Day 68: Between a Smile and Scowl =Smowl? :D

Woke up: - 400gms (600gms more to lose from the binge experiment)

Im wearing a really nice get up today.. Im so happy with it.. I got a lot of compliments as well.. Whenever Im in the pantry getting water or coffee, and a colleague is there, there is always a compliment on my weight loss.. tee hee.. happy me..

My bestie came for a while to have coffee with me. We are excited about our Vienna trip next week.. while her birthday is this weekend.. All arrangements done too..

Good times :)

But.. Hmpf!

I know I have no reason to scowl today, except for the fact that I can taste the temporary filling on my tooth, that I am taking the antibiotics + pain killers, and that my question to the consultant was answered like this (after asking abt the anesthesia, antibiotics and pain killer effects):

Thank you for your e-mail.

Please continue to follow your eating plan ? this will result in the best possible progress.

We wish you a speedy recovery!

I scoff..

Tonight was our hosted night for the Maifest and I didnt have my last meal with me. I went for yoga and then bought myself some greek yogurt and ate it with a pear. Gladly, with the DCs and water, I lasted through the evening.

The maifest was sooo much fun, the tent is almost packed on a Wednesday and guests were all merry, drunk and bright :D dancing on benches on famous German and Austrian music :)

All meals taken on time, vitamins, fruits and crackers too. 3DCs..

Day 67, DV free.

Day 17: Happy Bunny

 I am :D

The scale has moved down again this morning.. so whew..

People keep telling me:

"You've lost so much weight!" *smile sweetly*

"You look toned now." -- "I am?" *smile*

"You lost weight?" -- "Yes" *smile proudly*

"What more you want to lose??" :D I answer 13kgs more, and they go "Whatttt???!!!!!" *snicker inside and smile*

"What diet are you doing? Give me the food plan!" --- Ummm noo zzirrreeee.. "let me tell you..."

Honestly if you look at me before Cohens, I was just chubby. I have shape, but Im not flab free, so people are more forgiving of my size and I think I look taller than I really am (posture is quite good, my teenage years were spent with my mom correcting my sloppy posture in my attempt to hide them "girls").

You can call me "proportionately fat!" :D

But the truth is, I am fat. I have fat, which I want to lose..

See, at the beginning of this journey, I have clarified that my aim was not to be skinny. Although for now that seems to be the route Im taking. So when people ask "What more do you want to lose?", I really cannot explain quickly my REDUCE, REBUILD and MAINTAIN plan.. Its kind of tiring...

5kgs really does make a difference. I dont know from where that 5kgs came from (from fat, from muscle, from water) but the effect on my appearance is totally SIGNIFICANT. Comments like that make me feel proud and want to go further.

Today was quite a busy day, I kept 2 DCs on my desk for that sweet craving (just had 1 though).. I seriously miss those cookies and the biscuits that I love to have nearly everyday. Cashew biscuits dunked in orange juice and I suckle on them first before chewing.. yumm yumm

Ate my meals as planned, but I think I had too much button mushrooms for today (4.5 pcs- 2.5 for BF and 1 per meal). I heard mushrooms have an effect on weightloss, guess will find that out tomorrow morning.

BF: egg+mushrooms,capsicum,onion
S: 1 crispbread and coffee
     sipped DC through before lunch
L: Beef stirfry + veggies - cabbage, capsicum, onion, mushroom
S: 2 crispbreads
D: Stir fried Bok Choy (in garlic,onion and ginger) topped of with garlic-ky prawns and tilapia fillets + 2 crispbreads
S: 1 cheek and the bone/middle of a mango (kept the other cheek for tomorrow's breakfast..

DV free but forgot to take my multivitamins today.. :/

I shopped for afew clothes.. my aim was just to buy a birthday dress but I ended up with a lot more.. I did buy the clothes 1 size smaller or fitting tight passable to be worn now, but would look better when i lost more weight. :)

I cant wait for the Rebuild phase of my plan.. Uff!! I can see those toned muscles coming up!!!



Im an Angel.. until you leave
this room & stop giving
me cuddles!

On a side note, my foster cat is driving me nutttttsss!! he is such a sweetheart, but whenever I leave him alone in the kitchen, he cries and cries and cries like madness!!!

Thank God for earplugs!

Good day people! :*
