something he/she wanted to do once they became “thinner”? I for example, would love to once be able to run a long distance on a regular basis, like 10k 3 times a week without feeling like my lungs are gonna jump out of my mouth and sweating like a giant elefant!! And at one moment, i really got into running and made it up to 7k at a decent speed but then i sprained an ankle and quit a few months ago and now i just can’t find the motivation to practically start from scratch again…. It was a huge effort and now it’s all gone and i have to do it all again, bummer!

Hm foodwise was not great either, after the Chinese Feast yesterday evening (i managed fine really, no fried stuff and good choices i thought but still alot of food) i vowed to get back on track today. You will notice that it all went well until the afternoon during our break time… Let’s see

crap crap crap!! It seems like lately all i do is snack on sweet stuff….

Saturday i will be playing a charity Golf tournament at one of these fancy golfclubs, am excited. And so i’m meeting a friend for a small round tomorrow afternoon, nice and eazzzzeeeee

Have a good night all….

So after the mad squirrel attack i’m back on track. My fingers are still a bit swollen and painful and both my arms hurt because of the injections but i’m in one piece .Actually i did not really get off track that much yesterday, although i did have a sweet dessert after dinner but i’m not gonna be mad about that….

Here’s how the day turned out (fancy foodlog coming)

All in all, it was not very disciplined but i’m still happy because i have not snacked which means a whole lot to me… I usually have to have plenty of snacks!

Today is not that good a day, had Oats with milk this morning and at lunch i had a pizza with plain tomato sauce and mozzarella on it, nothing fancy really but i wonder how many points that was (i’m guessing about 10pts). And tonight i’m meeting my mum and a friend at our favourite chinese restaurant so i guess i will be using more flexpoints. But no need to worry, tomorrow is another day filled with activities such as Golf practice and a small Cardio session at the gym :).

Hiya People! This post was originally posted a few minutes ago on my other blog, but i thought i’d share a laugh with you all, so sit back, read and feel free to laugh out loud… this one goes on me

Squirrels are not cute!!!

Infact they bite, and when they do it’s very painful…. A very cute squirrel got into one of our hotelrooms through an open window at lunchtime! The maids were all panicky and so i went up with a waiter to check on the situation. We tried to shoo it out a window but it would always run in a wrong direction until it ran inside a room and we got in and closed the door.

We must have chased the poor thing around the room for at least a good 20 minutes, trying to get it into a cardboardbox or a towel. The little chap started getting tired and slow and when i finally got a grab of him and was screaming “hey, i got him!!” he bit me real hard in two fingers. The blood came running real quick and of course, the tears too…

My mum sent me straight to hospital to get a Tetanos injection and one for Rabies, just in case because you can never know right. So i walked into emergencies with my bloody hands and just blurted out “i just got bit by a squirrel” to a nurse, all the while tears were streaming down because it was painful and swollen! Now can you please imagine one moment how the people looked at me when i told them the story??!! That sounds truly stupid to me, and i think i would have smiled too if somebody came up to me and said he actually got attacked by a squirrel?! The doctor came and looked at the bites and just said “Miss this may look really harmless, but we will still need to get you vaccined against Tetanos and the Rabies!” and i’m like “fine, fire away!”. Nurse gets back and asks me my weight which i give her (by now i am even more embarassed and still crying like a baby). After 10 minutes the doc comes back and says he will have to inject me 12ml of that Rabies thingy into my body, and i’m like “bloody hell thats alot of liquid” and he says well it’s proportional to your weight really, we can’t do less than that….. Injections freak me out, but i usually just close my eyes and get it over with, but this time that was like 7 injections in total?! All this because a squirrel bit me?! No way! The injections were really painful by the way, 2 of em had to be done inside the bites, that hurt big time

I’m out of hospital now but need to get back there tomorrow morning so that the doc can check on the bites if there is an infection plus i gotta go back to get more injections against Rabies, like one every couple of days until mid august… That totally bums me, i hate it!

Soooooo children, what do you learn from this??? Do not touch small furry animals that come from the wilderness, ever, even if they look über-cute to you…. Bugger, bugger, bugger!!!!

Yep, it is… And it’s the day i have decided to get a grip of myself and get back on the WW train!

Sofar my day has been okay, am not craving rich foods because the heat is just too much. Just had a diet cottage cheese with fresh strawberries and it was just what i wanted, nice and fresh.

I got myself one of these fancy foodlogs too, thanks to Roni So here it is (will be updated at the end of day too):

Today i feel like i can really stick to the plan. Isn’t it amazing how some days it just comes all naturally and others you find yourself struggling real hard to stay within points range?

Note to self: you did not want those cookies, you were just bored …. next time drink a glass of water!!!

Have been overloaded at work and could not post earlier….

We have had a sudden heatwave here in Lux the past 2 days, so it has gone from a freezin’ 16°C up to over 30°C. I hate the temperature shifts we have here, how are you supposed to stay healthy like this??!!

Anyways i have been hiding inside since because my head is killing me plus it’s that time of the month again, the time where i start acting like a pregnant woman craving all sorts of food and being all bloated ewww. And i know it is no excuse for my current overeating, but i guess it just doesn’t make things easier for me really. Note to self: get a grip of yourself woman!!

So after all these sad excuses, (i’m really good at that, can you tell?) no journalling for me lately. Have just been picking out food randomly, sometimes making the healthy choice and other times the not so healthy one.

Might be interesting to know how i lost focus 2 weeks ago. I guess it happened the day we went to WI. The meeting i go to is wednesdays at 4pm, personally not a time of day i like because

1. i usually go there straight from work, so i’m never wearing the same clothes and shoes
2. i’ll have had 2 meals and several glasses of water at that time of day

So this is what happened. It was my second WI and already at the first one i was not happy because, when i stepped on their scale it said a very nasty 94kg while mine at home (in the mornings and naked!) said 92,4kg, but she wrote down 94kg of course. I arrive at the second meeting and step on the scales and it just says 94,1kg which of course totally threw me off, because i had had a really good week i thought. I was on plan the whole time and even went to golf a few times. I was really pissed off, cause the Coach kept asking me if i had really counted my points and if i was sure i had written everything down etc and i just said “yes, i wrote everything down, la la la…..” So this was wednesday a week ago and since then i have been stuffing my face like the big fat brought off girl that i am, it’s just pathetic, isn’t it?

Anyways, i’m not sure whether it’s a good idea to go back to the meeting this upcoming wednesday as i still got my periods. What do YOU think? And what time are YOUR meetings??

That was about it for now, more soon!

Well first of all, let me introduce….

Nathalie, 26, living in Luxembourg (Europe) and fat! Voila! That sums it up nicely actually.

Have started WW 3 weeks ago and already last week i completely lost focus and have been stuffing my face for days now, leaded by a hunger that no food on this planet can stop. So this week i’m gonna try and get a hold of myself and journal again, because it might be the only thing that can save me i guess.

For the stats: 1,68m, 93-ish kg —> Goal weight 69kg —> that makes a whole lot to lose!!
