lose weight

Grr, not happy. Was at certain number and so happy about it, and then the numbers just went up. No gym, visitors in town + pizza outings, and: ice cream, ice cream wherever I go. So much for making a bella figura on the Italian beach! :-(

After a week in Paris, I’m relieved to find that my scale still reports the same weight as before in trip, even a little less. Which is a bit weird, given that I had chocolate croissants for breakfast and also consumed innumerable salami and cheese baguettes during the day. On the other hand, we walked a lot. And my boyfriend conducted a series of experiments with different brands of chocolate cookies which I did not participate in as much. I’m glad!
40 days to go before Italy…

The digital scale must be broken. Or maybe not? It says one or two kilos less than I’d think. Hm. Am definitely weighing less than last year, and maybe the recent attempts not to snack constantly also pay off. It’s good when I’m not at home so often. Libraries: no food allowed…

Well. Living on my own for four weeks, two of which have passed. I dunno. I lost a kilo in the first week, ate mostly salads (but with bread). Indulged in chicken wings, a vanilla pudding in the second week.

Feel bloated right now, for I spent the whole day sitting on my butt – 9 hours in the office, 2 hours in the waiting room (doctor’s visit) – and ate muesli, twice, an apple, spaghetti and one joghurt. Could’ve been worse, but don’t feel so hot.

And not so very hopeful. There were many times when I thought I was sticking to healthy eating habits, and then the scales told me otherwise, to my huge shock.

But summa summarum, I think I’m doing okay. Isn’t that something – “okay”? Plus I’m altogether lighter than I was during the summer. I printed out the diagram with the past six month’s progress and will put it up my wall.

Guilty pleasures: Two smallish chocolate bars today. Could’ve been much worse. Joghurt for breakfast, a healthy dinner.

Not sure what happened in the past months, but somehow I gained some weight since June, instead of reducing it! Whereas previous I had managed to at least stay in the same spot.. not good. I quit smoking for a month (then took it up again, but in small doses) and maybe that had something to do with it. On the hand, I had less chocolate. It’s all bit weird but I’m determined to get back on track and to be disciplined in the use of my online weight-loss coach.
