Let's keep it simple this week shall we.
I gained weight. Yup, GAINED. A whole 600g. Back up to 113kg. Crap.
I had a lot of fun this week. Went out last night with some awesome mates, but over indulged in the alcoholic bevvies a bit too much. On the up side I DID snack less and only had one pasta meal, for which I used wholemeal spaghetti (which I personally believe is some cruel joke derived by the pasta companies).
Sooooooo, I now need to work harder than ever. I am going to attempt some kind of exercise every day this week as well as watching what I eat.
No one to blame but myself. It's a minor hurdle though, I can still win the race.

Goodbye My Lover
No, no, no the husband and I have not split up. It's time for me to say goodbye to my other great love.....Pasta.
Pasta, my old friend, I am afraid it may be time for us to part ways. I love you in all your shapes and sizes. Be it long and tubular, a groovy little bow tie shape, that funky spiral you sometimes appear in.....but, as with all great love affairs sooner or later things must come to an end.
I hate to cast blame, but pasta, when I hopped on those scales this morning waiting for the little digital numbers to give me this weeks weight, my mind drifted back to this past week and the times we had spent together. Those little digital numbers blinked at me and came back with 112.4kg. No change. And pasta I. Blame. You.
I exercised not only my usual 3 times with Bob, the Biggest Loser trainer from hell, but I also threw in some extra walking too. The only real thing I can think of is I spent to much time with you pasta. But to be fair, I seemed to be snacking much more this past week. Not UNHEALTHY snack mind you, just a bit to frequently I think.
So....This weeks aim is to eat MUCH less pasta (I'm pretty good with the other carb's) and alter my portion sizes so I don't feel the need to snack. Hopefully next week will bring a better result.

One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer
Well it was actually more like Two Moets, One Dodgy Champagne and Many Many Rums. Not the highlight of my first week, but man it was a GREAT night. With all the sugar in the Rum and Coke I was drinking I was starting to get a bit concerned that all the healthy eating and exercising (YES,I EXERCISED)was going to be all for nought.
Just a quick note regarding the exercising.....As I am in Canberra which is , well, freezing I have been exercising using The Biggest Looser Wii game. My first crack at it was last Sunday. By Monday afternoon every muscle below my bum was killing me. I mean it literally hurt to move. Thursday's Yoga was quite good, and then yesterday.....urghhhhhh. I hate you virtual Bob and your eternal perkiness.
So anywho, jumped on the good old digitals in the bathroom, the numbers flashing ominously up at me, waited for it to be done, had a look down (you're all on the edge of your seat are'nt you) 112.4 kg's. For those playing along at home that is 1.1kg's of mass now gone from my body (I'm hoping it has disappeared from my arse).
So back into it today. Hopefully life will become a little less hectic. We found out last week the Wookie has yet another food allergy making things a little stressful her at home. And this weeks hurdle will be the midweek food and wine fest also known as Bookclub. My Personal goal this week is to drink my 8 glasses of water each day.
Watch this space.

One
Hello one and all. Welcome to another sunny, and surprisingly not too cold morning in downtown ACT.
Weigh in day today. Jumped on the scales without to much concerrn, I mean it is the start right? 113.5kg. Damn those little black digital numbers. But, hey, it's now my official start weight.
So the first goal I have set myself is to loose 13kg's in 12 weeks. The big plan is to do this with healthy eating and some assistance from The Biggest Looser Wii game and just generally getting off my arse. I'm also off to get a haircut this week....a proper one....at an actual salon, not a chain that has the words "Just Cuts" in the title. I figure if I feel a bit happier about how my head looks the rest of me should follow........right???

Second Chance
Right.....So I guess I'll start at the start for those new to the game (those who know me can think of it as "Previously in Jacqui's life"....in short, a recap).
My name is Jacqui, I'm a 31 mother of two beautiful girls Kyla (aka The Wookie) who is 22 months, and Lucie (aka The Goose) who is 5 weeks. I have an amazing husband, Jake, and a mutt of a dog Ringo. I live in Canberra, which at the moment is frigging freezing. And I have a fat arse. Which brings me to my purpose and this blog.
Before I found out I was pregnant with the goose, i was in the midst of my own personal weight loss challenge. The goal was this: Thirty kilograms of weight to loose in 6 months. I know.....That's over a kilo a week, but with drive, determination and the support of my friends and family, I'm sure it can be done.
As an extra incentive, however, I was challenging people to sponsor me. Either a lump some or a dollar per kilo I lost in that time. All funds were going to go to Cancer research via the Everyday Hero's website.
Needless to say, this hit a wall....a 9 month wall.
Well ladies and gentlemen, that time is over and as there is exactly 6 months left of the year, it's GAME ON!! I weighed in this morning at a staggering 113kg (yeah yeah, I know) and the goal is to try my very best to hit 83kg by 1/01/11.
In a few weeks I'll be setting up my Everyday Hero's page again for donations. Rest assured to those who gave me money on my last attempt your money made it to the charity, and I will not let you down!!
Some my rules are this:
1. No fad diets (lemon detox, atkins, etc)....Just use the knowledge I already have from every other diet I have tried.
2. MUST exercise at least three times a week....Will probably do this via Wii Fit and (urghhhhhh) walking.
3. DO NOT beat myself up if I slip up....I am only human, I'll just have to work harder to fix it.
and finally
4. MUST weigh in and blog EVERY Sunday.....It'll keep me honest if I know people are watching me.....
So.....I guess I'll see you in a couple of days.
