Oh no

…. and i need to whine about it a little, so bear with me, please!

I’m feeling miserable and my ovaries are literally killing me. I’m grumpy and acheing and to top all of it i have a huge spot in the middle of my face, argh! Oh man, i’m hating this end of week right now

Happy New Year Ladies (and Gents maybe). I hope you all had a good start into the new year?

I’m feeling slightly hung-over on too much food this morning, excellent predisposition for a good start We had Raclette yesterday with 4 friends, so it was just a little party for me… but we had a good time, definitely!

So this is the first day of my 3-month Goals-list and Swizzle’s Excercise Challenge Sooooooooooo, Excercise definitely starts tomorrow as i’ll be gone visiting family today (although i might get quite a few steps in like that ) but goals-list is on from NOW!!!! And my current state of mind is focused and determined!

How about you, how are you feeling today on the 01/01/2008?

Oh man, i’m having a hard time focusing on healthy non-fatty foods right now… It’s cold outside and the shops are stocking up on christmassy stuff like gingerbread, eggnog and other delicacies which drives me mad every time i go shopping!

Does anyone else feel like that or am i the only freak here?

I’ve been keeping up with my Spinning classes ok, even though i have only been 2 a week which isn’t enough to really kick ass! But i’ve just been more interested in lying on the couch than going to the gym, i feel like i could sleep forever and the more i sleep the more tired i am. So i’ve figured i’d break the cycle tomorrow morning and get up at 8am to have a game of tennis before work with my Mum. It’s our new Thing, Tennis, well i used to play when i was younger and was quite ok at it but now i’m just depressing on the court Whatever! It’s good fun and always good to run around chasing a ball…

Oh, and has anyone had these Spam comments lately? I have been having some every couple of days, it’s really annoying!

I got an email from Sarah that she just shipped the Bento boxes i bought at her store so they should be here in about a weeks’ time! I’m excited about starting to pack bentolunches for me, i think they will make healthy food intake much more fun I really recommend her store (check the link) as it has a huge selection of Bento and accessories and she seems like a really nice and serious person.

I’m sooooooo hungover today. Had a big dinnerparty yesterday evening with 8 out of 9 people i didn’t know and it was a really great evening. We went to a new and trendy restaurant and the food was marvellous. Add plenty of wine to that and after-dinner drinks at a bar too and you have me getting back at 5 am this morning really really drunk I really enjoyed meeting new people because lately i just got bored of going out, it felt like you always met the same people… so this was really a nice change! But let me tell you, i am absolutely EXHAUSTED. I’m way too old for nights out on the town like this. I’m stuck at work until 3pm and then i need to wait for the guys from the furniture shop to bring by my couch while i actually just want to get back to bed! Does anyone have any matchsticks to keep my eyelids open???

I have just left approx. one pound of hair at the salon it’s gone and now i’m sporting a stylish biased cut bob…. It looks cool, i really like it. I just hope i’ll be able to get it done nicely in the mornings without too much fuss, because that’s really the problem with haircuts; they look fab at the salon but when you try it yourself it just never does look as good as the first time!! I feel much prettier and self confident now, it was just the thing i needed to get me motivated.

Due to too much Junk today on my menu (McD again for lunch, due to a lack of time and need of some quick food) i decided to be brave and skip dinner. Boy was that a bad idea?!?! Because it’s 11pm here now, and i’m starting to feel hungry…. but there is NO WAY i’m having something to eat now at this time, that would be insane really. So i guess i’ll just need to drink a gallon of water and get through this right? I just hope i don’t sleepwalk to the fridge in the middle of the night LOL. Good night people!

Catching up on Roni’s blog just now i stumbled upon a really inspiring entry by Pastaqueen where she is brutally honest with herself….
Reading this wonderful post made me think alot about myself and how i ever got the way i am today. And i came to the conclusion that it’s just because i was/am lazy and love food. Now i’m say “just” not to make it such a small deal but to emphasize that it’s not a health issue or so, it’s just that i stopped being active and started going out more (getting drunk with my friends at parties and having dinner at various places) or sleeping whenever i was home because i was so tired of work and not getting enough sleep in the night (if that makes any sense to you?) I used to be so much fitter and happier in the old days (hello?! that was 5 years ago…) and it would have taken just a little effort of myself to keep that up and not end up at the point where i am now. Now the good part is that i am willing to see my mistakes and work towards a better ME, but the difficult part is that bad habits are just so so hard to lose. Sometimes i’m just in a mood for a nap in the afternoon and nothing could make me change my mind, but when i do get my butt out of the house to the golfclub or the gym, i swear it’s the best feeling ever… so i’m asking myself “why the hell do you make it so complicated, girl?!?!”
Anyways this was a quick THANK YOU to Roni and Pastaqueen for the much needed inspiration and eye-openers!!!!

Turns out i’m slightly confused today… It’s the only way i can explain me getting up early this morning and getting all hyped on this meeting that i thought was going to take place this morning. Well guess what? It’s Monday today, and seeing as it’s Monday there ain’t no meetings in the morning!!!!!! I figured that out in my car on the way to there (thank goodness i did realize that early enough) and so i went to my flat and did some more cleaning there, which is a useful task too.

I won’t be able to make to meeting this week The morning meeting is tomorrow and i’m stuck at work the whole day, damn it… And i was seriously looking forward to it. I guess i’ll have to wait until next week then. I’ll have a quick step on the scales Wednesday morning just to see how i’ve done sofar.

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 :).

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!!
