Weight Watchers at Work

I just rang up Weight Watchers to discuss my options in transferring my membership over from Unlimited to At Work :-(

The lady said that you can't do it. I will have to cancel and then re-sign up. But I'm not even sure if I get access to E-Tools. I will have to suss out what I will get and how much it will cost and do up a comparison.

I'm kind of seeing a lot of gorgeous, beautiful skinny women around lately. I want to be one of them and the only way I will be is if I "act" NOW!

Boot camp

YAWN.... I made it to boot camp. I was 5 minutes late but I refuse to wake up any early than 5 AM. I was the only non baby boomer there, but I had a good partner and can really feel the burn in my arms. As a result of YAWN, I forgot my hairbrush so after showering at work I've had to tie it back with my fingers and hope for the best. I'm seriously not very high maintenanced anyways so I don't really care about it. I can see the girly girls looking at me in that "how can you come to work like that" way. Oh well. Coffee and porridge time.

Motivation

Motivation - what gets you out of bed in the morning or helps you run for that extra minute when you legs are burning!!!

I thought I may have lost complete care and motivation but I just finished soccer training (far out it was cold) and now I feel good!

Weight Watchers says that there are five factors that help find motivation:

1. Harness group support - I think I lack at this factor. I am hoping that WW at work will help with the discipline, drive and determination that you get from group support.
2. Write your goals down - I do have goals and how I'd reward them in my head but I think I should write them down so here goes:
   Goal 1 75 kg - reward with new running shoes and boy do I need them)
   Goal 2 73 kg - reward with a high visibility bike riding top (long sleeves as it is getting chilly)
   Goal 3 71.5 kg - reward with a facial
   Goal 4 70 kg - reward with some black boots (if I can afford them, my rewards are adding up)
   Goal 5 69.9 kg - this is my goal weight. I will reward myself by purchasing a full length mirror.
   Goal 6 LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP - I would love a weekend away with my man. We live in Tasmania and there are so many gorgeous places to go. I think I will pick Strahan.
   I know my goals are in very small increments but I am aware of just how slowly I am loosing it and when I get to the last five, they are always the hardest to lose.
3. Visualise what you want - I use to do this and I believe it works. I should do it again. I know that mentally I might set myself up for failure. Thinking - arrgh well you never lose it so why do you think you will this time.
4. Don't set the bar too high - I think this is what went wrong last time I did Weight Watchers. I remember wanting to be 67 kg and it is impossible for me. People who set unrealistic weight goals become demotivated. I think 69.9 is achievable?
5. Aim to avoid comparison - mmm.. hitting a weight loss plateau, feeling like other people are doing better than you or simply finding the regime harder than thought = demotivating. I must understand why my end goal is important to me and hold it in my mind.

Very interesting don't you think. I', heading to bed early. I'm hoping to make it to boot campt. I slept in yesterday (by choice) and didn't go.

Not to be read for inspiration.

One of the bloggers blogged "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different result - Albert Einstein".

I like it. It reminds me of my weight loss journey. Same exercise routine, same bad eating habits = same weight.

I don't feel like exercising this week. I scored myself a migraine after soccer on Sunday and had yesterday off work. today I feel tired and when I stopped off at the supermarket to buy bread I walked out with a packet of mars bar biscuits from the supermarket bakery. This is why I buy my groceries online, to stop myself from doing stupid things. I now feel so sick that I have changed into my pyjamas.

You probably shouldn't be reading this if you are looking for inspiration... I must be honest with myself and be weary of the triggers.

I think my frame of mind has some what taken a few steps backwards. Because Weight Watchers is coming to my work I am using it as an excuse not to bother. But now I feel like a fat slob. I think my period might be due. I'm not normally like this? Or am I?

I think I'll have a shower and get an early night.

ouch

After a fail of a day yesterday I made it to judo.

It was a struggle. I had to offer a girl at work a lift into town which is on my way to judo in order the make myself go. If she said no I would have just gone home. But now I am sore. I feel like th big girl at judo and I hate that feeling. I move slower, an I am not actaully that good at it. I do howver, have many war wounds to prove that I went. My butt is sore. Having a sore butt is difficult because the pain is deep within the fat layers where the bone is. You will find me often at the corner of my desk trying to give it a good rub. Ha ha!

I have bruises up my arm and my hip bone has a massive bruise. Then there's the shins....

My BF has the day off work. Lucky thing. He does work hard so he deserves it but I would so love a break from it all right now.

We both suck at communication. I am all dressed up with plans to go out for after work drinks with some girls in the city. However, Robert also made plans to invite people over for dinner. The weekends have been so full on that I haven't done any house work in 3 weeks. So I have to ditch drinks and go home and clean and then think of what to cook for tea.

Weight Watchers is coming to my work

That's right!

WW is coming to my work. We are booked in. I have no idea why it takes so long to organise. Anyway - we are starting TUE 25 May at 2 PM.

I have been slacking of the tracking and basically what I put in my mouth side of things for the last few weeks knowing that Weight Watchers is coming to my work. No more excuses (soon).

I didn't go to boot camp this morning. My boyfriend is not very good at motivating me to exercise. Every morning -

Rob: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Stay in bed"
Polly: "Don't do this to me, do you want a fat GF or a skinny one?"
Rob: "I want cuddles"
Polly: (thoughts in head) "Sounds nice, I like this attention"
Polly: "Okay"
1 minute later - we fall asleep and nothing happened and the calories from last nights ice cream settle back on my butt.

Now I feel sluggish. Now I feel like I just want to go home and do nothing. It is amazing how a start to the day that is outside your normal routine just takes you out of wack.

I weighed myself this morning. I weighed 77.7 kg. So I am really back at the start again.

*Sigh

It will happen though. I know that inside me is another body that wants to shine. Her clothes are waiting for her and taking up 3/4s of my wardrobe...

HONESTY is the best policy!!

I read in this month's Women's Health magazine that one of the keys to loosing weight successfully is to record openly and honestly about your weight loss journey. This includes the highs and lows lows lows.

So here I go. *GULP*

So last week was hectic at work and I didn't do any exercise for 6 days and you already know thatI organised a forum for work so there was lots of nice forum food to indulge it - I indulged!

On the weekend I tried to make up with it by exercising in all my spare time. But I'm still failing on the food part! I did try sometimes....

Saturday
Morning run with my girl friends followed by a latte and poached eggs and bacon on (only one) piece of toast.

Lunch time bike ride (40 km and lots of hills) followed by sarsaparilla and 2 X sausage roll ( 1 sausage roll = 10 points)

Too stuffed to cook dinner! Yep we ordered pizza! Gourmet vegetarian and a garlic prawn pizza. It was so delicious. Especially when I washed it down with REAL coke.

Sunday

Toast with Vegemite (love) and orange juice. Followed by a FULL game of soccer (we drew) and crisps as my partner was eating them when I got home.

I made a nice and healthy broccoli soup (only 2 points) for dinner. But um - failed it with a banana split!

I seriously don't eat like that all the time but how crazy? That pizza was seriously Devinne though :-)

I made a healthy pasta dish last night (I should start taking pictures) and tonight we are having mini pita bread pizzas (6.5 points) with salad (0 points).

I am seriously hoping that when Weight Watchers comes to work I get my act together.
