Day 46 : The week's summary

This week's downs:

-Had a super intense week at work.....….. Wednesday was a particularly bad day and I went on a bit of a fruit binge.  On hindsight & thinking about the bigger picture I actually think it’s sort of cute, considering the nasty food groups I would’ve turned to pre-PCP life..... but at the time I felt SO guilty…. Never again!  (Contrary to expectations though, for some unkown reason the scales showed quite a drop the following day.. which I took was a sign from god that he’s giving me another chance.......)

-Amidst work chaos missed one too many egg whites in the morning.

-I think I’ve been fiddling around too much with the diets without confirming the validity of my choices, out of reluctance to add further complications to life.  Eg/ having ‘0 fat yogurt’ and ‘regular milk’, if that’s all that’s available during the day.

…..maybe I should check.

-Discovered the technicality issue that I will never be able to post comments on other peoples blogs via my own/office pc, ever.   ………sigh.         

This week's ups:

-Successfully worked my way around a social event!   I made modifications to the other meals prior to the event by cutting down portions, but had told people in advance about my initiative and they were all very supportive, making sure I got fed salad with the least amount of dressing on, and got the privilege of picking off all the veggie toppings on the pasta etc.  –I’m sure no one had any issues about eating my portion of pizza/ dessert…..

In terms of cost in VS food out,  it makes no sense whatsoever especially with the all-you-can-drink arrangement, but nevertheless it was nice to be partaking in regular social human activity for a change! 

-Statistics:   In order to set realistic expectations, before I enrolled in PCP I told Patrick my stats and asked how much weight I can expect to shift in 3 months if I bust my ass off..  He said 5-7Kgs.  So I decided to aim for –8Kgs, just to out do his predictions. But to ensure that actually happened I set my personal goals to -10Kgs. (I’m an ‘aim for the moon and land in the stars’ kinda gal)  

Day 46, I am -4.7Kgs :-D  I’m on track! (well… technically depends on where I perceive the actual goal to be I guess… but anyway). 

I know that numbers are not the universe…. But what the hell.    For now, yey, Go quantifiability!

Pics will follow soon.

Re:comments

Tracey:  no doubt I would have troughed it down and out a long time ago if it weren’t for everyone else doing this..!  horaay for team spirit & SNS!

Helen:  Arigato!   Thinking white sand…blue sea…. pinacoladas….

Brent:  Thank you!:-D  I think I’m becoming a bit of a coffee addict as well…  I would ask Patrick how much coffee is too much… but why complicate life further?

Mini:  chicken legs on the beach, that’s’ the plan…!;-)  

Kos:   passing the half way mark really feels like an achievement doesn’t it?  Counting the days til freedom!!  (….and a life long obsession worrying about the calorie content of any food after all this educational brain washing, with the continual & ever lasting rigorous work outs to ensure the 3months of effort are not reversed..? oh well we shall see…)
